Polish/Wax

[Chris.S]

I always find either "Mer" or "Colour Magic" work well on my car

[andyhart21]

I have always found Mr. Sheen to be the best polish:smilegrin:

My mate from work says that the Meguires polish is the best he has ever used. He says it kicks Auto-Glyms *****

[andyhart21]

ps - does anyone else hate that white residue dust you get with Auto-Glym?? It takes days for that stuff to come off

[Steve]

hmmm.. i dont get residue.... do you wipe it off when it is dry>. i rub the whole car with it then go round and rub it off when its dry.

i find it cool.. but that is the resin one.. not super shine or what ever it's called

[Wallace]

Hi andyhart! The windscreen cleaner from Autoglym is just as bad for leaving dust all over the place! Seems to hide under the windscreen rubber, just when you think its all gone!:smilegrin:

The post above are about 3 years ago, so what about the technology today ? Which brand of the polish/wax is best for our IS200, Meguires, Mothers, Autoglym etc ? Can the experts here continue their advise for the technology today ? Anyway, what's Autoglym, haven't heard of it before.

Autoglym is a resin polish part of a range of products produced by, you guessed it Autoglym.

All their products are excellent and you can source them from most car accessory shops ie Halfords etc. :)

I use an Hydrophobic nanotech polyglasplesin 12 % PTFE resin polish.

[Mr Morse]

And what's that.....in plain English?

[eurochem]

Mike

More or less what is says on the tin.

We use this resin for lots of applications cars, boats, aircraft, space rockets, wind farm blades and recently military radar systems in Cyprus and Turkey.

Basically its a rather special polyplexin polymer with suspended Nanotech particles that are so miniscule they get into almost every open pore of micron of area covered.

[Mr Morse]

So.......if this kit is as good as we are LED to beleive....what is it? and can Joe Pubic buy it?

[eurochem]

Who said it was any good ?? I just mentioned that i use it on my car thats all.

I used Turtle Wax about 10 years ago. I bought it because of the TV commercail that shows how briliant it is. But I did not find it as good as it was shown on the TV, it was pretty general Though ;)

[mr zymol]

Zymol is the best stuff available and is totally natural, carnauba in its natural form is harder than concrete and zymol contains way more than the others so offers more protection. many people find it difficult to use and the instructions a bit baffling but if you get the correct info it is simple and easy.

the whire residue some of you complain of is chalk which is used as a drying agent, but read the bottles and see some of the other ingredients (petroleum dissilate) solvents, harsh chemicals who would want to put these on there car when natural products far superior are available. the products are also not expensive, you just get a lot for your money, please, please please drop me a line if you need any help.

Autoglym for me too, with the resin top coat....

Same here

[wow300]

I used the Auto-glym window cleaner for the first time this week and thought it was excellent, wait for it to dry then wipe off, comes off easy too.

I have recently started using Meguires polish for bodywork and very happy with the results, better than auto-glym i think....

I have used the Turtle Wax Platinum stuff on the leather seats - does a really good job, pleasantly surprised.

Apart from that, it's Meguiar's all the way for me. :D

[Bigblkballr]

no the black is not metalic,just an ars* colour to keep clean/polish,i find blacks the worse colour possible,anyway it was only for 6 months untill the white one turned up:cool:

....and the black IS goes, "Eez it becos I eez black?" lol

Mines Met green, no probs but you can only appreciate a good waxing on a nice bright day.

has anyone tried this mcguires stuff,ive seen quite a few adverts around for it...........

Have a Look here Matt!

This is after I used the Deep crystal 3 stage system. The pics are only of my missus' old motor and were taken after slight rain with a mobile phone but the stuff worked absolutely brilliantly. It is the best I've seen without the help of a buffer or polisher.

This 3 stage system is only to be done every 6 months to a year so I use the Meguiars Gold class polish on a regular basis. It is carnuba based and is much easier to use than the Autoglym stuff as it is a very fine polish and only a very light coat is needed each time!

I would strongly recommend that Autoglym users at least give the Meguiars a go so you can see the difference yourself :o

Ditto ! If you try Meguiar's I promise you will not go back to Autoglym.
