Title: Auto Glym
Post by: Roverdose on 23 February 2009, 15:32

Oh my god! im in love with my car again thanks to this stuff! Spent 2 days detailing, washed it with a toothbrush, then super resined it to get the tar and stains out followed by a really good megs crystal wax then used auto glym gold extra gloss protection, never used it before and i must say im absolutely staggered! my car was a total and utter shed on friday and now its hard to beleive its the same car! im off to get some pics!

No it can ruin some types of plastics  :smiley:

I would stick with a proper engine degreaser or something like jizer  :laugh:
