anyone used this before? comments?
we sell autoglym at work so i can buy @ cost price. :smug:

Yep I have a pot of this in the garage.
Only used it once on the gf's new Polo and was very impressed with the results, it gave a deep wet look and has lasted quite well.
Application was easy with the supplied sponge but it was a bit of hard work to remove.

IMO its a good wax & good value considering you get two applicators and a mf finishing cloth in the box. Durability is good.
Mine after 1 coat:

A second coat adds a little more gloss and depth so is well worth doing. Do this after at least 24hrs of the first coat. Sorry no pics - rained :evil:
IMO wax adds only a little to a well prepared paintwork (other than a slick feal and protection granted). Biggest imporvement in looks will come from claying followed by a polish. 1st pic after claying and polish.

And below after waxing:

The cloth was there beacause the box slid off the bonnet after waxing! Other than that there is little to choose between the 2 photos. :smiley: ...........a little more gloss perhaps :undecided:

i am hearing good stuff about this AG wax... but if you already have MF cloths and applicators you might be better off getting something else as Kells said.... unless you can buy at cost price which is distinctly unfair! :angry:
simon... nice finish on the mk2 :cool:

collinite 915 or a dodo juice to suit your paint colour
i use chemical guys 50/50 with a jetseal 109 sealant underneath it... i think it is a great wax

This is worth a read on waxes http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showpost.php?p=1032401&postcount=3 (http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showpost.php?p=1032401&postcount=3)
Might give the collinite a go next but a tub of wax lasts a long time :wink:
