Autoglym, i use it on my black mk 1 caddy, gives it one hell of a shine and it removes swirls too!  :smiley:

Not a fan of Autoglym - used it in the past and to be fair, it doesn't have a patch on the Meguiar's products for price comparisson.  Clay bar and detailer to clean properly, Stage 1 paint cleaner, Stage 2 polish and Stage 3 carnuba or the NXT Wax.  Wash with Soft wash gel or Gold Class wash so as not to sptrip the work you've done!!!

That's an extreme clean mind!  After that you're into the realms of orbital polishers and the like - check out www.polishedbliss.co.uk for a fantastic set of products and a really helpful guy!

I've used Klasse all in one polish and Optimum car wax on my new ALtea - easy to apply as time is premium.  Well happy with the results on platinum grey.

Gotta agree with RaKeR, I've used Autoglym and found it loads of hard work for very average results but until something better for the money comes along I'll be sticking with Meguiar's  :grin:

yeah me too! after years of using autoglym and liking it i've just had my car resprayed and have started using meguires wax's to keep it looking hot and i'm very impressed, goes on easy, buff's off easy and seems to use alot less than i'd imagine.

best stuff i've seen in action though is swizzol stuff. its amazing but not cheap. zymols biggest rival....

I'm an autoglym dude. Used to use Mer but i seemed to end up with a lot of swirls when i buffed it off.
