Best Polish ever? meguiars or glym

The Pez · 5th November 2007, 18:24

I always used Auto glym until i discovered Meguiars.
As copperleaf red is a dark maroon colour, and looks awsome when polished, which polish do you all find best?

Meguiars is my choice by a mile, but which is best? Tech nxt generation? Paste? Gold? or the three srtage system????

Does anyone else have any secret formulas to make it shine like no other?

I swear by Natty's Poorboys wax - blue. Formulated for dark cars. Smells of bubblegum, easy on easy off and no dust when removing.

Not cheap though, but a tub lasts ages.

Warning! It's very easy to spend a small fortune on that site!

The service from them is excellent, one of the best online ordering experiences I've had.

Cheers for that Tatts I see what you mean in your warning but a shine like you have on yours must be worth it

Good grief - I have been using Autoglym for years quite happily, but now I see this thread. Oh no, there is a link to a car cleaning website and recommendations for others ...

My bank card has left my wallet and is floating through the air. I try desperately to guide it back, but my fingers have somehow typed its number into the order page!

I sit here stunned at what just happened, yet I can't wait for the postman!

After many years using only autoglym products, I recently Used Diamond Brite on my car WOW what a result, just a bucket of warm water and she all shiny shiny again.

Actually, thought I would pop up to Halfords to see what is there. I came across the Meguiar's range. I got a Mit, extra bucket, clay kit and NXT generation Tech Wax and their car shampoo.

I washed the car using two buckets as recommended. I then used the clay on the back and roof of the car, followed by a polish. As I said, I have used Autoglym for years, but always found the resin polish to shower the car with white flakes during polishing. The Meguiar's polish leaves no trace once it is polished off - a much more satisfying effort!

Standing back after polishing with Meguiar's I have to say the shine IS far deeper looking. It may be because I used clay on the car first, meaning Autoglym may have looked as good, but my impression was a deeper and 'wetter' shine than I have ever seen before.

No doubt I will try the other polishes recommended here at some point, but I am very happy with Meguiar's for now.

I will have to change the picture in my sig now :lol:
