Best Polish ever? meguiars or glym - Page 2

Pete · 5th November 2007, 21:54

I use them all! Bit pointless as Autoglym polish doesn't layer so after a cut and clay (again not exactly necessary but seeing as I bought the stuff it may as well get used

) I stick with one coat then seal it with Poorboy's and then a couple of coats of Natty Blue. Lovley bubblegum smell as mentioned before.

She comes up well.......

That may have been a blatent showing off of The Beloved, but she's gorgeous.

Its great stuff Tim. If I could only have one detailing product, it'd be Carlack 68, no question. Clean your car are a good bunch but also try www.polishedbliss.co.uk . Rich stocks some of the less widely known brands such as Blackfire, Menzerna and Jeffs Werkstatt.

If you have a black car you will be amazed by either Pinnacle Souveran or Menzerna Full Molecular Jacket. Finer kit is not to be had.

Well if you do mine at same time Tim, No worries.

TimO · 5th November 2007, 22:16

Ah but Silver never needs cleaning

JohnDotCom · 5th November 2007, 22:21

You must be Joking.
I have to wash mine at least a Couple of times a week, not quite so often with the Polish Though.

Being bone idle and alergic to labour, I use my 14V cordless drill with a 4" pad to apply - although it's easy enough to use by hand, I prefer using the drill as I get an even, thin coat. I tried my mains drill once - the stuff went everywhere, much too fast!

I buff off using microfibre dusters, one for each panel & door. Windows cleaned with AG Glass Cleaner.

This of course after it's washed with Carlack wash, using a Mitt & 2 bucket method, dried using a Sonus drying towel.

Finally, tyres dressed & she's ready to get dirty again!

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!
