Re your comment about autoglym interior cleaner can you tell me which product you were talking about for removal of scuff marks and was it the interior shampoo by any chance?
The reason i'm asking is because i have tried a host of products and the scuff marks remain.
Your help would be most appriciated.

Interior shampoo, sue neat with a nailbrush nice and gently then wipe off with a damp cloth. Dead easy.

Use the paint renovator with a cotton cloth gently & then polish over the top.

So this would be the way to go then:

1. Autoglym paint renovator

2. Autoglym Super Resin Polish

Should a good wax be used on top of the polish?

Thanks again

P.S. Can the Autoglym paint renovator be used on all paint finishes? . My wife's Megane needs a good scrub up as well - could I use it on that also. I think the Megane's paint is non-metallic - my 75 is pearlescent

Hi CDTi. Essentially the polish gets you the finish, and wax then enhances and protects it. So yes, after polishing you're best using a wax - otherwise you're leaving your hard earned shine open to the elements.

In fact for a real top notch finish, some people advise using a product like Autoglym EGP (Extra Gloss Protection) and then a wax. When I've done so myself I've found it's great stuff.

But if that's too much hassle, then just a wax is definately a good idea.
