I need some polish for the RS. I used to use Autoglym Super Resin Polish and Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection. I ditched the EGP for Meguiars Gold Class and now want to replace the Super Resin Polish with the Meguiars equivalent. What is it??

I want something that has polishing (light cutting) ability. Not as harsh as T-Cut though.

 

they do something called Scratch-x i think thats quite good..


but most of their stuff seems to cover light scratches or swirls!

 

Meguiars teck wax in the purple bottle is the same but 10x better

 

Use the Meguiars clay first, makes a big difference

 

mmmmm i heard that what it like to do ???????? messy??? take long????

 

Nah, it's like plasticine, you put the detailer on and then rub it down with the clay. Amazing what it gets off. Then wax the car

 

Here's a good guide for cleaning waxing

It's not really messy, will take a while, but the results are well worth it. The claybar removes contaminants (diesel fallout, sap etc) from the paintwork, leaving it really smooth and clean, prior to waxing.

As with painting a car, preparation is important for good results.

 

ive got my own business doing valeting but ive never tryed the clay ....would like to give it a go on my car...

 

Good question Christian,I finished my bottle of Autoglym Super Resin polish yesterday and was thinking what to replace it with!!!!Regards Micky

 

Meguiars clear coat body scrub, is like a fine T cut.

Only ever used gold class and it still gives stunning results...





But i will be trying the clay bar very soon!

 

clay bar

then next gen wax

 

i sell the stuff and althouh autoglym is good meguias is so much better.
the equivalent to super resin will be cleaner wax.very fine cutting agent in a protective wax. for best results the clay to start,cleaner wax,step 2 deep crystal polish(which deepens the paint colour.) then nxt gen tech wax.
if using the clay make sure iti isnt a old day. you have to make sure he clay can stay supple or you could scratch paint.warmish days stop this.

with nxt gen tech wax 2 thin coats are better than 1 thick coat.
hope this helps

 

How come this re-appeared??!!

I went to Halfords and no-one in there knew what they were talking about. I hoped that they might be able to tell me which one I needed. I actually bought. I think, the Step 2 polish. Can't remember exactly. But it was shite anyway. So I took it back and got a big bottle of Super Resin Polish. I thought it best to 'go for what I know'!!

 

proberbly due to the person using it, not the polish pmsl

 

Get an empty bottle and mix 60% resin polish and 40% extra gloss protection, shake well and try that

You cheeky bastid.

So, how come when I reverted back to the SRP, I was pleased with the results then? I imagine that I had the wrong product more than the fact that it was shite. As I was happy with the performance of the Super Resin Polish, I just merely wanted to change brands, it was hard to know which one was right!!

 

In simple terms :

SRP = One application 'All in one'
Step 2 polish = As in name STEP 2 (from a three stage process)

At a minimum the step 2 neads sealing in with a good wax (with no cleaners) i.e. NXT or SRP over step 2 = step 2 completely removed.

and remember that a crap wax on a well preped surface will look far better than a top wax on a badly preped surface.

Although most of my stuff is megs pro range if your applying to the white turbo in your sig and you dont want to throw a full day at it - stick with SRP

 

quick clay and then tech wax on top, not kiding but amazing results, you thought your car was smooth?, not until you have tried quick clay(trying not to sound like a commercial)

 

turtlewax nano tech wax.

the dogs bollocks.
