Default What polish do you use etc

ive always used auto glym ( as its free)

just wondered if there is anything else out there that is superior to it,

btw, when i polish my car i use a bottle with a mix in it

60% Resin Polish 40% Extra gloss

goes on easier and comes of easier

auto glym dealer told me about it

i have really gone off of auto glym because of all the dust you get when polishing it off. Meguirs is the stuff to use so im informed. There is a detailing website that is well worth checking out, you would not believe the difference they can make to your car! and its full of tips etc too...
