well what can i say, its bl;oody amazing, i thought i needed a paint job unitll i tried it, no picks im afraid as its all tucked up again, but 100 times better than that crap turtle wax stuff that i originally thought was good

Anyway i polished her up on saturday and wanted to let you know that its a cheapish and quality product, excellent for my white comp mo's too!

gingeRS

you should try a decent polish then

meguiars poorboys etc


soo much better

Maxfield

Anyone on here tryed Zaino it is absolutley awesome stuff!!!

I highly recomend it!!

lukeytheduke

what are the difference though ginge? Have you still got your car??

bud-weis

Auto Glym is literally rubbish when you try other products

go into concours section and check the recommendations

duragloss is fantastic,poorboys too....loads to choose from,but you'll never use AG again!!

lukeytheduke

yer but come on Martin, what are the differences though?? can you use say poorboys with auto glym car wash or do you need the whole kit?

ive been using Autoglym bodywork shampoo on the GTi for the last 2 years and it always makes it mirror shiney, havent needed to polish

gingeRS

i just found the autoglym stuff used to make loadsa dust, and the meguirs stuff is better, goes on easier, comes off easier etc

i still have the car, someone came to see it on saturday and is supposed to be coming back next weekend, with someone who knows more about them. so may be gone soon

I find the Autogrim Paint Renovator excellent on the old motors I find myself polishing..

But for a polish to finish... Meguires is a real nice product to use.

Smells lovely, goes on easy, comes off easy without any mess.

Their metal polish is real nice too...

I love auto glym for the whole cleaning range

as for its rubbish ................

thats just rubbish and thats all i use on my cars, u will get some chalkyness but i dont find it bad compared to quite a few others !!!

And yes ive tried prob every brand out there

Heres a few before and after piccies .........

Heres the results of a cut then polished up with super resin .........




This is when i bought the car ,paint was really crap and thats what a garage calls a car ready for its new owner ,lol !!




Heres a few of my now gone cossie also ,paint was flat as fook till i bufty'd it with auto glym ...............

Thats just before it was picked up with the new owner



This is the pic i took after i drove home from Sussex and gave it a quick wash ,paint was very flat and needed tlc ,even tho quality of piccy is shit ..


This is once i gave it the auto glym love treatment with its first buft session



Ive loads more piccies of other previous cars but thats enough to prove its good enough

I use MER lol, its a bit difficult to gauge how good it is on a white car though!

essex_jamie

i want to try some new no chalky shit just dont know what to go for really, as i dont know where to buy anything else apart from autoglym from halfrauds

john

Meguairs all the way for me too helps as i also stock it at very good prices

essex_jamie

do you now, mmm wanna sort me out some hehehe

to answer your questions,yes you can mix and match any products,just use what your happy with
but put it this way, i spent about £90 on products ( from serious-performance) that included;

Duragloss 901 car wash concentrate (shampoo)
Duragloss paint cleanser
Duragloss 111 clear coat polish
poorboys natty blue paste wax
lambs wool mitt (no scratchy sponge!!)
proper waffle weave drying towel (again no scratchy chamois)
Sonus detailing clay bar with poorboys spray and wipe as lubricant
Duragloss 253 tyre and rubber dressing
poorboys world wheel sealant
about 6 microfibre polishing towels
3 applicator pads.

Now if you go into Halfords or somewhere and buy a range like the above,it'll cost more than £90 i bet,then when you get onto the actual products,the cleanser works very well to clean and prepare the paint,the clear coat polish gives a very durable shine, the natty blue paste wax gives amazing shine....now when you've applied all of these products they last ages,the next time you come to clean the car,you can just use the duragloss shampoo and it won't take all of the layers off because it's got no harsh detergants at all,it just cleans so easily.so you really only need to top up the shine,or just do the same thing once a month maybe.

Every product in that list is easy to apply,and gives amazing results with NO dust whatsoever,i have tried nearly everything before and this lot is streets ahead when you consider the price of it!! there is better out there no doubt,but your talking silly money really.

also all of these products bar the shampoo still have loads left 3 months down the line

i don't have any really good photos to show the results,but these two are of notoriously difficult colours to make shine,white and silver...
