Oh yes.
I used autoglym till I tested a sachet of megiuars on half the bonett and autoglym on the other.
Definate improvement.
A lot more to choose from ie. wax, polish,clay. Something for everyone and every part of the car.
Nearest supplier to me is ASK at Kippax.
Went to Autech in Dewsbruy the other day and they stock it too.

Always thought Autoglym was pretty good myself. I've stuck with it for a while now
My ex's Mum got a load of Meguiars stuff off QVC but I never got to test it out before we split up.

feel autoglym always leaves a white residue and it's quite a pain to get off..Not as easy as it should be..

Also when I use autoglym polish..what wax etc or shine do they do? to put on after the polish..Never used that stuff..???

autoglym is a polymer based polish which is why it probably don;t last as long as wax based polish.

that new turtle wax clear view stuff is very good. tried that out on my GT. worked a treat. no white residue.


as for shampoo. halfords own

Ive got some Meguirs 3 step stuff to use, but in all honesty i love the autoglym stuff,

i use their shampoo then polish like and it is very easy to apply and take off and very quick aswell!

They do do an extra top coat polish that you put on and leave for 20 mins and take off, cant remember what its called its got gold label, ive got some but never got round to using it as yet as happy with the shine of the normal gloss polish!

Halfords dont stock Meguiars.
That way to avoid the white powder/residue, is to not put too much polish on in the first place.
'Use sparingly' or 'use a small amount' means exactly what it says.
Its also easier to polish off if you dont over do it.
