Re: What Car wax do you use

Normally use Autoglym Super Resin polish, but I thought I would give some of that colour specific Turtlewax a go last time.

Re: What Car wax do you use

Used to use autoglym but went off that a bit, and creates to much white powder when buffing off.
The meguires range is excellent, tried both the new nxt gen wax and the gold class. The gold class is slightly harder to work with but the results are well worth it. Deep gloss shine that really lasts!
My dad uses the williams F1 polish and likes that alot.

Re: What Car wax do you use

I used to swear by Autoglym for years until I was kindly donated a collection of "Swissol" products by the previous owner of my TT.

http://www.swizol.com/E/GB/Home.htm

They're not cheap, but everything is hand-made in Switzerland. Their stuff all smells so good you could eat it, comes off without ANY chalky-dust, doesn't leave swirls and is designed to protect the paint rather than continually cut it back to achieve shine.

You get the idea:

Re: What Car wax do you use

I used to be an Autoglym devotee until I tried Meguiars. The only thing I don't like about the Autoglym is the dust it leaves which is a pain if you have a dark coloured car especially. The Meguairs is slightly harder to buff off but not that much and leaves no dusty residue. Nice gloss. I use the Meguairs NXT "tech wax" as well as the Quick Clay. Shiny
