So what do you use? Ive always used autoglym products and for paint work super resin polish and then the extra gloss protection.
Im seeing more waxes beeing advertised so whats the score with the waxes, do you use this rather than polish or along with it?
Wax goes on after the polish - cut, polish, wax.
I use Meguiars stuff.
Looked at meguiars stuff but theres so many diffrent types didnt know where to start. lol
lol I just use the three stage cut polish and wax (comes in three red bottles), and get good results, although thats on a black car. In fact, here is a pic of my rear bumper once its had the megs treatment

That looks fantastic mate.
i have maguires and autoglym, nbth are excellent products.
im gonna have my car detailed soon, check out muddydetail.co.uk he is amazing and has some top products for cleaning and drying etc
check it out
Looks aewsome Razorjack
Used autoglym deep shine last time I did my car, came out fantastic on my mates so I nabbed the bottle to do mine with lol But didn't seem to come out quite as well on mine (flame red), have some megs stuff too so i'll probably try that next.
Tried pretty much everything off the shelf nothing pro yet but Megs has always done it for me.
I might treat myself one day to some Swizol products. Or if i win the lotto some Zymol Royale at £7k a pot.
i just use autoglym as that what we sell at work. im really pleased with it though, i cant use the more expensive stuff as i polish my car around 3 times a week lol
some ****e from auto smart paid £15 for a 25ltr drum lol
There are some great products at http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/
Personally I think the standard Autoglym resin polish is great on white cars, I used the Ultra Deep Shine on my Black Vectra and it was amazing!! The extra gloss protection gives a nice wet look and seals the shine well. For a finisher use some AG High Def Wax...

Dec
Your right there is too much stuff to choose from! I have been converted to Meguiars though as I can't find anything else that comes close to the finish. The NXT tech is a good starting place but If you need help deciding they have a decent forum on their website.Quote:

Then more you apply, the more silicon and wax you'll build up, hence more protection and shine
