Autoglym high def wax, Is this new or what??

[Jamesstone]

Hi guys, just been browseing the net for re-stock of goodies for the summer:approve: & came across this new stuff from autoglym around the £30 mark which is a so called super wax:S , any one on here ever used it? looks pretty good & with autoglym rep for price/quality i might give it a go as you get a MF & a few other bits in a fancy little box

I think this is the one I got recommended today...By Brand86. sure he will be along sometime to confirm.

 

[The Big Yin]

Yes it is new launched this month Not heard anything outstanding about it and durability is too soon to tell , many other waxes out there for similar money with a track record - Dodo , Victoria , Swisswax Onyx aswell as collinite and Megs#16

 

[Rich]

I am going to grab a pot when I get round to it.

 

[Jamesstone]

Might grab a pot my self & see how it comes out then, just wish this weather would sort its self out, this time last year i was havin bbq's lol

 

[ROSS18]

It cant be that bad AG is a good brand.

 

[planetx]

I will wait for a full detailed report from Rich before spending.

I mean can it really be any better than the combo I now use.....AG SRP + AG EGP + Collinite 476 + P21s????

spending for spending sake!!!

The above is rock solid and great looking.

Individual waxes have such subtle nuances in looks anyway.

 

[Reyes]

Ooo where did you see this.. link?

[planetx]

It was only from your advice I now use that stuff Rich....lick lick.

of all P21 is sex to apply and even better to take off...

Sure the detalingworld lads will slate this stuff....as it doesn't cost the same as Royal glaze or vintage !!!

 

[Reyes]

...MINE

 

[Rich]

LOL the DW lot hated it before it came out.

The new Dodo though was the most durable wax ever before anyone had even used it !

P21s is so nice to use and looks so good, if only stand alone alone it lasted !

 

[planetx]

Just out of curiosity Rich have you ever tried to melt 2 brands together to make a "SUPER" wax.....so perhaps P21 + 476...melted them let them set and apply????
Do you think it work

 

[Rich]

Others have, not something I would do, Would rather just do a layer of each !

 

[planetx]

hmmm might get my science coat and goggles on when I get back home from my hols...

 

[DrR]

So anyone used it yet, i'm going to order some goodies tonight

whats the point of putting p21s over the Collinite 476

 

[Gaz_]

The new DODO is a waste of money.

P21s will add to the finish IMO, it is a nicer looking wax.

 

[DrR]

would you use P21s over the 476? How often would i need to reaply it?

 

[MRBILLYUK]

I got some AG high def wax a week or 2 ago but haven't had chance to try it yet , no time , weather etc.... playing a big part . It looks and smells very similar to Collinite 476 imo . Hopefully i'll be able to try it within the next week , i want to compare it with my new Collinite 885 and 925 boat wax .

 

[Rich]

If you already have EGP on it I may be tempted to put one coat of 476 and then use the P21s after the first wash.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

I used the AG high def wax for the first time today . I also used my new Collinite #925 boatwax and #885 fleetwax .

Over all impressions . Both the Collinites were easier to apply and remove especially the #925 . Looks wise , there isn't any difference between the 3 . Durablity , time will tell . But i expect the Collinites to outlast the Autoglym .

Out of all 3 , which one would i recommend ? For ease of use , price ..... i'd go for the Collinite #925 boat wax everytime , closely followed by the Collinite #885 fleetwax and bringing up the rear the AG high def wax .

 

[Rich]

Is it hard to use or just harder than the Collinites ?

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Tbh with ya Rich . When i first opened them i thought they " might " have been rebadged #476 and #845 but for the boat industry . But after using them i don't think they are . Obviously the #925 was going to be the easiest to apply with it being a liquid wax , it's probably the fastest i've waxed a car it was that easy . The #925 was easier to apply / remove than the #476 . So all in all i would recommend them both over the #476 .

As for the AG high def wax . It's nothing special if i'm being honest , it's easyish on easyish off .

 

[Rich]

Cheers - I have so many Carnubas, to be honest as much as I like AG stuff, I may just give it a miss.

 

[The Big Yin]

Look forward to the beading pics in a couple of months of the new coolies might have to order some myself now. How quickly did they come ? My last lot took 5 days from him from the US

 

[MRBILLYUK]

It took about a week i think to arrive . Cheap as chips from the US , even with p+p Add some to your list now , you know you want to

It was pointless taking pics just asfter i waxed it , as soon as i can get some beading pics i'll stick some on here .

 

[Brand86]

Wasthe finish any better than 476 or just easier to apply? 476 is still one of my favourite products, use it on glass, wheels, some rubber trims and underneath a soft wax...will definitely get some of this new stuff it its even better, was looking at the "Marque D'elegance" or Dodo Juice Blue Velvet otherwise.

 

[Rich]

I would not bother with the Blue Velvet TBH.

 

[Brand86]

Ah fair play...did you try a larger pot in the end then, remember you tried the sample pot and didn't rate it that much?

476 is an absolute bargain for the money I think, the pot lasts ages too!

 

[Rich]

No - but judging what the hard wax in the double wax is like - I would say no, stick to the Collinite or Megs #16 and top with Swissvax.

I have decided no more Carnubas for me, nothing comes close to what I have so I am going to save my beans for other tings.

 

[Brand86]

Yeah the 476s/Onyx combo is amazing, although last time I had about 3 types of sealants underneath so hard to tell what was doing what.

Right now I have just got SRP which I applied by machine, a layer of CG Body Blitz and straight to the Onyx, but I think the 476 added to the gloss even though the flake is clearer. Was going to order some Megs 16 last night as my dad wanted some Gliptone leather stuff for his car but managed to resist...

 

[Tay]

Rich have you ever thought of selling off some of your vast range of products you no longer use to us mear mortals ?

 

[Rich]

There is very little in it that I don't use at all - I tend to use up what I can on the daily drive.

 

[Tay]

Ah fair enough thought we all might be in for some bargin basement deals haha!

Finish was just the same as the 476 with both . If you like the 476 you'll love the 885 fleetwax , about half the price and twice the size of tin
