Im more thank happy with the Zymol Titanium wax I purchased. Pictures of the car after the full treatment here: http://www.leemather.plus.com/images/RSClio182/01.08.04/index.htmlLink Id not want to polish a new car, a good coat of wax is whats called for.
ive always used the auto glym range and never had problems, i know alot of peeps on here dont like it though
I use supaguard at the moment as we had it done when we bought it, but we will not be buying any further products. I normally spend 4 - 5 hours on Sunday cleaning her, Mate uses Autoglym and it seems to be good stuff and he has never had any problems with it, but i have heard good thing about Meguiars that is why i will buying alot of there stuff to clean the car in future.
every now and then i give it a coat of supagrd that came with it and tbh i cant fault that either
I cannot fault the Supaguard, the leather cleaning kit is quite good, the amount of dirt that it brings up is very good.
Just wanting something that will give it that mirror finish, there is nothing better than seeing a car just cleaned, shinning in the sunlight.
The only thing is cleaning the poxy alloys, i use this alloy cleaner i have forgotten the name of it just applicate it using the brush and it shifts anything, however i have been told that i maybe removing the laquer, Do you have any ideas on what to use?
where do you get this zymol titanium wax from lee and j182, if its as good as you reackon i might give it ago. also how much is it?

Yes the finish from autoglym is very good but the polish is abrasive
not if u use the extra gloss protection.. it even states its none abrasive
the super resin polish is tho, but the very abrasive autoglym is the paint revinator/restorer (cant rememebr the exact name now)
I got mine from http://www.vertar.comwww.vertar.com Phil often gives a small discount to Cliosport members too. I think I paid about £128 for the starter kit and a nice new sponge.
£128 !! bloody hell is it made of gold?
seriously though thats alot of money for polish though in one go, does iy go along way because it needs to for thay price.
i have treyd loads of cleaners for me alloys but ya know what i have found that works the best is the autoglym body shampoo with a sponge seems to clean them better than the alloy cleaners and the dust stays of them for longer as well. give it a go you wont be disapointed. plus when ever i use these proper cleaners when ever i get it on the tyre i always have to clean the tyres after as well but with the shampoo i have never had tyo just rinse of the excess and their done.

The best stuff I have used so far is Diamond Brite, real nice finnish and its been 2 weeks now washed the car once with plain water and it still looks as good as the day I done it.

Oh and before anyone says Im not plugging my listing it there if you want it
that looks sweet mike
dont forget guys there is another wax and polish which will give you great results and you can use all year round where you can only use zymol in the summer when its warm .zymol will not cure when it is cold so think about that when you buy zymol you can only use it during summer .and in england that does not last for long lol.you should check out MOTHERS.i can show you cars done with mothers which will amaze you of the effect you can get with this product and it lasts aswell.yes i do have a intrest in the mothers products as im a mothers detailer i use to be a zymol detailer but moved over to using the mothers range due to the effect that i can get and how good all the products work.i earn my living by detailing clients cars i have to have the best products .im not like any other valeting company who buy there products with who can supply the cheapest polish i will only buy the best .i expect it to perform at the highest level.and this month i had a win with a clients car in the Merc Benz national concours event held in Chatham dockyard.

i use a mixture of the autoglym stuff a local bloke mixes me up a amount of wax and polish in one bottle and it works a treat. will post some pics in the morning. for £10 it has done my car 3 times and still works well nice. bottle is 2/3rds full still. 500ml coke bottle full. will still get some zymol when i can afford it but the auto glym mix works well good for now. no complaints.

its not just the product you use that can just cause swirl marks bad detailing and washing of the car can cause swirl marks in to the paint work.
Malice you should try MOTHERS couple of weeks ago i had one of my clients cars win a national merc benz concours event .the car had been detailed using Mothers.
james depends on where you are in the country .there are a few independent stores out there stocking mothers or go via the internet to http://www.motherswax.co.ukwww.motherswax.co.uk and speak to richard at crystal clean.
