Went and finally cleaned my car this afternoon when I got home from work. I used Meguiar's Quik Clay System, and AutoGlym Super Resin Polish.

Found the Quik Clay to be the best thing I've bought for it so far! Made my paintwork sooooooo smooth, it's like Ronseal! Does exactly what it says on the tin!!!

Going to go and buy all the Meguiar's stuff I need as soon as I've been paid next week!!!

But...

I found the AutoGlym Super Resin Polish quite poor, didn't make the car shine any more at all, it still looked like I had just finished using the Quik Clay, but as I got it cheap through work I thought I might as well give it a go. Used the AutoGlym Perfect Polishing Cloth like it said on the back of the bottle, the cloth absorbed most of the polish!!!

So I think I'll stick with the Meguiar's line of products and cleaning accessories.

If it's a bit off topic sorry lol.

Glad to hear that you found the claying good m8! I'm wary of it myself - mainly because I fecked up my initial use of it on half of the bonnet, so I've kept it way from my car since then.

AG stuff is ok, I've found, but I know that nothing can rescue the general crapiness of my car's paint-work other than a full blown (and professional) PC session. I'd like to risk doing a PC session myself, but if I got something as basic as claying wrong in the frist instance, I don't hold out much hope for a PC!

i find the meguires stuff wax wise , if u apply it once u get a really nice finish, and u can tell its been done

the autoglym i use as a quick go , if i dont have much time , if u use it once a week or more u start to notice it , only other alternative is to use a few layers of it

That was my first go with the Quik Clay, and I just followed the instructions in the pack to the letter, and my bodywork is now as smooth as it was when it left the showroom 13 years ago!! I don't think I'll be using AutoGlym again, I went to www.meguiars.co.uk and priced up everything I wanted and it came to £150 buy at the end of the day I'll be paying for the quality, I understand that concept especially as I work for a Harley-Davidson dealer.

before you splash the cash read a few threads on here theres a lot better stuff out than megs

If you work for Harley Davidon grab some of the S!00 paint Cleanser and S100 Carnuba Wax ( Same products as P21s) much better than than some of the Megs stuff. As Hotshot says there is much better than Megs for the money.

AG SRP - apply with a foam hand pad and remove with a microfiber cloth.
What colours the car as you said it didnt look any shiner? Bear in mind SRP is a very mild polish/paint cleaner, your car may need a deeper polish before the Super Resin.

S100 is not available through Harley-Davidson anymore, they basically had a fallout with them and stopped supplying it. It is good stuff but I find it's a bit expensive. We are going to stock Meg's soon anyway so I'll be using at as I will also get it cheap.
