What products do people use for washing, polishing and waxing their cars? I usually use, Megs Gold Class Shampoo, then Megs Gold Class Polish followed by Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection. I've nearly run out of Gold Class stuff and fancy trying something different. What products do you use and in what order?

I use this on my Astra Coupe by the way, and I am happy with the results, just interested to see if it could be better.

autoglym super resin polish has always done a good job for me, followed by autoglym extra gloss protection.

I used to use Super Resin but got fed up of chasing the dust all over the car, although I was fairly happy with the results.

Is there still a lot of dust with the Super Resin or has it improved?

Anybody used Poorboys or P21s stuff?

have seen u rave about this in the past mav... used some but it was a bugger to take off and didn't get it

Whats the deal? do you just put it on and leave for 30 mins then buff off? Mine wouldn't buff off with the perfect polishing cloths i had to use the high tec cloth (red one)

i hate the high teck cloth, best way ive found of using the extra gloss is apply it very thinly with a damp perfect polish cloth, removes much easier then

deep shine is good for dark cars aswell

maybe it was a bit too sunny.... i managed to get it off with the high tec cloth and it was but by god was it a pig! the perfect polishing cudnt touch it tho

Only done it once, i'll try it again and hopefully get better results...

(bought a clay bar the other day to )

p.s. jr the deep shine is amazin i know but i always experiment with everything

Clay bars are great if you want to put lovely swirls all over your car.
