Has anyone else noticed there seems to be faises, started off with autogylm, it was the wax to get nothing better, then people started talking about meguairs which i always have and always will say is the best wax for its rrp price. now all im hearing is zymol wax this zymol wax that,

its like a big bandwagon that changes every couple of months and everyone jumps on it

rant over

why though, find a wax that works and stick with it, harlf of them look exactly the same finish,

i tried autoglym was very gud, but wasnt that happy with how it came off, tried meguairs, and i love it, thats it i have no erge to try others, i can just see it now, everyone buyin zymol wax and raving about it for next months then it will be another one, baffles me

i use both autoglym and meguiars..

the super resin polish does get rid of wirl marks quite well i think.. obviously not aswell as a PC would. but its ok for hand use.

john, yesterday i spent 2 hours cleaning, polishing and waxing your old car. and fuck me did it shine nice. !!

all the wheels aswell.. they were like mirrors.

ill see if i can get some pics for you.

turtle wax platinum for me, the best ive used for budget price stuff.

i have used meguiars and auto glym before but didnt think they were as good,
they didnt rub off aswell or last nowhere near as long as the turtle wax platinum
