Always used Autoglym plus the Autoglym gold "super gloss finish"....

That was until one of the SN types valleted it for me with Swissol when I sold it (go see http://www.pro-valeting.co.uk), made the Autoglym look like I'd been polishing it with a damp rag The Swissol shine was just unbelievable. And I'd always though the Autoglym was good, but not by comparison. When I get the next scooby (eventually) it will get done with Swissol.

It costs considerably more then the Autoglym though so for general use on the wife's car, I'll still keep using the Autoglym.

PS only foung the Autoglym to go dusty when getting old, especailly the glass polish.

I have just started using Swissol and although it is more expensive after the initial outlay the kit you get will last for ages. And it is an amazing product brings my black WRX up like I have never seen before and believe me black ain't an easy colour to clean

Swissol is the best thing I have used, Previously tried Mer - which was good but apparently a bit abrasive
I had swirl marks all over the car - sent it back to the garage and they didn't seem to be able to do anything about it (hmmmm). Used the cleaner fluid and then teh Samauri wax - I couldn't believe it. Would never use anything else.

If you are going to try to wind someone up get it right !

I think that the name you are looking for is MEGUIARS !

Meguires stage 2 and 3, thats the polish then the carnauba wax. I have tried them all from autoglym in the 1980's when it first landed on these shores to zymol. Meguires is THE best believe me.

I thought detailling the car was all about perfection

At least Swissol is easy to spell unlike Meguiars or Meguires or what ever you want to call it lol

The quick clay kit is awesome. Its like a big block of white blu tack, you spray on the detailing spray then rub over with the "clay bar" (looks like a big chunk of blu tack to me) then rub that all over lubricating it with the spray. It really does shift all the crap and leave the paint as smooth as a shaven fanny. Brilliant.
