speed_freak 0 Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Tbh mate i would have gone for the full meguiars pakage including the polish instead of autoglym i use to swear by autoglym until i started using meguiars the car as never looked as shiney as it does now Link to post Share on other sites
Buzzark 0 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Yes, the AutoGlym SRP isn't really a polish as such - it's a cleaner polish so part very, very mild polish but mostly last stage product like the Megs tech wax. (Yes it's always been mis-leading)If you want a polish stage, take it back and swap it for a normal polish (even a mild one) then put the tech wax on after that. Link to post Share on other sites
kalv 0 Posted March 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 It took me 3.5 hours this morning.. this is after a wash using AutoGlym car shampoo:then got the clay out and gave it a good run - enough cr4p came of the motor and it left it nice and smooth..Then applied the resin - like u said didn't really do that much but I went ahead with it was shiney... the meguiars nxt stuff really made it look deep. The polish went on smooth and was easier to remove after it had been clayed..Pics don't do it justice.. so take a closer look tomorrow if your around at UD.Moderator edit by: Antera309 Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 looks nice mate, Meguiars is the only stuff i use, really is good polish for the money, only other stuff i ever use is Autosmart Cannuba wax which is superb, but hard to get hold of unless your a trader Link to post Share on other sites

franchise 1 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Nice ride this Kalv, love the headlamps and nice to see another guy rocking the VW grill badges instead of the badgeless grill. Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Just resized the pics for ya.I really rate Autoglym SRP. Buzzark is correct that it's actual polishing properties are limited - it's more of a glaze, but on paintwork that is in pretty good condition anyway, it produces a great shine with very little effort.
