auto glym any day of the week

 

I have used both and it would be Meguiars for me any day of the week, with the exception of the autoglym 'bodyshop range' bumper gel, which is great stuff.

 

I dont particularly like either.

Auto Glym is too expensive (20bucks for a (small) bottle of car polish

, come on!)
And Meguires which I really liked before gave the GTi a faded shine after 4-5 polishes! Kinda blame it for taking that just resprayed look away from the Mk2 too fast.

Im no expert though so... make of it what you will.

 

i have the auto glyn ultra deep shine and the meguires gold class polish the 2 of them sitten up for a month a quick shake of each the deep shines back to normal but the gold class turned to greasy sh!te but the meguires wax it wet is classic but auto glym dont have a wet wax so cant compair them

 

Autoglym polish is pants, I'm with Geo on their bumper gel though.

They are both still not the real deal, for me that swissol, hmmmm smells lovely

 

AutoGlym & Meguiar's are old-school type products. Both companies have sat on their laurels a bit and now have been surpassed by other (American & German) manufacturers. Finish Kare, Zaino, Chemical Guys, Menzerna, Car-Lack, Einszett to name but a few.

But until the Irish public & motor trade are discriminating enough to know better ... only low quality (cheap) consumer products will remain on sale in the shops.

 

Max Wax all the way

 

its meguires for me,
i used to use autoglym untill i tried meguires and never looked
back since except for their bumber gel

 

I have a bottle of mothers from Trevm and its good gear.

You should try Finish Kare ... They move the benchmark much further.

 

The meguiars 3-step thingy worked great for me. I used a klay bar, (sp?) first and was amazed at how well it worked.

Must admit the autoglym bumper care stuff is excellent too.

Isn't the swissol stuff the one where you massage it into the paintowrk with your bare hands, or is that the other mad expensive Zymol thing ?
I think I saw some special Zymol stuff for sale at £400 sterling for a tub ! Madness.

 

Meguiars is the one

 

@DLB where can one get these products that you mentioned?

 

You can buy the Auto-glym directly form the Wholesalers - works out a hell of alot cheaper

35e for 5litres as opposed to 10-13e for 500ml!

Meguiars is great & expensive, you get what you pay for!

Geo, Even though you are the moderator, I will send you a private message ... So I cannot be accused of spamming or such like ... You can then post the details yourself, if you deem them appropriate.

 

No worries.

Meguiars is not that much more if you buy direct like I do to be honest

 

You're in the position to that GS, you could make a few quid for yourself & supply the stuff to some of the forum members at that trade price!
