Default Auto Express polish/Wax review

Anyone else seen this review. They review like 50 waxes, polishes and I think Turtle platinum one wins (they include products from Zymol, Poorboy and Meguair too) probably not all the best products but good ones

it might of been a worthwhile review if all the products were like for like.
some of the reviewed products were polishes and some were waxes, two different products.

Good grief...

I'm tempted to phone them and point a few things out, but the question is, do you think they'd listen to me?!

probably not pb,
dont think they know the difference between polish and wax ect.
but then like stickymicky said, maybe its not aimed at people who do know the difference, and is aimed at people like stickymicky who still use a sponge and fairy liquid once a month.

stickymicky type "porter cable" in the search and you might learn something.

I do rate the Meguiars Nxt Gen wax as good (obviosuly there are better) and that got a three star so the turtle one has to be ok. May try and see .... Note I usually use blackfire, poorboy, Porta (when required), etc but will see how this stacks up
