Default Has anyone tried the 'Autoglym HD Wax'?

As a few know the Pug is dead until I can get her to a garage to diagnose the problem, so she's been sat on the drive for 2 days freshly washed, with a coat of polish for shine.

But me and the Mrs are going to pop down to Lakeside where she can get pet supplies and I will look in Halfrauds. Thinking of getting some of the newish Autoglym High Definition Wax thats all. About £40 but includes applicators etc in the pack.

Anyone have experience of using this stuff? Its proper wax in a tub etc, not spray or gel etc. Was just gonna dust the Pug down gently then apply some if I buy it.

this is the car as is on the drive...

Hoping it would come up well. Also, whats the best way to apply this stuff? As I have my hands and nothing more, i.e. no machine polishers.

Bit late now, I ordered some off ebay earlier.


always found Autoglym products easy to use. Besides I got it off ebay for £25 where as Hlafords would have wanted £40 for it if they even stocked it

Think I'll save the best for when I'm eventually back into scoob ownership.

Will probably punt for the Blackfire range then, as I yearn for gloss finishes

Blackfire wd works well on black cars, as does the collinite 915 for winter.

i use HD wax on my wagon,the longer you leave it on to cure before you buff it off the better it works,like some say theres better stuff about but i detail cars every day so everything i use is auto glym as the products are more cost effective than most.
You wont be dissapointed its a nice wax & lasts wash after wash & still leaves a smooth finish.
