Default Autoglym high definition wax?

Decided to enter my first show and shine yesterday at the Camarthen modified car show, anyways ended up with "Best in show", the prize was £40 worth of Autoglym high definition wax, as i probably wont wax the car for a month or so i was just wondering if anyones used it and what do you think of it, i've only just started using wax as oposed to liquid polish and as i'm in the motor trade my current wax is Autosmart "wax", anyone used both? if so any feedback welcome

I use it on my silver Impreza and I like it. I feel it's a very "middle-ground" wax ie. not too soft or too hard, and lasts an average amount of time before needing to be topped up (minimum 8 weeks from my experience). Reasonably priced too which is always a bonus .

Congrats on the win. I'm not a fan of the HD wax as I'd used the Dodo range before it and I much prefer them. I feel it's expensive in comparision as far as value for money goes.

Are those headlights covered? I bet the local plod doesn't like them?

Use HD on my concours car. Great results and will buy again when I've used it all.

Another fan of the Dodo juice range cant be beat for the low cost and great results. You can also get it in panel size pots at about £6.00 which if used correctly could see up to 5 applications.

When I had my 205 GTi after the Scoob I used to use Menzerna intensive polish for the hand cutting stage and the HD wax for the protectant stage. Got very good results generally even when just washing and waxing...





Will use it again when I have a car worthy of washing
