I hate autoglym!
Yesterday I polished my silver clio 197 with autoglym extra deep gloss polish and ill never use it again, it didn't go on very nice and wouldn't come off without massive amounts of effort and when it eventually did decide to part company with my paintwork it left it looking nothing more than just clean,, so today I had the bright idea to use autoglym extra gloss protection on my black impreza and to be fair it went on very nice, but just wouldn't come off, even worse than the extra deep gloss polish and what did come off like the dung I'd used on the clio left a dissapointing shine in the end I resorted to using autosmart "wax" to get the other sh*te off and the difference in the finish between the autoglym and autosmart products was like day and night, i'll never use that cr*p again.

Both cars were in the shade and washed prior to polishing so panel temp would'nt have been an issue, in work (i run a bodyshop) i also use the autosmart polishes and find autosmart platinum a fantastic polish and would run rings around any of the autoglym products i've used, having said that i've heard their HD wax is quite good and did win some in a show and shine but sold it on without using it

i find autoglmn is awesome stuff but only when used properly, you have to clay and then a couple coats of super resin polish to get the glass finish, then and only then can you use the extra top up stuff like ultra deep shine

autoglym super resin polish is by far one of the best polish's available for its price, bear in mind it is mildly abrasive as a polish should be, applied properly with a pad and removed with a microfibre you cant go wrong?? (does leave a bit of white dust)
it does not remove swirl marks though it simply masks them as it is also a filler, you will need a good rotary polisher to remove deep swirl marks
i always use super resin polish and then a decent wax to seal it such as collinite or similar

Has anyone tried showroom shine/grease lighting? any thoughts on this product? I used it a few years ago and it was ok on my old legacy but am not sure about using it on my forester.

I use autoglym stuff but only the super resin polish, I got some Autosmart polish off the lads in the valet bay at my old work it was good stuff too but I prefer the super resin. I was going to try the deep gloss but Polished Bliss said the same and directed me to poorboys Natty wax on top of the super resin for a glass finish...
