There was another thread on polish recently.. but as the search facility has been disabled, I can't find it for you...

Macguires and Autoglym were mentioned, IIRC...

I'd go with that. Doesn't leave dry powdery wax over your car like Turtle Wax and Autoglym.

Mer shampoo always makes my car look like it's been polished, even though I've only just washed it using the shampoo alone, bloody good stuff on a black or dark colour car, especially if you're in a bit of a hurry

.

I dont rate Auto Glym products at all.

A lot of the other stuff is too over priced aswell.

A magazine did a test on various polishes & waxes. Turtle Wax Gloss Guard came out on top & it performed best in terms of price, ease of use, & how long the protection lasted. It was also up against some of the big exspensive brands.
So I went & bought a bottle, I was very impressed.
