Would like people opinions please

What polish do you think is the best and gives the best damndest shine you ever saw?!?!

I have tried quite a few:

Autoglym Resin Polish
AutoGlym Extra Gloss Protection
Turtlewax
Zymol cleaning wax

So far I've found the Zymol to be the best, What do other poeple think?

EK

Edited to say I zymolled by car on sunday, got it looking damn nice, only for it to p!ss it down yesterday and it now looks like I've been on a rally course! Typical british weather!

I like the Autoglym Resin Polish and AutoGlym Extra Gloss Protection.

But I don't think it lasts that long if the car is parked outside all the time. And you need to get the tar and bugs off before you use it.

For outdoors I like to use Mer, which gets off the bugs 'n tar and lasts longer. But it gives alot of dust

MaxPower Resin polish.
Serious, my girl bought me some as a joke a couple or so years ago and it was the finest polish I'd ever used. Not sen it around for a while but would love to get some more.

Autoglym super resin is good for non-metallic colours but hard work to apply. My old man swears by Mer but I've read some bad things about it, can't remember what though

I used to like Liquid Diamond, it was more a sealant than a polish but it left the paint smoooooooth and one application lasted easily 6 months. Haven't seen any for years tho ...

No-one ever listens, but I use Simoniz Original. £5 a tin, 6-8 full do's per tin, shine last 4-6 months (i do it every 3 'cos I'm fanatical). I was at a meet a few weeks back and one of the Scoob owners had just Zymol'd his car for £150 and it looked no better than mine.

I use Meguiars Gold Class Wax, and it is pretty damn good, I used to use Autoglym, but this stuff is much better, and is only 12.99

I used the clay bar too, which was 11.99 with the quick detailer spray

Swissol or Zymol. Nothing else touches these.
