Question

For those who do, which car wax do you use? Currently use Autoglym Super Resin which is easy to use/apply and leaves great shine but leaves white spots in the stone chips.

Grateful for your thoughts....

Look in members gallery under Swissol Pretenders.

It rained today and the water just bobbles on the paintwork and rolls away, as if off a ducks back. Truly awesome.

I always go for Turtle Wax Gloss Guard - always gets a good review from Autoexpress as well. Leaves a good finish which lasts a long time.

Has anyone tried the "Autoproud" products. I bought their polish from a show last year. Easy to use without all that white poweder that the Autogylm creates. Very good results and not that pricey.

Zymol for me, word of warning though, the HD-Cleanse is pretty crap IMH, has next to no effect on even tiny tar spots.

I still can't help thinking all this expensive wash and wax stuff is a complete con though, how the heck can natural products be so fricking expensive?

Reading the infomration on the wax makes you laugh, the way its got a specially designed lid to protect the wax, goes into full details on what it does when the lid shuts.....its a fricking piece of rubber strip for f**ks sake!

Nevermind, the shine on my car after spending 3/4 of a day on it was fantastic.

They are expensive cos they contain up to 60% carnauba was which is scraped off the top of a particular brazilian leaf, and then they use essential oils etc as carriers.

LoL @ Markus "Swi-soil"

Ok, so the Wax is expensive cause its hand scrapped from the top leafs from a 300ft tree, but why so expensive for the wash, pre cleanse and other such products?

The "Wash" is expensive as it has 27.94% Fromagagatil(extracted from the bark of a Redwood!) and 38.6% Lokamgda(scraped from mature Brazilian Bearded Marmoset's *********!)

The "Pre-Cleanse" is expensive as it has 71.96728443% Antlegolefty (Produced by crushing African Wood Ants 2nd left legs into a pulp!)
