I find AutoGlym to be very good and easy to apply, the polish can be a little dusty, but that's not a big deal. It doesn't cost the earth too! I didn't get on with meguiars polish, but the clay bar is very good.

Wash the wifes Black 05 STi all the time & never had to wax it yet, just a wash (autoglym) and a quick s/leather off.... sorted and shines like a mirror

'I used Gold Class Shampoo and condistioner, Quick Clay Detailing System, Gold Class Clear cold wax, and Hot Shine Tyre spray. I also used the
Meguiars Gold Class Super Thick Microfibre Wash Mit to was the car with plus a normal car spunge (for the grubby door bits) and a Water Magnet Drying Towel'

I`ve tried AutoGlym and Swissol both with great results. I then tried Meguiars 3 Step Deep Crystal System and found it very easy to work with, again with great results. I try to clean/wax the car twice a month so I`m happy to stick with the Meguiars. If you like to keep your car clean with minimum effort I would stick with Meguiars. If you want to detail your car check out Polished Bliss.

I use SWISSOL on my Black STi.

Fantastic results. Expensive though. Personally I am very happy with the results and the finish I get justifies the cost in my opinion.
