Auto Glym is one of the best brands on the market IMO.

Personally i use whatever my dad has lying around the house at the time. last time i used one called turtle polish or something which was designed for silver paintwork. Actually came up pretty good.

Auto Glym is the best stuff. But however i have heard that Meguiars have some great products too

Auto glym is not the best stuff :lol:

In terms of retail level, definitely high end and one of the best. But for concourse level detailing etc or even for weekend warriors, better stuff exists if you shop around.

ive been using auto glym super resin polish followed up by auto glym exyra gloss protection. Ive tried the new Kitten ice...its seemed a bit light weight good cos you dont have to worry about getting on rubber or plastic,its clear and recommended to use on rubber etc.
