Hi marrsbar

Maybe thats a thumbs up for Autoglym over Meguires?? I had only waxed the car a fortnight earlier and its washed every weekend. I was just surprised how hard the tree sap had set on the paintwork so normal washing wouldn't remove it hence the Meths which did the job! Just a pain at the end of the day. Maybe I might try a few coats of Autoglym extra gloss and compare results at keeping contaminants at bay!

Cheers
