Meguiars Car cleaning kit

If you want the best possible finish try this stuff it's better than Auto Glym IMHO and what a stunning shine.

What makes it better than Autoglym?

I use loads of their products and each one is really easy to use and gives a great result.

What can Meguiers do that Autoglym can't that may persuade me to change?

I've been using Auto glym for years but the deep shine from Meguiars is truly the deepest shine I have ever seen, easy to use and no residue.

lol! cheers

i was asking esser as we tend not to use stuff like meguiers over here like you said. i always assumed they were very similar products with similar results.

at the moment with our dirty damp weather the car only stays clean for 5 minutes anyway so i'm going to use up my autoglym but i may give this a try when the sunny stuff turns up around august.

ps dont tell anyone but i didnt wash PJ this weekend

Esser - didn't take you long to convert then

Ken - if you go to their website and fill in the form for their catalogue the back page has a special prescription service where you fill in details of your car, and cleaning preferences and they will tell you which products suit you best. I have only used their clear coat body scrub and vinyl natural shine so far - havn't tried out their waxes so far as i have a bottle of zymol to finish first - but will use them next. I think they may be pretty well priced against autoglym too - and online delivery was on £0.99 per item and it arrived next day.

Dingdangdoo!

Thumbs up

Wul, Hi M8 no thanks for the recommendation it's a fantastic deep shine 3 coats over the weekend this one coming I'll seal it with a second coat of wax. You need scuba kit to get to the bottom of the deep shine, LOL.

Thanks Wul, I'll check it out. My current bottle of Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection is coming to an end. I'll get their brochure and see if they have a similar product.
