Car Cleaning

    Can anyone recommend a good product for protecting the paintwork on the car to use post cleaning.

    I use Auto Glyn shampoo which works well, but not sure if I should be using a wax after it, maybe every couple of months or so. There are so many products out there - anyone any recommendations ?

    depending on how old the car is, i give it the once over with autoglym paint renovator then a coat of autoglym super resin polish.

    Autoglym is average enough, there are far better products available. The problem with autoglym is the protection does not last very long, a couple of weeks at most.

    For durability I would recommend collinite waxes, 476s paste wax or insulator liquid wax.

    Try Dodo Juice's Need for Speed. Its a polish&wax in one and does a great job too. Very easy and quick to apply and you will be happy with the results. Great if you're not interested in spending too long on the car. Gives a far better shine than I ever got using AutoGlym SRP.

    You'll get it from http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/
