Which way round?

MessageAuthor

Being an Autoglym fan, I have always waxed first and then applied the extra gloss protection. Someone suggested I should do this the other way round, what are your thoughts? What do you find gives the best results?

I polish my car on average twice a month. I wash it then polish it with Auto Glym Ultra deep shine. My neighbours always comment on how shiny my car always looks and how the paint work stands out. I do not see my car like a concors show car, but do look after it in the cleaning department. V70Driver

If you're using Autoglym then use the Super Resin Polish (if that's what you meant by wax) followed by the Extra Gloss Protection.

Having been a keen polisher of my previous cars, I am eager to get the cloths out when my new V50 arrives. However I have decided to move away from Autoglym. Our work aircraft have been coated with a product called Airglaze. This gives a high gloss look with the protection to match. On a used vehicle it should last for 3 years or more and 5 years + on a new vehicle. The coating can be applied to alloys too. The only cleaning requirements are fresh clean water applied with a sponge or pressure wash, simply blowing the dirt & grime from the slippery paintwork. For used cars the paintwork would need prior deep cleansing as once the glaze is applied all marks, stains, scratches etc will be locked in. The websites are (Aircraft) (Cars) I have no association with them, I just love the product.

I’m showing my age when I said waxing! What I meant was super resin polish. I was introduced recently to McGuire’s detailing clay, and must admit was very impressed with glass type finish this achieved. I have tried Autoglym’s Aqua Wax and for that just polished look in a fraction of the time it is first class. What are your recommendations?
