Autoglym

Gave the car a good clean and polish last week, used Autoglym Super Resin Polish, came up quiet well, may get some FK1000p to finish as I've heard it's great on silver, anyway washed it yesterday after having fitted a new condenser and having the front off, used Autoglym Shampoo & Conditioner, very impressed, really brought the car up well, obviously designed to work with SRP etc. will post some pictures when the sun comes out, bit cloudy here today, have we had summer, did I miss it?

Give the Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection a whirl,it gives Silver paintwork another dimension..

Better than FK1000p do you think Pab, certainly cheaper, to be honest I've been having a job making my mind up.......

As promised a picture, doesn't really do it justice but take it from me she's looking good.

Use Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection it is much better.

Ps that's a very nice shiny silver car you have there

Well done, you've done very well to get that kind of shine from silver.

FK1000P is cheaper in the long run because a tub will last you years and you can use it on side windows and your wheels. EGP is not very durable and personally i dont think it looks that great, its too 'glossy', in a fake sort of way, on Silver.

SRP is also a bit old hat. Try Prima Amigo topped with FK1000P, it will make your jaw drop!

SRP has just been reformulated (also new packaging). I personally think it's one of the best. But as with any polish you need to wax afterwards or you're just largely wasting your time.

I tired the new version, i still dont think much of it. Its still powdery, and doesnt really add anything to the paint. Amigo is much harder, more durable, fills better, is easier to use and cheaper in the long run. Anything you apply over SRP wont last to its full potential because it eventually rubs off. Amigo bonds much better allowing your wax to stay put for longer.
