Auto Glym or Mer is supposed to be good stuff.

Every Monday night i've been doing mine. Done it four times now since i got it, wash and wax. This week i'm going to wash it and polish it. Anyone got any ideas what polish is best to use? Used T-Cut once or twice to get rid of a few scratches but this is meant to take a layer of paint off???

I only wash my car when it needs it. Could be twice a week sometimes, could be once a month other times.
But I try to do a full complete clean, polish, back to black, hoover, etc. at least once every month.

I use Turtle Wax and Auto Glym stuff...
Turtle Wax wash & wax car shampoo, alloy wheel cleaner and foaming tyre cleaner
Auto Glym super resin polish, extra gloss protection, glass polish and bumper care.

do it alot more in the summer, hardly bother in the winter cos it only gets dirty after 10 mins anyway, hose it off everyday if there is salt on the roads though.

how often do you do it? personally i never wash it at a car wash unless my mates are doing it as well. usually its just once a week when i go to my grans house where she has a huge driveway :P

usually one week just a quicky with soapy water and a hose, then the next week proper all over waxing :cool: but... what wax is the best to use? my mate swears by auto glym, imma go to halfords soon so tell me what to get :thumbs:
