Just like to hear your opinions on which one you think is best??
I have been using the Auto Glym range, but think i might give the Meguires stuff a try next.
What does every one else use?

Me and me dad used to use auto glym me dad used to swear by it until we heard of zymol, now this stuff really is the sh!t to do your car propperly u get this stuff thats like chewy and spray something like shampoo out of a spray bottle just for lubrication and it takes all the sh!t out of the paint you can feel it all when you rub it and then its really slidy when ur done. Then u put this brown liquid on quite expensive but it lasts for bloody ages it smells like Baileys and it brings up a shine. Then u put the wax on 40 quid for mine I think you can buy all different types believe it or not the kits you can buy can run into thousands. The wax I have is blue lasts forever brings up the best shine ever imagined and lasts for a year I put mine on last March its been on its still as shiny as hell and its still beeding the water you would think I was an agent or something wouldnt you how much I have wrote anyway if u fancy it there website is something like www.zymol.co.uk

Yes Zymol is the best off the shelf product in the world. Next is Meguiars, very very good stuff, but for value for money Autoglym is very good indeed. If you wana spend loads, get Zymol!

Aye, just had a wee look at some of their products mate, looked at some of their cheaper stuff. What kit is it you have, i dont really want to spend loads of money on polish but i wouldnt mind paying extra for something if it was worth it.
Dunno about thousands though 
I seen some of their cheaper starter kits at £90! Dunno if i would pay this personally, unless it lasted for ages?
What would you recommend?

I really dont know what it is mate if u wanted it you would have to ring me dad has a number somewhere. What you do is u was the whole car and then you spray the lubricant on and you rub the paint with this yellow chewy stuff I really cant explain what it is and it takes all the crap out of the paint it is quite unreal how much crap it gets out once done you wash it and dry it and then wax it, it can be a long process which is why I used to do it in panels maybe do the front end one day near side one night rear another and so on but the result will be proud to show off yer motor mate. Apparantly if you put a few coats of the wax on the front end its almost impossible for flys to stick which is great in the summer cos they burn the paint and they are a fuck!ng niiscance

rubbing compound you are on about, this is very adrasive it should only really be used for removing overspray and blending in paint, you will make the paint very thin and eventualy wear throught it after using it a couple of times.

Right this putty stuff I am going on about is 10 quid if you ring up you will be able to order it that way instead of the net probably give you some good advice 2. You only need to ever use this once on the paint and it will not harm your car at all its as soft as shite do u seriously think they are going to sell kits that run into thousands of pounds and sell something for a tenner that will harm your car no chance give it a try
