Usually use Meguairs but ran out the other day and wanted to polish my car just now. Have some Autoglym lying around so thought I'd use that as it cant be as bad as I remember it being...
its crap. Did the bonnet and front wings then gave up. Come to polish it off and it takes it off but leaves greasey marks that take alot of pressure and buffing to get out. Cant see them when stood a bit away from the car but as soon as you are 2 metres away or so you can see them. Doesn't make a difference if I put a little or alot on, still get the greasey marks.
Meguiars I just put on, buff off no problem. Piece of cake. Going to buy some more Megs tomorrow cos cant be doing with Autoglym polish anymore

Autoglym is hard work... Though Meg's can dry out a little too much too, I use some quick detailer to buff polish off when it dries too much.

I use the super resin on my black corsa, no probs.
Although i do agree with matty that on the bonnet its bloody hard work to get rid of the streaks and you do get a bit of dust.

was Ultra Deep Shine. Super Resin is a little better but still hard work compared to Megs

Meg is awesome, bought the clay kit in holland, washed the car tues, clayed it wed and polished, left polish on a couple of days and taken off tonight soo much smoother and more shiney - cant beat it and after 2 days it comes off just as easy

also used AG left white dust all over, now use megs shampo, clay, and tech wax, as said earlier the polish comes off very easily, they also do a special cloth for removing it which makes it even more easier, just needs washing a lot

I used it on my mate's flip Primera, came out brilliantly Using too much or in direct light will get streaks.

Was done in the shade and the bodywork was cool to the touch and I definately didn't put too much on.
Never have to worry about the amount of Megs I put on, always comes off easily and streak free and makes it shine superbly.

Use a damp warm cloth to put it on with. Makes hell of a difference.
