Zymol is the best money can buy, megs and autoglym are pretty much sub standard.
poorboys, dodo juice or swissol are probably the best amatuer stuff.

Pardon?!  Dodo Juice and Swissvax aren't exactly "amateur" products!! Zymol isn't always the best you can buy either just because of the price tag.

Thats a bit vague and not entirely true. Its more about using the correct product at the right time.

not really, autoglym and megs dont make carnuba paste wax. carnuba wax is the best for paint protection period, anyone who doesnt make it in my eyes isnt serious about paint conditioning.
some of zymols lotions arent the best in the business, but the wax's are.
stuff like megs and autoglym is just like cheap makeup, looks ok on a night out but as soon as it gets wet and you wake up in the morning all the imperfections stick out like a sore thumb.
if your serious about car cleaning visit monza car cares website.

Megs make some brilliant products for correction work though if using a machine. Its not all about the last stage product.

theres all sorts of great products out there, which some people will like more than others.
personally i have only used megs stuff & auto glym which i prefer
this is mine freshly cleaned with a bucket of water & simoniz car shampoo then waxed using autoglym HD wax
im no pro detailer so im not saying its the best but it suits my needs & is a doddle to clean

Couldn't have put it better myself Dan Megs professional / bodyshop range is bloody good for the money.
Admittedly, their halfords range isn't all that, neither is Zymol's though which I believe is actually rebranded Turtle Wax
Cleaning isn't all about LSP!

Thats a real sweeping statement, I used to work for the wax company that supplied the wax to zymol and the MD actually said the quality was pretty average.
Also if people dont agree with detailing/paint correction/protection then whats the point of mocking people who do care and actually know what they are talking about.
Always the same bollocks about bucket sponge and fiary liquid.
