·I have tried everything going and have two big shelves full of cleaning stuff including: -
I also have a number of different car shampoos as well as interior, trim, glass, wheel, and tyre stuff, specialist brushes, finishing pads and wipes.
I must have spend over 300 quid on this lot, looking for something that is either quick and/of good! (mug punter or what!)
My conclusion is that the Meguires 3-stage system is the best, but takes over 3 hours to do, followed by washing using Meguires or Simoniz shampoo. I use Autoglym alloy wheel cleaner every now and again, then Resin sealent.
The worst stuff I've used is some mail order crap that I can't remember the name of that I saw on the telly (some shopping channel that I stumbled into whilst searching for porn, no doubt). It came in a black bottle and repells water, do you don't need to leather. It seems to be heavy on astringents, so strips any shine (and probably oxygen from your paint if used long-enough), meaning that the paint goes dull and loses its lustre.
- Autoglym Resin
Autoglym High Gloss
Meguires 3-stage (Body scrub, Pure Polish, Resin)
Meguires Gold Class
Turtlewax
Simoniz Extreme
Simoniz Rapid
Simoniz Diamond
Automagic
Colormagic
Rainex
Comma stuff
Etc., etc

·Up until today always used Autoglym (except for shampoo) but had a slight 'accident' whilst washing and scratched the paint so bought some Meguiars Scratch X, and hey, why not some Gold class liquid wax and quik clay whilst I'm at at? lol
All I can say is WOW, this stuff is fantastic. The Scratch X seems to have sorted the scratches and the clay is amazing. Even on a 5 month old car the muck it took off is amazing. Started getting cold and dark before I could do the whole car but I think am converted.
