Hd wax is ok, its hard wearing but others get a better, wet look finish.
Made me laugh at bingley last year, went to the ag stand and asked how much the hd wax was, was twice the price you can get it for online, over £40 if I recall. :lol:


:thumbsup:

good to hear it pal, well done.
is that the expensive polish?


yeah, it depends which one you get but its all a bit more expensive than most polishes.............it is good quality stuff though, some people prefer meguiars but thats all that meguiars do..............polishes and dressings.......what happens if you need to clean the interior??............meguiars do not do any form of cleaners......just dressings and meguiars are not recommended by bentley, aston martin, land rover etc either!!


meguiars actually do allot more products than you think... the do all sorts of cleaners,, interior cleaners, dash cleaners, air freshening sprays much like Auto Glym

http://www.meguiars....Cleaner/<br /> see thats a cleaner,....

ta

P.S please research next time ;)

I stand corrected, meguiars do 1 interior cleaner, autoglym do 3 (depending on application) does the meguiars interior cleaner have a bio action within it's cleaner, it does not say on the website.

As for meguiars ultimate wash & wax...... Well it is a physical imposibility to combine a car wash solution and a waxing agent in the same product and at £15.99 for what is basically 1.5ltrs it is a complete rip off too, all they have done is put a bit of rinse aid in with normal car shampoo and charged a fortune for the privelage!

I would never use anything that you can buy off the shelf either, the stuff that is available to the trade is much better and it works out cheaper too as you can buy it in 25ltrs.
