Have been trying Autoglym for the past few weeks. The products I used mostly are the following:

Washed with Autoglym shampoo conditioner.

Chemical guy mirror glaze and topped it up with Autoglym HD wax.

Rims were cleaned with Autoglym custom wheel cleaner.

After all, the result is not too bad as the HD wax is still protecting the paint.

Enjoy.

Did a 1 stage polish on a friend's 01 Lexus on a sunny day. Vehicle is severly scratched with hologram. There are also tons of debrits being embedded on the paint. The paint itself is oxidized heavily.

Car was washed with Autoglym car wash shampoo , then it was clay barred. After that, the vehicle was polished with Adam's swirl/ haze remover. Finally the vehicle was glazed with chemical guys wet mirror finish and topped up with collinte 845.

Just did another 1 stage polish on another friend's car in order to remove the oxidized paint. Since it is a daily driven vehicle, so my friend does not really need the car to be totally perfect.

The vehicle was washed with Autoglym car wash shampoo and then clay barred. After that, a 1 stage polish was performed on the entire vehicle. Once the vehicle was cleared with most of the defects, the paint was glazed and topped up wtih Autoglym HD wax / Collins 845 industrial wax.

Just curious how the rest of you guys wash/dry your bird poo microfibres?

gn02156668 07-18-2012 07:45 PM

The sun is high up in the sky and we decided to keep the detailing festival going.

The vehicle for today is a white pearl 98 Lexus GS. It has numerous road grime embedded to the vehicle's paint as it is driven daily.

The vehicle was firstly washed with autoglym car wash shampoo and then it was clay barred twice with two different grade of clays due to the grimes were "glued" to the paint.

After the car was cleared , it was then polished with Adam swirl / haze remover and then followed with chemical guys wet mirror glaze. Last but not least, the vehicle was protected with Autoglym HD wax.

Today finally I am able to work on my daily driven vehicle. Since the vehicle was polished and cleaned previously , all I have to do is to apply Zymol cleaner wax and Atlantique glaze by hands.

It took around three hours for the whole application of Atlantique glaze and the final result is stunning ! The glaze has enhanced the wetness of the paint and it contains 60% Brazillian # 1 white carnauba wax.

Have not been back for a while , here is what I did to a member's 09 WRX STI on vancouver imprea club before the Rev scene meet.

This vehicle is usually parked on the street and exposed to the environment.

Firstly, the vehicle was foam cannoned and washed. After that, the vehicle was clay barred and a 1 stage polish was performed to correct the oxidized paint + light swirls on the paint.

After that, the vehicle was protected with Collinite 496s and topped up with Mitchell & King - temptation wax to enhance the wetness effect.

Here is a 2007 2.5 subaru Impreza Wagon. The vehicle was pre owned and the paint was neglected by the previous owner.

The vehicle was firstly foam cannoned and hand washed. After that, it was clay clothed to remove any embedded contaminants. And then a 1 stage polish was performed in order to renew the oxidized paint and correct the problem of swirls on the paint.

Moreover, both headlights were protected with Opti-coat which will provide protection for the headlights and prevent them from turning yellow.

After that, the vehicle was layered with Autoglym HD wax and enhanced with Mitchell & King temptation wax for the wetness appearance.
