Honest's Opinion: My favourite range of car cleaning products and polishes. I originally recommend Autoglym Super Resin Polish topped off with two or three coats of Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection for a lasting shine that also repels many of the nasty things that eat into paintwork. Now I use Autoglym High Definition Wax, which is more expensive but givesa a finish that lasts 6 months for a car kept outdoors; at least 12 months for a car that is garaged.
