Sorry, but even at £10 it's still Autoglym.
Can't sell, now they're seeing if they can give it away.
That about sums AG up these days.

Unknownsoldier · 14th December 2007, 12:21

I don't personally find my AG to bad, but I use meguiars wax which is far superior.

Other than that that pack looks like a reasonable deal, thanks for posting it up.

Used to clean with Autoglym but Meguiars is much better!

Dimplyred · 14th December 2007, 21:15

I'll have to give Meguiars a go. I've used Auto Glym for years. Is it really that much better?

sw65 · 14th December 2007, 21:19

I think so yes; I bought the twin Gold pack of shampoo and wax from Halfords for £16. It's excellent on my red Type S. No residue.

Also use a Halford's wash mitt, dry with a vileda and dry again with a Meguiars Water magnet towel.

This routine is recommended in Cleaning forum and it's sound advice. No swirls, no flakiness, just a brilliant shine.

You'll have to come and demostrate your method to me, once a week for a few weeks!!

Seriously though I'll have to try it. Cheers

I haven't been there for a long time, it is quite bad.

sw65 · 14th December 2007, 21:45

We used to live in the sedate area of the Staffordshire moorlands in Cheddleton near Leek and Waterhouses, between Ashbourne and Leek.

Quite miss those places.

So many people are starting to realise this about Autoglym its such a waste of money (apart from the glass polish thats actualy good)
Problem with Autoglym is it has no durability at all , this also goes for Meguires although its not as bad as Autoglym it still doesnt last very long

Products like Poorboy's,Collinite. Klasse(carlack) are far far better

IanG · 20th January 2008, 22:23

Forget the AG and get some Carlack, Collinite and one I want to try is Dodo Juice in fact have a look on detailling world for some tips on keeping your Civic nice and shiny

Ive been amazed at collinite 476 over the winter

I applied it September and it still beads and shines like it was done last week !

robbo51 · 21st January 2008, 07:31

Its the best wax for lasting Ive ever used.
It does like to be topped up though

Jacqui · 21st January 2008, 10:23

I bought some Collinite before Christmas just haven't had a dry enough day when I've not been in work to put it on my car!!! Was actually thinking of going into the multi-storey car park by work and doing it in there!!!

CivicTypeRGT Owner · 29th February 2008, 04:36

Im going to be getting some Collonite soon. The last time i waxed my car i had swirls left on it - annoyed the hell out of me! What did i do wrong and where can i go right?!

PJS · 29th February 2008, 11:23

If you want to hide the swirls, a couple of layers of Bilt Hamber Auto Balm would be a better option, as well as as long, if not longer protection as Collinite.
The swirls could've come from anywhere - poor wash technique/regime, dirty/hard MF cloth, etc.
If you want rid of the swirls, you'd be looking at either paying someone to do it with their machine and polishes, or investing in one, and them yourself.
