Mr Specs sir really super video I like a lot, nice to see your still human and can make mistakes aswell (the better man admits he was wrong, follows up with some new & better information, then makes a video to tell us the people he has made such a mistake and moves on) 👍👍👍 you made a new subscriber outa me, long may you film and keep the videos coming!!! Support from 🇮🇪
I’ve been cleaning my own cars since 1986 and I’ve tried nearly everything regarding polish/wax and I always come to back to Autoglym it is the best in my eyes
Used it on my Porsche cayenne it lived up to its reputation. Neighbours think ive brought a new car. I firstly washed then claybar and finished with this. What a difference then enhance the shine even more with g3 sealant spray and wipe. Fantastic.
That noise on the video is the Higgs bosons being reflected off that super shiny surface, the CERN team will be in touch about issues with their LHC test results 😉 Starting to like your channel lots of friendly information and great clear instructions.
Good video and demo, thanks! I've been using SRP for over 4 years now. I think on newer paint it's a great solution that delivers very good results without creating much hassle. And it's cheap! When I knew very little about paint protection I'd just use it on top of my previous clean black car with the help of Ryobi's cordless orbital polisher (great product!). The results were good. It gets better if you clay the car first (if it hasn't been clayed in say, 12 months and is your daily driver) and then apply it. In my experience fast forwarding a few years, it will give the best results if the paint is clean, clayed then followed by SRP. Then you wipe the paintwork down with Carpro Eraser or similar to remove some of the residues and more importantly the dust. Finally, you finish it off with a wax or sealant such as Collinite 845 or Fusso Coat. If you do this, you can then go easily for at least 6 months by just washing and every now and then drying or wiping on/off with a quick detailer like Last Touch or even better, Sonax Brillant Shine Detailer. From a DIYer point of view, this sequence/combo will provide the best value, looks, and durability that will see that showroom look last for as long as you wish. I drive 12K miles/year in the north of England mostly and I approve this message! :)
Great video thank you, really helpful. I think this is a good polish for novices/the working man looking for something that will give great results but forgiving at the same time 👍 can't wait for the better weather to come back to the UK so I can get out and start cleaning my car (last cleaned in Nov and it's now Feb 😱)
my friend used the autoglym full kit on his car, and bloody hell.. it literally looks showroom finish, unbelievable. I'm getting it tomorrow, but worried I'm gonna fuck up my st :( haha. Cheers for thid vid!
It's a very user friendly product, just follow the instructions and you'll be fine. Try not to get it on any rubber or plastic trim but if you do make sure you wipe it off asap. Let me know how it goes.
On a black car I would use Ultra Deep Shine, and then use a proper wax coating, then followed by an easy coat of sonax brilliant shine detailer. Does the job.
I used it for the first time this week. Did an ok job, in its defence the bonnet of a 110,000 mile motorway muncher was a stiff test. It made a difference over the usual SRP, which does a good job. It certainly hid a lot of the surface swirls. Used it around the handles and again most disappeared.
A "Glaze" did not exist 20 years ago when Super Resin Polish was released. If you've got a twisted problem with this fantastic product, don't use it and don't tell me I can't use it.
Super resin polish or radian wax the 5 litre trade version ( it's exactly the same stuff ) has been out since 1986, but got redeveloped in 2012. It's good stuff when you know how to use it properly unlike in this video. I've been using it for 35 years but I now prefer Meguiar's.
Great video and the results speak for themselves. Would you still consider adding a glaze on top of SRP before waxing or do you think the SRP negates the need to?
Good question! SRP contains fillers and wax so adding a glaze on top wouldn't help much. Better to add a wax or sealant instead which will protect the fillers for longer and add better hydrophobics.
Im very allergic to Autoglym SRP. If I get a splash on my skin I get a red sore patch. If I forget gloves or get a hole in one... My skin gets red, sore, dries and cracks open. Only happens when I use SRP... So I choose not to use it regardless.
Would be better without that really loud music that you have to turn down to zero and then turn the volume back up because you are very low in comparison.
Thank you for the video but whilst Autoglym is effective there are other cheaper cleaner waxes which are just as good. Triplewax car polish is effective and can be bought from Sainsburys - £5 for 1 litre. Also Turtlewax Carnauba car wax is another effective one. Can get 500ml of it online for approx £3.
Thanks, glad you liked it. Polishing should be done whenever you think the paint is looking dull or needs some enhancement. Waxing should be done straight after to protect the paint finish then as often as you like after that depending on how long the wax lasts. Hope that helps 🤞
Thanks for this vid. I just started using this and it can be really unclear exactly what a product is, especially when casual users and even manufacturers use the terms "polish" and "wax" interchangeably, and hardcore detailers insist polishes are only for cutting. Out of interest, how often do you use super resin polish? I plan to use it every 2 months and wash the car every other week. I can't be arsed with autoglym's extra gloss protection. Cheers!
Thanks Nathan, glad it clears things up. I would tend to use it every two to three months. If you don't like Extra Gloss Protection then try Rapid Aqua Wax (I've got a video on that too) which you can use after every wash and will keep the car glossy and hydrophobic. 👍
Any wax or sealant you like. If you want to stick to AutoGlym then their Extra Gloss Protection sealant or Ultra High Definition Wax are both easy to use.
There was a difference, however, you should have done a side by side comparison with a DA. For an average Joe car cleaner, the review is ok but there are so many "specialists" on line with absolutely no scientific qualifications or evidence claiming to be a reliable reviewer.
Believe it or not, the phone was in airplane mode! I can't understand it myself but I switched to proper cameras after that. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
The polish is too fine to create visible scratches so it dors not mater if you straight line or not. Straight line is just an insurance, just in case you get a left over chunk of dirt and you do scratches with it. Straight line scratch will only be visible from fewer angles vs circular scratch. For fillers, circular is better as it fills more spots.
Yes I second that! I keep seeing swirls on the paint of my dark blue Jaguar and they are definitely the result of my polishing efforts. I keep wondering if polishing in back and forth motion would not render the polishing traces less visible as swirls can be seen from all directions but straight traces can only be seen from one direction. Is there something wrong with my reasoning?
This is by no means a final coat product, though it contains wax so you don't necessarily have to top it. For best results top it with a dedicated wax or sealant, I really like AutoGlym UHD Wax on warm colours.
It depends on what you want from a polish. AutoGlym is really good but gets a little dusty after drying. Auto Finesse Triple is a great alternative, as it Stjarnagloss Skära.
Given its advised to only pollish your car a couple times a year, as to not over do it with the cars finish. Would it be correct in saying you could use this kind more frequently and infact over time it may have a more permanent effect on the cars finish coat due to repeated tiny layers regularly treated?
The abrasives will likely remove anything previously applied so you get a fresh application every time. Three to four times a year is enough to keep the car looking good, especially when topped with a dedicated wax or sealant.
@@SpeckyMcSporran the autoglym SRP will not cut the paintwork at all so you can use it as much as possible. You should get yourself a paint depth gauge and you will see before and after a bloody good going over even with a machine that the paintwork stays exactly the same thickness. I totally agree with what you said that its still a very good product. I think they should not of called it a polish as it has no cutting agents in it. Good video BTW
Technically yes but Ultimate Compound has far more cut and is made to remove defects rather than mask them. If you've already compounded then you should be looking at protection instead.
@@SpeckyMcSporran cheers pal so just polished it today and applied g3 wax over it then I come to wash it next will just need washed and dried nothing else
10:16 that noise is the auto focus on your camera trying to focus on 2 different light sources, do it again without the torch light and it will not do it.
Hi, I used Auto Glym( same as your) to polish my car. After a day I find to much dust sat on my car. What do you recommend (I didn't apply any wax or ceramic code after polishing.) Is this normal?
The polish is a little dusty when you buff it off so make sure you wipe all the panels clean. You can use a detailing spray to make sure the panels have nothing left on them. It certainly doesn't attract dust so I can only guess the dust has come from the buff-off process.
@@SpeckyMcSporran Thank you for your information. But, I mean road dust (from Environment) sat in my car and sticks. It looks I never wash my car for ages. What do you recommend?
Nothing will stop that from landing on your car. You could give it a rinse and dry or maybe a rinseless wash, if it's very light then maybe a wipe over with a detailing spray.
use ASDA triple wax, £5 a litre, all triple waxes are good quality, wax, cutting agent, polymer resin, put on paintwork while still wet after washing car and apply liberally, let dry to a white haze then polish off with a towel, a bonnet and one wing is about the right area to apply polish too at one time, any more and it will be hard to polish off as it hardens to much, also apply polish on a dull day or in the shade away from direct sunlight, when car is completely done go over it all with a wash mop glove that is dry to remove any streaks, whole car should take 45 minutes tops, Autoglym is one of those overpriced products that are a fashion product, like glass cleaner by them at a cost of £14, crumple up a newspaper and mix some vinegar and water and dampen the paper and scrub window, let dry and finish with dry crumpled newspaper, nothing comes close to vinegar and water for cleaning glass, or wooden furniture,
Awesome 👏🏼 video Can I bring my car 🚘 to you and you can machine polish it for me I have autoglym super resin polish But I don’t have the machine Where are you based ? I can pay 💰 you for this work I’m driving 2018 Black Mercedes Benz A200d AMG Line
I'm glad you like the video but I don't do cars for money. The channel is a hobby so I only work on friends or family members cars. If you want to get started with machine polishing then I might make a video about it.
@@SpeckyMcSporran personally I use a DA machine polisher, obvs I don't turn it on and use it in an up and down motion to avoid circles. Best be careful eh. Did I really just use the aberration obvs???
