SRP is not a wax or sealant, and should never be used as a final treatment. The reason why it's not lasting is that there is no protection over the top of it!

Meguiars wax for me - not cheap but it is the real deal

Autoglym EGP lasts a very long time still turns water into large drops on the paintwork after 12 months and 20k miles. Super product not found anything that comes close. Super Resin was always designed to be coated in EGP for long-term protection.

I use Autoglym SRP followed by their Extra Gloss. It gives good results and lasts a long time. I still have a soft spot for the old Simoniz Original in the yellow tin but my god is it hard work to apply and remove !

I went up to bed via the garage last night. The product whose name I couldn’t remember is Gyeon Wet Coat.

Meguiars wax for me - not cheap but it is the real deal

I used Autoglym from the mid 80's to 2005. It was way better than any polish I had used before but the powdery residue was always an annoying issue.

But in 2005 I discovered Meguiars when I needed a clay bar. After using the bar I used their Gold Class polish and what a revelation. Did the whole car (C-Max) in about 30 minutes and no powdery residue. Best bit was 6 months later, water was still beading, Autogly stopped after about 4 weeks.

Would not use anything but Meguiars now. Do cars twice a year and despite being more expensive than some main stream brands its really economical when used with the foam applicator.

Looking in a magazine over the weekend one company was selling car wax at over £250 a pot. What idiot would buy that.

Which meguirs wax product do you think tops autoglym I might try that on my wifes care and autoglym on mine and report back to you all in weeks/months on my views long term.

Try reading my post. But just in case that is beyond you it was Meguiars Gold Class.

In my first post I suggested Meguiars Gold Class instead of Autoglym. Your response was:

Which meguirs wax product do you think tops autoglym I might try that on my wifes care and autoglym on mine and report back to you all in weeks/months on my views long term.

I responded by suggesting you read my original post but added the name of the product anyway.

Now you are asking again which Meguiars product it is and list 8 to choose from.

1) hybrid cermanic wax 2) ulimate liquid wax 3) quick wax 4) ultimate wax paste 5) gold class wax paste 6) wash abd wax anywhere 7) mirror bright polishing wax 8) nxt tech wax

Surely its not that hard to decide that for yourself. I have made it incredibly clear in my 2 previous posts. Cannot see why I need to spell it out yet again.

In my opinion the very best by far is Bullet Polish.

Bullet Polish is an emulsion of canauba wax, has no silicone in it and leaves no white residue. Doesn't clean (except as much as a damp cloth would) but leaves a durable wax, so maybe the word polish is misleading. This is a bit of a secret product, used by some of the best car (and other) museums in UK. Can be used on all finishes from coach enamel - 2-pack without lifting, and on glass, rubber, plastics, fabric etc etc. I find it really easy to use if /when drying off my car after having washed it.

Sadly Bullet Polish is not widely available except from the web site or a very few outlets (eg the museums that use it).

Sounds interesting, thanks for that !

Edit: Available from our friend's at Amazon apparently.
