nixy Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Just been to my local York Halfrauds and they've got all autoglym on offer at buy 3 for the price of 2. Not sure if it's a national offer but worth checking out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 However, they did charge me 1.99 for something I never even bought and by the time I realised it was too late - it wasn't my day, the Indian restaurant missed my onion bhajis out of my take away order as well!

sinbad Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 That happened to me on Saturday too! Your supposed to get 4 free with every order. wasn't happy, went back in but the q was massive! You not coming to the NW drive out? Kev's coming in the BM and my mate is trying to make it in his Focus RS so you wouldn't be out of place!

I use the Megs NXT wash & wax mate (think Val does too unless he's changed). Personnally I love the finish with this stuff and its nice & easy too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbad Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 so i need: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... ryrn_31557 http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... ryrn_31557 Ive been using turtle wax extreme up until now. The shampoo has good effects but doesn't make suds whci i like. The wax is brilliant and doesn't leave any white dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 personally don't rate Autoglym RSP, too much hard work to take it off and leaves TONS of white residue. Used to use it, but since I switched to Meg's NXT (basically all their range minus the spray wax which is crap, tried that one too) I still have to find something better for the price. Don't get the lambswool mitt or if you do, wash it by hand and not in the washing machine as mine got damages, and now use the microfibre mitt from Meg's. Shampoo: again the NXT one is very good imo. I use some Autoglym products (the glass cleaner is really good) but now mostly Megs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinbad Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Cheers guys, appreciate it!!!!!! I've got loads of Microfibres, just thought id get a wool mit for applying the shampoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 I use a microfibre mit and the two bucket method. It washes fine in the machine. I use lots of different products and use a meguiars shampoo which I got in a 5 litre bottle - think it's called soft wash. I'm currently using Einzett Glanz wax as it brings out the metalic flake nicely. Oh and I always use lots of quick or speed detailer when I'm drying it with a large drying towel.
