Beyond autoglym?

[6C4GTS]

As the weather has been crap this month my 911 has been holed up in the garage. So I have taken this opportunity to do some TLC. Car was washed and then I have polished with Autoglym Super Resin just to take off some tar spots and recent surface deposits, I use Autoglym Paint Renovator for anything more but the car is in OK shape. Next I have applied a coat of Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection and buffed off after about an hour or so. I have repeated this coating of Extra Gloss Protection every couple of days now in the hope of building up some thin coats for a better result. All application is by hand.

So my query is whether there is a better product to apply on top of the Extra Gloss or just stick to this product - or use another product altogether?

I like the car to look nice but to be honest its driven very hard when it does come out so perfection is not on the agenda.

I've used a fair few products but multiple layers of the extra gloss are hard to beat on a budget.

I think the high carnauba content waxes give a deeper shine but they won't last anywhere near as long.

I think I'm going to try a coat of the Autoglym HD Wax next and then a final Extra Gloss over that to seal the lot and see what result that gives.

I found the hd wax excellent on black paintwork and lasts a ling time too.

Autoglym HD Wax coat last night - nice easy application!

I intend to go for one last coat of the Gloss over the top tonight and then go out and get it all dirty and covered in insects and collect more stone chips.

Might take a few pics if I didn't think I was going to get panned by the pro detailers!!

Will Super resin polish used with a machine remove swirl marks or what is the best product to use?

Sorry to hijack thread but its Autoglym

The Extra Gloss won't bond to the HD Wax so it will be a waste of time & product. EGP is designed to work with the SRP, you can't wax then seal.

polishing with SRP will hide the swirl marks, some will be removed, the others hidden by the fillers in the product.

Don't put the EGP over the HD Wax!

You should go SRP, then a couple layers of EGP, then a couple of layers of HD Wax to set it off nicely

Is SRP not a wax then?

How about Ultra Deep Shine? I use two coats of UDS followed by a coat of EGP, seems to do the trick.

SRP (Super Resin Polish) & UDS (Ultra Deep Shine) are both polishes, the EGP is designed to work with SRP, but may well work just as well with the UDS.

I use the SRP as it gives a glossy look and the fillers hide minor blemishes, I then protect it with 3 coats of Pete's 53 wax. Brilliant stuff.
