I supply fibreglass plant pots (with plants in) for a living.

Stuff like this:



We reuse 2nd hand ones frequently for resale and for event hires, and I use car polish on them to get them looking good.

It was tactfully suggested Autoglym was spoling them a bit laugh so I've tried one or two cheap own-brand ones from places like Halfords and they are rubbish by comparison, particularly for leaving wipe marks that are a swine to get off.

Anyone know of a polish that's half decent and reasonably cheap?

Could try getting AG stuff in bulk?

We don't use a lot, a bottle every couple of months, but we are tight keep a close eye on overheads.

Oh.. I was thinking a bottle of SRP per day or something hehe

Wait until Halfords have a 3 for 2 deal on, (Currently on atm infact!) and buy 3 bottles for about £22. That'll last you nearly a year wink

RejeX. I'll happily send you a blister-pack sample to try. send me address details.

(500ml for £20 rrp so cheap enough if you like and decide to buy...)

Read the title and immediately though of Autoglym SRP - then I read the post whistle

Can't think of any polishes as easy to work with and that give as good of a finish for cheaper. Maybe just buy SRP in bulk?

I think the problem is I'm the only person who has to use it, and I can tell that stty own brand polish is stty, but it is 2+ times cheaper than AG, which is great IMHO.

But my colleagues think I'm being a pointless label snob.

Poorboys SSR range. The higher the number the more aggressive it is. You'll probably want SSR2.
