Meguiars Cleaning Products?

[peeves]

Any of you guys had any experience with this car cleaning stuff? I am devoted AutoGlym man myself, however, a busy schedule means I am handing my car over to a valeting company to wash/wax my pride and joy. This is the stuff they use, just want to make sure it's decent?

I use some of their products and I'd say they are better than Autoglym.

Excellent, thanks!

I would say so too. In my experience.

It's decent, you won't have a problem.

Have used Meguiars for years and generally find it better than Autoglym although if you go on detailing world Autoglyms super resin polish seems well regarded.

I have only had positive experiences with Meguiars products.

I use some Autoglym products and I'd say they are better then the equivalent Megs (of which I have even more of their products).

Same here, save for AG's super resin polish which is superb.

Got to say the best Turtle Wax products beat AG or Meguars IMHO, look for Platinum Extra Gloss in Halfords, 1st class.

Both brands are much of a muchness - adequate in the main, nothing to get excited over.
You've nothing to be concerned about on the product front, just the capabilities of the valeting company.
If you're confident in them, then just relax.

Used Meguirs wax for the 1st time last year and simply could not believe the results or how long it has lasted with one coat. Just imho it's way beyond anything I've tried...

I've used quite a lot of Meguiar's stuff and agree it is very decent stuff.

Auto Glym's Super Resin Polish followed by Extra Gloss as a simple two stage procedure post cleaning produces very very good results which are long lasting.

Used Megiuars for a few years now, good quality stuff and I generally prefer it to Autoglym. Although like others have mentioned Autoglym Super Resin Polish and the EXtra gloss protection is good stuff, although a bit tricky to use.

Really? I thought that was cheap generic stuff.

I always found that stuff really hard work to achieve a decent finish.

[RVVUNM]

I have both because I used to be an Autoglym fan, but when I tried Meguiars I found it much better and the Autoglym has sat unused and unloved on the shelf.

OP - you might get a better response here...

Had some great results with the 3 stage Megs stuff on the TVR. lots of elbow grease and revived some rather tired paint.

On the TT I use a combination of Megs Gold Class wax and a coating of Autoglym Extra Gloss afterwards. Really seems to work well on a black car.

I'm surprised to see so many positives for AG Super Resin Polish. I always found my cars covered in white powder after use.

I've since used Megs polish and wax to great effect and their black plastic trim stuff is the only thing I can find to keep a P38's door handles from going white.

The bubble gum smell is quite nice too.
