Autoglym Super reisin polish

[Ron Burgundy]

Ive had it for a few months but not bothered to use it. Now ive just noticed on another forum a quote which im trying to get my head round

detailer said:

The car had initially looked pretty good before i had washed it but it was alot swirlier once clayed and dried. Turns out the car had been given a quick going over with Autoglym SRP so the fillers had obviously been removed - showing the true condition of the paint

Now when it says filters have been removed, is this a type of protection on the paint?

Ive got an 06plate fiesta and just want to make sure im using it and confident that it is a good product to use

Cheers

SRP is , as it says, a polish. It makes the paintwork look better than it is by filling in blemishes in the paint itself. Which is why, after his claying had removed the fillers, it looked swirlier.

If your paint is OK, then it wont hurt, and is a quick alternative to doing it properly...

The fillers in products such as Autoglym SRP are taken away by the claying process as mentioned. It is important to note that if you just use Autoglym SRP on your paint without a proper protectant to follow such as Autoglym EGP or a good wax the fillers will quickly wash away and your scratches will become more noticable.

If you follow up Autoglym SRP with a quality protectant such as Finish Kare 1000p or a Collinite wax, then it'll lock in the fillers for longer and the paint will look better for longer.

So a coat of polish then i assume thats a wax after will give a better protection also?

Sorry, I hate the stupid detailingworld acronyms that make cleaning a car sound like some sort of rocket science.

Yes yes yes, I know that there is a lot more to washing a car properly than just getting a bucket (or two) out and slinging some water over it

Funny that. I hate things being called acronyms when they are simple abbreviations or initialisms.

Yup as said srp is just that a polish that contains fillers. It will offer no protection to your paint. Get a good wax / sealant on there after the srp.

However, work the srp hard enough and you'll remove the swirls and the fillers won't be needed as much.

Personally i think you'd be better off going for a stronger polish such as menzerna intensive polish (menz ip) if working by hand. Which ever you use, get hold of a german applicator pad from the likes of polished bliss. using the white side, this will help you to cut through the paint and remove the defects rather than having to hide them with fillers.

I've seen Autoglym SRP used on paint that had no swirl marks or blemishes, a really high gloss finish and it still improved the gloss so it must have some beneficial ingredients besides fillers

That's because polishes are designed to cut back the paint to get to a fresh layer. Hence marketing comments on the packaging and adverts saying "restoring gloss" "bringing back the shine" etc. Even a swirl free car will have some bonded on contaminents and oxidisation. The only way to avoid this is to keep topped up with a quality wax or sealant. Then stripping this back every 6 months and building it up again.

Well I hate people who miss the definition of an acronym - a word formed from the initial letters of a name, e.g. SRP - Super Resin Polish

I have AG SRP,EGP and one other AG product, I can't remember its name but I have the SRP, one of the others is a clear liquid and the other is a white cream similar consitency to SRP.

I read somewhere that once SRP is used either the EGP or the other product I have just removes the fillers and positives of SRP.

does the clear liquid one wash the SRP off?

[//j17]

Depends on the clear liquid!

From memory both Autoglym's Extra Gloss Protection (EGP) and Instant Tar Remover (ITR) are clear liquids.

The first is a wax (protective layer with no abrasives or fillers) designed to be used of a polish (that does contain abrasives/fillers). The second is an concentrated solvent designed to break down 'crud' on your paintwork that a simple washing wno't shift (stuff like oil/tar/etc).

EGP won't remove the Super Resin Polish but ITR will.

[plumAJP]

i have EGP SRP and ultra deep shine now someone told me one of them will get rid of the other.

I have been washing the car polishing it with SRP buff off, then a coat of EGP. is this the correct way or should i seal the SRP with something different?

is the ultra deep shine a polish? can this be incorporated with the SRP and EGP or will it wipe off the fillers of the SRP?

[//j17]

A quick look on the AutoGlym website says Ultra Deep Shine is an all-in-one and their suggestion for dark cars. Super Resin Polish + Extra Gloss Protection for lighter coloured cars.

Nothing to suggest one will remove the other, just that Extra Gloss Protection isn't necessary with Ultra Deep Shine.
