I've been looking for a new polish system for the last month or so, and as a consciensious comsumer I like to research my purchases.I made my mind up but then changed it.... and every time I look for a product which I think is suitable I seem to find a forum full of people singing the praises of the competitors product. I know there are a lot of factors (environmental, cost, time) which govern peoples opinions but I still can't decide.... so I need you to do it for me. I wash my car every week and want a supershine on it. I currently use Autoglym (extra gloss for the shine). I've narrowed it down to 3 brands with the intention of getting a clay bar, cleaner and wax from them for around £100. 1/ Zaino - £80 - Clay, polish loc, polish & gloss 2/ Zymol - £105 - Klay, Clear, HD Cleanse & Carbon Wax 3/ Swissol - £115 - Rubber, Cleaner, Saphir wax Your opinions please ------------- Avus E36 M3.0 |

Meguiars also seems popular... I'm a Zymol chappie myself - not that I've had time to clean to poor beastie of late ------------- The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think. |

Those 3 are good however I use P21s - from Mike Milbourne (The polishing company) http://www.thepolishingcompany.com - http://www.thepolishingcompany.com £39.99 for starter kit - shampoo, cleanser, wax, wheel cleaner, shammy, and cloths etc £24.50 for clay magic I was going to purchase zymol but was recommended this by someone. Superb value, good product, long lasting protection and very easy appplication and removal with very little effort - wax certainly easier than zymol to get a good streak free finish. It took my Sport Evo shine to a new level - and the Autoglym went in the bin - absolute snake oil that stuff. All 3 products that you have listed will out perform Autoglym 200%. ------------- 1990 E30 M3 Sport Evolution |
