Snow foam work well but its getting it thick enough to stay on car for a bit and the leave it as long as can. Oh it is lots of fun to!

I have just used Autoglym super resin polish on all my cars so far does the job.

With the Auto then does that mean the over drive means the revs are lower than the manual on motorway?


Ive been looking at these Autoglym products. There seems to be two main larger products. The kit with wheel and tyre and interior stuff, and then the autoglym life product. The life-product only seems to sell on ebay, the other is the "perfect bodywork kit". The lifeshine has aqua wax, the other doesn't. Canny work out which one i need.



Andy, may I suggest that you wait until you have your Jimny, then see how bad the dealer prep is. You can then make the decision as how much needs to be done,for the paintwork to be acceptable.It may well be fine.
If the paintwork is badly swirled, the Lifeshine kit will not remove the scratches, it will only put a layer of product over the top. It is designed as a protection.
Call me cynical, but I have never yet had a new car with un-marred paintwork.

Aqua Wax is little more than a Quick Detailing spray/ Drying aid, IMO, with a bit more wax.

I'm with Lambert - polish, sealant, and then dirt on the top is the 'correct' look!
