Hi just after some advice if possible. I wanna give my car a coat of wax and was wondering what's the best easiest to use for a first timer. I normally just wash my car with the 2 bucket method then dry and then polish with autoglym ultra deep shine. My question is after iv polished and waxed my car the next time I wash it do i need to apply more polish to the car as iv read some waxes can last for months. So after its washed what's the process. My car is black if that makes any difference. Thanks

I get good results with Autoglym SRP then Autoglym HD Wax.

Being honest, the last time I did it was probably November, but it still beads nicely and repels water after a simple wash even now after all the crap weather.

I think if you wanted to maintain the wax and add a bit of extra shine after a wash you could use a quick detailer. Meguires do a good one.

If you used the SRP instead that would probably remove the wax, so you'd want to top up with wax again.

Really impressed with the HD Wax though, it's dead easy to use (you get a couple of foam applicator pads and a microfibre in the box) and the protection lasts for ages. I think it's a combination of carnauba and synthetic waxes.

You should see a good 3 months with AutoGlym HD wax. You would not need to reapply wax after a wash, just use a quick detail spray whilst drying to reduce water spots. Super Resin Polish and HD Wax are a perfect combo. It would be worth using a claybar kit before applying SRP to get a really good bond to the paint work. The claybar kit will remove heavy dirt/contaniment residue on the paint work that a normal wash doesnt remove leaving a glass smooth finish  :drool:

I would strongly recommend something like FK1000P or Fusso, they last ages

Cheers that makes sense I will try them products and see how it goes. I did wonder what the benefit of wax was but I'm thinking its a protective layer after polishing. So I don't need to polish or re wax after every wash then just use a detailing spray after washing to keep it shiney. Thanks
