Has any one used the autoglym HD wax before and if so what are you thoughts on it.
I did have a look how much it was at halfords and its £45 but had a look on ebay and its for sale there at £25 delivered which is a damm good price compaired to halfords.
Heres a link to the ebay listing

Any info on this would be much apperciated

hi mate,
we sell it in work for 35 quid, i havent used it myself but a customer who bought it came back and let me see the results.
Very nice glossy finish and the raindrops held pretty tight beads.
He said it wasnt any more involved than a regular wax, easy on and off.
Ta james

Personally I'd recommend Chemical Guys Pete's #53 signature wax. Good endurance & a great shine & reasonably priced too at around 20 quid a pot. Due to the shape of the pot - you can warm it up and drop the whole block out thus helping with direct hand application should you wish?

Never used HD wax but use Auto glyn Resin Polish then use the extra gloss protection and always comes up nice even on dull paint work and the pair together would cost about £15.00 but i have always been hapy with their products... mind you still use Mer every now and then and that is good also but try using Auto Glynns extar gloss after using ordinary polish and comes up nice....

If you want a wax that will last a year after just 2 coats...
Collonite is the one for you.

I use hd wax on mine quite a lot. Personally i like it its a bastard to buff off but it does last a while mine was last waxed in sept put 3 coats o. Over a few weeks and its still beading the water now. Just a quick wash and it looks as shiney as wen i waxed & polished it. Its not the cheapest to buy but ive had the same tub for about 18months and its only used about a 1/4 of the tub and its been used a hell of a lot.

I usually use CG Pete's 53 (as Dave said)
Tried Mothers SynWAX recently and was very good too on the new Silver car.
on special the now "much cheapness"
