Autoglym for me but I use the new polish for modern paints.  Must say, excellent results with both the Megga and Cav.

I use Meguiars NXTGEN Tech-Wax...IMO the best stuff money can buy, makes Autoglym Super Resin look and feel cheap.

 Certainly do Mark, www.cleanandshiney.co.uk although Halfords seem to stock it, at RRP too...well, mine does.

 The £15 a bottle for the Tech Wax does seem expensive at first, but once you use it you realise why its abit more costly than the others  ;)

 Although i have to say, it doesnt give as good results on White or Silver cars as it does on most other colours.

ive been having a bit of a sort out in the garage recently an seem to have lots of polishes, so the car has been getting polished a lot recently.

Autoglym is good, good value for money, but does go chalkey and leaves a powder which is a pain to get off at times.
Meguires is excellent, but really expensive, i use 'quik clay' it gets rid of all the minute bits of crud and crap that sits on the paint, the paint really feels shmooth after.
for polish Harleys Caraunba wax, it is about £60 a tub, but fantastic, smells like nothing at all, i'm polishing the car and drooling cos of the smell at the same time.

simonez max wax. dont get one of those spinning disk polishing machines great for getting it on pants at removing it and it also attracts a group of small children pointing and laughing if you live in an estate (housing i dont live in my car just yet)

I'm starting to go down the Auto Glym route as well. There was an offer in last months 'TV' magazine where a company was doing a special offer on Meguiars kit - around £20. I would need to have a search for the mag, but i think it was A1 motorstores that were supplying the kit. There are no branches in NI tho and no mail order so was no good to me  [smiley=sad.gif] Would be good to try it tho when on special offer.
