Auto Glym HD Wax

Mon Mar 23, 2009 1:32 am

Bought this stuff the other day and the results are amazing!
Not cheap at £40, but it should last for a couple of years and the pack includes 2 applicator sponges (pre-moistened - nice touch!) and a very nice buffing cloth.
Anyone else toyed with the idea of purchasing this?

we use Autoglym at work and have pretty much every product they make. I have used the HD wax and was not amazed by it, didnt seem to last very long once on the paintwork.
Liquid Hardwax on the other hand goes on so easily and seems to last ages.

Did a test a month ago with my offroader with HD wax on one sife and liquid hardwax on the other. After a month of salt/road grime and 2 days 'extreme' offroading and generally not caring for it the liquid hardwax is just as good as when it went on, the same cannot be said for HD wax. You can guess which one we use on the F1s

hd wax is pricey for jo public £20 odd quid for trade it,s ok but liquid hardwax [extra gloss protection] will give longer lasting results like most sealants do.

Need I say more.

Spend the £35-40 and you'll get great results and not have to buy any more for at least 1-1.5 years.

Ali. dependent on the volume of carnuba your looking at 4-6 weeks durability not two years. High end waxes will give approx 8 weeks protection. Again this all comes down to the environment your cars in. Rain, salt etc.

Gino, I think he means the bottle will last two years

Yeah, was talking about the wax tub lasting 1.5 years. I was pretty liberal with my application and I'd say I used about 15ml of the 150ml tub. Therefore, 10 applications x 8 weeks coverage = 80 weeks overall cover (hence my 1-1.5 year estimate).

Try EGP then some HD Wax as well.

Forget the AutoExpress reviews, rubbish as usual. They are comparing different products on the same categories.

Just used mine and i highly recommend the stuff.

Fri Apr 17, 2009 7:28 pm

Yeah I was told by a chap to get the best results - wash thoroughly, chamoix, apply EGP let it cure for 20-30mins, buff off and then use HD wax to finish.
Just did it and am very happy with the results!
