Hi after I clean and chamois my car I spray this stuff called sprayed and shine on (like a liquid wax) and polish off and it comes up nice, but was thinking of trying meguiars or autoglym version has anyone had any experience with these.

Or is there anything anyone else would recommend?

Thanks

Matt

Back on topic.... winkeye

I use Zymol stuff on mine - takes some time, but comes up a real treat and lasts ages.

Heard good things about Meguiars stuff as well.

Bought autoglym show shine in the end, and its absolutely amazing, I think you would struggle to get a better shine, my car is like a mirror at the moment, it also smells lush too and is only 6.99 which is quite reasonable for autoglym, I would highly recommend it! Cheers and thanks for the advice people. :D

My E30 is, Briliantrot Red, I use Auto Glym Super Resin Polish, if i am right in saying there is another generation of this time of wax out, which is better formulated that its current seller, it is amazing to be honest.

After which applying Auto Glym Ultra Gloss Protection which practically seals the wax.

my car was near enough pink when i bought it two years ago, this being the third year of ownership. It has restored the paint well:
