So it’s daddy day today and I was surprised by my 3 kids , dog & cat that they bought me these two .
The autoglym high definition wax and auto finesse glass cleaner
Have been always wanting to try the autoglym wax as I have loved the products they have . Now with little surprise I only wash my Capri once a year but might treat it to another full detailed wash before the ace cafe just so I can use my new wax .
I don’t know if any one else uses the full autoglym wash with the clay bar followed by super resin polish ?
Will post up results after, as normal .
Also happy daddy day to all you Capri daddy’s ........

Hi Jason,
What a great present!
I don't use the Autoglym wash, but I do annually use the clay bar, followed by resin polish and finally a coating of high definition wax. The paintwork feels silky smooth afterwards. I think dark coloured cars will respond especially well to the treatment, so yours should come up a treat. Looking forward to seeing some photos.
However, I'm not sure if the wax is any good at protecting against mud up the sides, so you'd better cut down on wheelspinning across wet fields....
Andrew.

Nice one Jason
I got a big bar of Galaxy chocolate
My son uses some Auto Finesse products for his mobile valeting.
I have Autoglym resin polish but hardly ever use it now, as after I use the car it gets a detail spray that contains carnuba wax, so it's well protected

Re: Happy daddy’s day to all
Yes still laugh at myself for spinning on the mud as it’s one of my pet hates but what a entrance I made .
Yours look amazing and I knew you used the autoglym stuff but never new you had the wax , yes using the clay bar really makes the paint work so smooth I even use it on the glass and it’s amazing how many little chips you find .
Only tip on anybody wanting to clay there car is keep everything really wet and use detailing spray yes it’s about £8 for the autoglym detailing spray but it does a grand job . I only need to wash and do the full treatment once a year and just using the wax spray to remove the odd dust bits .
Funny as I now use all the same stuff as you but it works and does a good job . Andrew how many times do you clay and wax a year ?

Great to here andy and enjoy that chocolate yes I use a carnuba detail spray as it just gets the dust of but keeps that wax shining .also how lucky are you to have a son who does detailing .

I always do a little list for them on the fridge where the sweets are kept , also my daughter who is 11 has to take a book to school every Tuesday and I take her book out and swap it with a Capri club magazine ( the teachers think she’s in to cars )

I'm going to get a dog if he'll buy me some Autoglym High Definition wax every year. That stuff is flipping expensive......Caprifan Rob wrote:I'm very impressed that your dog & cat chipped in too. None of my pets ever did that.
