Auto Glym Super Resin Polish is 100% filler, no abrasives so won't take care of scratches permanently.

the guy on the stall said it was some stuff he got from a supplier who used to sell to the high end of the car market dealers but he went bust.

You definitely will come out skint if you pay halfords prices for this stuff! I reckon they're a good ?2 more than other suppliers.
Try http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/ or http://www.carnaubawaxshop.co.uk/
Both cheaper than Halfords and really quick delivery

I'd be interested in other stuff tho, as Mer doesn't do rubber, or bumpers/grilles etc.

The hard wax, has a mix of Carnauba and Montan wax (the dark purple haze does anyway) you apply it by hand, and its the next step up from Retail Meguires and Autoglym.
Dodo Juice is not cheap, but i have had a hard wax tub for about 3 years now and less than half way through it.

At the moment, I only use Mer product, which gives a pretty nice deep shine

Do you mean you need a cleaner for this stuff?

but you can only apply Mer to metalwork and glass, it doesn't clean rubber nor plastic, so yeah, I need recommendations on cleaner for the grey bumpers and the grilles/side trims etc…

Thank you very much for Info :wink:
Maybe able to buy some Mk1 Ownersclub gear now
The dodojuice wax is Good also, I have seen it being applied,
But didnt like the idea of rubbing on to your hands and applying without use of cloth or something,
comes in a Soft and a Hard wax and is expensive but lasts for months, the tub will last you years!!!

Re: applying with your hands
Applying with you hands makes if go alot further TBH, due to the cloth absorbing 75% of the wax or liquid wax. Also if you feel slight grit on the paint you will stop, however if you use a cloth or applicator pad you can't feel a thing, so compound the swirls with more.
You look a bit of an idiot rubbing a tub with your finger tips and rubbing it on the paint work, but its a much better way to apply any wax.
Also a Clay bar are perfect for removing the rubbish that builds up on the paint over time.

Ah ok. An all purpose cleaner will probably do, you could use a paintbrush to agitate it, then leave it to dwell for a bit. I've used Bilt Hamber Surfex HD which is excellent, and I've read good things about Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner and Autosmart G101, but I've not tried either.
They you can just use a trim dressing to make them nice and shiny - there are loads of these about, most people like Auto Glym, Meguiars, Poorboys etc will do one.
Mer probably do something that could be used, but I don't know their products at all :dontknow:
