What Polish/Wax do you use on your MK1

What Car polish or Wax do you use on your MK1, ive currently been using Autglym super resin polish and Dodo wax find them quite good on Mars red but I want a deeper shine, what do you guys use and what do you thinks best

personally love the autoglym range.  super resin is good to begin, with an extra gloss on top.  I would however say that i have been unsing autoglym HD wax recently and it is great!  Gives a really smooth deep finish (as long as you are starting with something half decent to begin with) and its easier and quicker to apply than a polish!

Im a big Autoglym fan to the paint work is really good I currently have been using Super resin, I think ill try that HD wax

i clay barred mine....then polish with either collunite or turtlewax canuba wax

ye,clay,polish then autoglym hd wax,done the jetta and it shines again,the rain cant get off the paint quick enough too  :wink:

I've used Meguiars wax on my focus and my parents golf, comes out pretty good

Used Autoglym for last 20+ years with good effect. If I can be bothered then use some 'extra gloss' (not Autoglym, turtlewax?) that came 1st in one of the magazine tests.

When I got the Cabrio I used Autoglyms paint restorer then polished after removing about 50 million tar spots (white car!), came up like new.

I'm sure the neighbours think I've got some sort of compulsive disorder as I seem to be out cleaning or polishing one of the cars every other weekend!

Once a year good deep clean with maguiars products but final wax layer is Raceglaze42.
wash throughout the year again with maguiars shampoo then if I need to apply wax during the year just top up with RaceGlaze42.

Personally use meguiars shampoo stuff with two buckets. Then clay and onto some autoglym HD wax it's the way forward (especially as I get it for free )

Cheers guys, alot of you seem to like the Autoglym HD wax, the paint work on mine is very good I just want to get maximum shine

im still a bit old skool and use the Mer wax i have used for years, find its pritty easy to use, gives a good result and is fairly priced

i used to use 3M fine cut polish or red t cut to bring the red from this;


to this;


then i would just use a cap of turtle wax mixed with warm water.

since then the car has been resprayed to get rid of the rust and i only use turtle wax on it and now it looks like this;




one wash and wax every weekend. some people say im sad. but i am very very happy! LOOK HOW SHINY AND RED IT IS!! i love my golf

that looks great you cant beat a red car polished up, I think my neighbours think im sad to I go and polish it in the garage every week and most of the time it hasnt moved

red mk1 golfs are the best

I currently use a new range of products called Kleers.  The prices are reasonable and the results I got were phenomenal.

I had a look at the Kleers website looks good I might have to give that a try

ha ha ha me too!!!   only at the weekends??? i hate winter 'cos i can't clean in the evening after work..

and autoglym for me, works very well i find. just don't put too much on or it is a bit powdery..

When i can be bothered i go for:
Clay - P21s paint cleanser - Poorboys exp - Poorboys natty blue paste wax.

Poorboys exp gives a great deep shine when layered and sadly reveals the wobble in the bodywork where my drivers door was repaired after some chump drove into it.   :roll:

i either use autoglym super resin or simoniz, both give great shine and are easy on/off (helps as im gettin lazy lol)
