Wax and re-wax

[JulesV]

I have always used Autoglym SRP on my cars. At the risk of appearing stupid, what is the difference between a polish and a wax?

A polish can do a number of thing but AG for example will cleanse, fill minor scratches and level the paint off. This is what gives the car its shine. A wax will provide protection for the paint and will give some shine factor but not as good as a polish.

For a top finish wash TBM (2 bucket method) always mit not sponge. Dry with car towel. Then polish and wax. Some folk polish, seal then wax.

Thanks. Has anyone tried AG Aqua Wax?

I have used the aqua wax is good if you are in a rush as its applied wet so no need to dry the car. not as good as a polish and proper wax but good and quick

I find it lasts quite a long time too, give it a wash with turtlewax nano stuff and dry it with the towel and still looks like its been freshly done....

Does stretch it after 3 weeks though haha!
