    I usually just use the wax and wash left over from when I clean the car, though I have been known to use Autoglym after the spring clean.

    My daughter and I both had new cars within a few weeks of one another and both came with the 'free gift' of a complete set of Autoglym products, in huge bags similar to those used by the Ambulance Service when attending a major incident! Even if we cleaned our cars every day, we've got enough of the stuff to last years.

    At last ... I've found a use for some of that Autoglym! :yahoo:

    I've never used a big bag of autoglym as a paramedic. Would bring the stretcher up a treat though. Give us something to do on standby other than looking on gardening forums.

    Dare I say, it'd be useful for polishing up your skills? (No .... thought not!)

    After all the very good and learned suggestions, I just grab the 'Flash spray with bleach' from the kitchen.
