I think I like it! :up
Prep was clay and polished the horizontal surfaces.
I applied the Super Resin Polish w/ a Sonus blue pad on the PC and removed w/ a Sonus MF bonnet over the stock PC pad. When I washed the car, I left a few sections wet.. the hard water was sure to cause spots.. And it did. And SRP ate em right up.
I used PK1's tip (in my Autoglym tips thread) about spraying the Extra Gloss Protection on to the pad.. worked like a charm! I used very little product to do the entire car.. the bottle should last me for a very long time! I actually took before and after pictures of my little sprayer, but the camera was focused on the background in the before picture so it's pretty fuzzy.
For the EGP, I started by doing two sections with a yellow foam pad (that reminds me, I need more handi-grip applicators!), then buffed off. Came off very easily, IMHO. After those two sections, I just did the rest of the car then buffed off by hand. Still easy. Didn't have time to let it cure as the directions on the bottle say to do. Maybe next weekend I'll do another coat of EGP and let it sit for an hour or two. Wanna try the MF applicator from Autopia too.
SRP is a thick white liquid. Smells kinda solventy and minty to me. EGP is thin like water but note quite clear, similar smell as SRP. I didn't use the bottles they came in while working, instead opting to transfer small amounts in to other bottles that allowed me to control application better. But just pouring from one bottle to the other, I think both would be a pain to work with. They allow product to flow too quickly to me.
I really like the way that EGP brought out the metallic flake in my paint. I think I got it captured in a picture, but it's not really worth posting. Too zoomed in, just a bunch of teal.
I also like the wet look from EGP.. (ignore dirty wheel well)
The shadows and sun played tricks on my camera. Made the concrete look white. But here's a fun part shade / part sun picture
Without having two products on at once, my eyes aren't able to tell if it darkens the paint or not. Can't comapre old pictures, because of different sun angles and I used a different camera this time.
My fingers can tell a difference though! I ran my fingertips over the paint a couple hours after I was done and had to rub em together because I thought that some oil or something had gotten on them. It felt that slick! Noticeably slicker feeling than other products I've used in the past.
Another fun shot... I think my paint is dripping off :bounce
I have a 45 mile one way commute through cornfields each day. Lots of bugs. When the bugs go away, it'll be time for snow. The car lives under a carport at night.. So I'm hoping for decent durability for winter time, and decent strength to protect against the bugs and salt. The Autoglym twins are supposed to be the British equivalent of the Klasse twins; hopefully they're as good as the Klasse twins seem to be, but I can't compare because I've never used Klasse.
Both bottles had plastic around the cap with something about being made under ISO 9001 standards. I don't know how many other products are made under those standards, but it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that about the Autoglym products.

Plan on doing two coats on her car (it's garaged), and adding weekly coats to my car until it's too cold.
