Autoglym Products - Any good?

I noticed that my local store is carrying this stuff now and never seen it before.

Are these products any good? They were priced well above the regular everyday stuff and look "professional"

Any one use this stuff?

They are a boutique brand that walmart basically bought out. The prices you see are marked down substantially.

Pick 'em up! Autoglym is amazing stuff!

Walmart hasn't cheapened the formulas and turned it into a crap product in the process?

I don't visit the car wash section of Walmart often, but I haven't seen Autoglym there.

Honestly, the people of Walmart bother me so much that I avoid the place at all costs.

My neighbour is a Ford freak...don't hold it against him...and he swears by Autoglym. Says it is the best stuff. He has a proffesional detailer that polishes his Ford GT for him twice a year and uses Autoglym products. It looks very good and he maintains the shine using only Autoglym wash and spray. I've never touched the stuff but he is truly anal about his car and he loves the stuff.

I just saw it in Pep Boys yesterday. Stood out because it was the only thing on the shelf that looked expensive. Also saw an ad in C&D.

I tested it this weekend on an IS250 this past weekend. The price is good but the it gets used so fast. I used half the can for 1 car and that's 2 passes. The results were good but I feel that the price and amount required for the results, it's not justified. I will try to post pics later on the results

Autoglym Bumper Care is a decent exterior plastic protectant that I have used over several years without apparent deterioration in finishes.

Their Extra Gloss Protection is incredibly easy to apply and gives a good, clear, wet finish esp if used with their polish (red label). May not be quite up to the standard of Wolfgang/Zaino et al, but pretty close with less effort and all but as durable in my experience.

The other product I've used is their leather cream - nice odour, ever so slightly darkened the beige leather, but left a nice matte lustre - only one grade above the original matte finish and not greasy or sticky at all. Worked well on interior plastics also.
