A LITTLE EXTRA BLOG (have a read) 🔽
So this was one of the first ever car cleaning products I purchased along with the bodywork shampoo when I first became a car cleaner all those years ago. And I chose this because it gave me the confidence to explore car cleaning and it showed me that I could transform a car with very little effort.
I found it had the potential to make more money from up sells and I could use it on car wheels and door jams too. Its definitely a favourite amongst the classic car community and many of my customers love the instant results that it provides for the those weekend drives in the summer.
Ok so the durability isn't the greatest in the world but its all about compromises and what I discovered quickly was the massive market for offering polish as an upsell and not part of a package. Remember this: If cars stayed clean all the time we would be out of business!!!
I will show you how to use autoglym super resin polish and recommend the best conditions for polishing your car by hand. Many people ask me how often should they use it because they worry about removing the paint. And to be honest even though there is abrasives its not got enough to strip away your paint. So 3-4 times a year would be maximum use. You are better off protecting it on top with a wax and before you say "can't i just ceramic coat it afterwards" well the answer is no because its far better to carry out a proper clay bar decontamination & 2 stage machine polish as Autoglym has fillers which just mask the defect (Not remove them)
So this is ideal for anyone who runs a mobile car wash or static unit and if you want to know more about what goes into the day in the life of a car cleaner then make sure you subscribe as we have a mini documentary coming soon.

My 1st I was 18 and used this. Now 52 and still use it.
The best for me.
Same here, my first encounter with car detailing. A rag, a car and some super resin polish. It's one of those things you immediately recognize by the smell alone.... nice...
Interesting video mate. I’ve been using super resin for the past 20+ years, having entered numerous cars in shows. What’s interesting is that super resin is very versatile. For example, I’ve removed light scratches permanently (you mention it’s only temporary, but with the right tool it can be permanent as the product can be manipulated) The technique for this is to actually use something a bit better than an applicator pad, as you cannot ‘work’ the product properly. I tend to use very soft flannel cloths. I can even use a little water that can basically grade the scratch out. To be honest, I’m probably the last of a dying breed of detailers. I don’t use machines, everything is done by hand, but every car is always finished, knowing that I haven’t eaten into the laquer. 100% autoglym super resin is my go to in my tool kit 😀👌🏾
That's awesome bet you still make a good living though without a machine 👌
I never knew that someone else new more about detailing then epic car
Dying breed! Reminds me that when I left school I went into classic car restoration and that was all hand finishing and preping so you could (feel) the panel. After painting it was 1500 wet and dry and elbow grease no polishing machine that way no risk of (going through the edges) Try getting a school leaver now to not use any form of polisher,da sander
I’m no expert detailer, but for me, Autoglym and Meguirs are no-nonsense, decent quality products that do exactly what they say on the tin.
Even though I occasionally try other brands, I always end up going back to Autoglym and Meguirs.
I'm over the pond, but this was one of my first hand polishes. I was always impressed by the simplicity of the product and results with minimal effort.
yeah its a classic
This is the most sensible and clear video about SRP on YT. I've never had anything else but first class results from this product. Never thought the new version had abrasives in it. Just wish it had anti UV properties.
Thank you so much appreciated the kind words 🙏
Ive used this for years and ALWAYS finish of as a top coat AUTO GLYM EXTRA GLOSS PROTECTION. its a thin spirity polish but gives a mirror finish! Dries FAST. I started if using my old dads 'beeswax' Simoniz waxpolish it smelt amazing and gave a great finish on the 60's!
Refreshing to see someone talk positively about this product and Autoglym generally. The amount of snobbery around SRP that I've seen from detailers really rubs me up the wrong way!
It is a super product and very durable.
Well, it has the approval of the British Royal family (according to Autoglym's labelling), so that's always a good sign. I actually mostly use Autoglym products anyway. They all work perfectly!
Haha. I see what you did there
@@whatthe6532 Unintentional pun actually.. but I'll take it!
Simple but sound advice for anyone starting out Dave. Well done 👍. Dad
Thanks Dad 😁🕺
Great 👍. Nice to have your father watching!
Great video Dave.
I often to use this as 'top up polish' now and then , always get great results 👍quick and easy too.
Thanks Warren
A nice overview, used this product for many years and thanks to amazon who supply for oversea clients
This is a great product,bin using it since the early 90s.i also use autoglym high definition wax now.its harder to use but is superb and will last for ages.a good video.
Thank you yes it doesnt get enough credit
I love this polish on my metallic black Honda, the shine is amazing, I have tried so many and this is the only one i will ever use now.
Nice one glad it works for you
Autoglym is excellent kit the tyre dressing is brilliant 😊
I was using SRP on my car at the weekend to get a few paintwork marks out. Works a treat. I don’t care if people slag off auto glym products, I use several of their products and am always happy with the results.
The only people that slag it off only do that because it makes them feel big when secretly they love it. Detailing has become so stuck up and toxic. People will always discard anything if the crowd does sadly. Thanks for watching 🙏
Aqua wax is all I use now. It’s replaced all the trim, rubber, drying aids etc. Shampoo, AW and fast glass is all.
@@Cous1nJack does the autoglym aqua wax also restore faded bumper colour?
@@Intz51 to some degree.
With 30yrs detailing experience super resin will always be my go to everytime .
Yeah you can't beat it
Always used Autoglym products and always will. SRP is just the go to polish.😊
Completely agree, I ride classic bikes which have large areas of polished alloy, I used to use only metal polish on the alloy (Solvol Autosol) This was fine, but it quickly oxidized and dulled down. One day I had a brainwave and decided to use the same Autoglym Super Resin polish that I already used on the paintwork, but on the alloy too, immediately after using the metal polish.. This was a revelation !.. I was amazed at the amount of black metal polish residue it removed and it left a much longer lasting shine than just using the metal polish did. I use it on pretty much everything on my classic bikes now, including the frame, chrome wheels and exhausts.. Autoglym Super Resin polish really is fantastic stuff and it's the only polish I've used for many years now
Its a great product, the other down side is you need to keep it away from non painted plastic trim or you get white staining which can be hard to remove.
I've been using autoglym for 40 years and remember when the only place I coukd get it from was the national motorcycle museum. It's easy to use and even in sunlight good on chrome as well. I've tried other polishes but there difficult to remove if left on.
Great video. I’ve used this for the last 21 years - always does the job 👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you
Excellent video I'll change the way I polish my car in future well done mate 👍
We also have this brand here in Australia!
I have used this and a product called Carlack 68 and have had awesome success from both. Frankly I cannot tell the difference between the brands.
My Chrysler is a shiny red (on my channel) and it just pops after a polish. I try to do it about once a year as my cars never see rain,mostly in the shed they are.
Another great video Dave,
been using this stuff for a while now after watching one of your video's
I use it on my Black gloss roof as you know I have no water to clean the car and use waterless wash and wax on the rest of the car. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Mark. It's a classic and think people are way too harsh on it. It's great for beginners and people who aren't too obsessive about detailing. I love using it
I had a '70 Mercedes c250 with blue finish. Resin polish was the best product that worked on it. The same went for a '76 burgundy colored 240D. But, it wasn't permanent.
Great video. SRP has been a solid product for me for far too many years. Yet not just paint. On VAG group cars the 'painted' chrome trim that water spots so easily can brought back using SRP. ( better still is you wax it from new) Look forward to your next video.
Thanks Paul, next video coming this afternoon
Nice one mate. I always use this stuff and is always pretty cheap to buy which is amazing considering the quality of the product.
Yep it does its job so well
Great tutorial, I’ve always used it followed with AG’s extra gloss protection. Is the ceramic spray better?
"people will easily discard things if the crowd does sadly" epic quote. Used autoglym polish since I bought my 1st car. Really impressed with meguiars 3 in 1. Tried to post a link here to hot deals thread for ag srp where I posted a link to your previous ag vid to balance some of the negative comments but utube removed it
Sometimes that happens mate dont worry. Negative comments dont worry me. People are smart enough to make their own minds once they try it
Ive used this for 20 years. I always use A G extra gloss protection afterwards as wellthe muck and rain just comes straight off
I recently had a bad experience with a hand car wash, it's left a film on the paintwork. I have washed it today and want to get into polishing step by step. This video is great for starters like myself.
Awesome it's a great polish. Doesn't last forever but still decent
Very good video Dave 🔥💎 SRP is one of the most popular product on the market and does what it says on the tin pretty good. Tried an other glaze type product which bad “hype” around, but SRP buy far the “best” for my taste 👍🏻 brilliant demonstration and top tips in your video, I thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you Mate
Thanks mate it deserved its own video this one 🏆
Stunning finish, Absolutely love the ceramic spray, Done my car with it today great product. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Alan 🙏
Good advice Dave, made me laugh when you told the Rover 400 tale 😄
My dad didn't laugh lol
Hi Dave,it's been a while I used this SRP,back in 2002 I polished my Mini with it and worked very well.i must buy some more and give mine a go.
Think it's been tweaked few times since then but never fails to impress me ⭐🏆
Great vid dave. Great tip in cleaning out the lid after use👍.. also sure i have a bottle somewhere😎👍👍
Cheers Paul yeah I bet everyone has it somewhere lol
Used it for the first time ever. My Bentley FS looks like new.........................it is great stuff. (from Continental Europe btw)
Amazing stuff that's great
100% with you on this, tried a few other brands... nothing comes close for ease of use and pricewise
thank you
This has been my go to for decades. I do detail and have all the other kit including rotary polishers etc etc, but hands down the first polish of a car or to just dress it up is always AG. The only polish I can use directly in sunlight (I know) that actually comes off after!
Yeah me too. It gets a hard time but honestly it's job is to make a car look nice and it certainly does it
@@epicautomotivedetailing without doubt, it does what it says on the tin
Always sound advice Dave. Good video 👍🏼
Thanks mate
Nice, this obviously works for you. The dusting and the longevity were deal breakers for me, even when I used EGP on top, and used it sparing these 2 things were an issue. I find what works better for me, and solves all the issues from SRP, is Megs Wash Plus+, as an abrasive shampoo then a decent wax to top it off. For me its way easier to control on hot days, and this gives a lasting shine, even after the wax has popped its clogs :)
Fair play. It's definitely not perfect by any means. It's great for those nonsense sell your car scenarios 😉
Me too! Never since found a polish I like more 👌
I've been into detailing for about 15 years or so.
Have to say, I've never really been all that bothered about SRP.
I've had more than 1 bottle over the years and can't say ive ever used it, stood back and thought "that looks better"
In terms of AIO products, I'm not a big fan, but i preferred Zaino over this.
I'll always, always prefer a real, pure polish to sort the paint out and and a separate coating to keep it that way.
Its a good product their are better versions from other manufacturers. But if it works for you and it is very easy to get your hands on win. I think the bilt hamber cleanser polish wops it for filling properties, endurance and just how much stuff it pulls out the paint.
Very good advice Dave I always carry a bottle with me.
Thanks mate appreciate it ⭐
Haha that half a bottle is certainly true. I did that a year ago with a new paste wax. I used it when I started it was full and finished with about half remaining. Just felt like a thin coat wasn’t my style back then and that it wouldn’t spread fully.
I've been using Auto Glaze for years. I think it's called Glare Professional Polish, now. It's not actually a regular polish. It has tiny beads of glass in it, so it needs to be buffed at just the right point of drying, or it will scratch the paint, so it has to be applied in small areas at a time.-Put it on, wait a bit for it to nearly dry, buff it, then do the next area.
It dries hard and ultra-shiney like glass. If you've seen those highly reflective, wet-look, paint jobs on high end cars, that's the finish Glare gives.
Bird droppings and tree sap don't stick to it. Usually I just need a tissue or maybe a bit of water too, and anything on the paint just falls off.
I will be buying some Autoglym Super Resin Polish to put on as a top coat, though. Just for that added protection. I mostly use Autoglym's products. All their products I've tried work exactly as they say they well (despite my initial scepticism).
Waaao fantastic product ! Thanks!❤
Great video for a great product. Autobead Polish is great but turns to a thin liquid after a few weeks whereas SRP stays the same consistency.
Thank you very much. The cold can effect some polishes but AG SRP is always a winner
I have used AutoGlym SRP for a long time, easy to use with minimum effort and it gives long lasting results.. I also use it on PVC window frames about once a year and it keeps them white and the shiny surface shrugs off bird and spider poo, as well as stains from leaves etc... Too much snobbery about care care, apparently if you do not spend half your life using clay bars and various waxes you are not keeping your car clean...and are a hopeless case. I also use SRP about once a month on plastic headlight covers which helps with UV damage and keeps the bugs splats from sticking. I would argue that the shine from SRP is pretty permanent as I only clean our cars about once a year and they always look shiny - and every time it rains it brings back the shine. Good for alloy wheels as well.
Great to see your love for SRP endures Dave, it is one that always performs and makes any car look better - as long as it is not a matt car 😁
Yes i love it and wont stop using it either
You can use after srp paint renovator?
I used it many many year's ago on my motorbikes great results
Yeah it's legendary
Great video Dave, will definitely have to try it out👌
Thanks mate. It's brilliant but you just need to go light or you get powdering
@@epicautomotivedetailing Thanks will keep it in mind👌
Couldn't agree more I've used this and the super resin protector since 1994
Dave, quick question, I'm trying to keep a new white VW van looking good, I use super resin polish, would putting on two coats be a waste of time & product? Thank you
100% agree, I'm a super amateur, I swear by this because it's ridiculously easy to remove. I just go all over the car with it in 20 minutes and spend 10 minutes to remove.
Great informative video and great products
Thank you
If Carlsberg did car polishes, then this is what you would get, I’ve been using it for nearly 40 years along with the extra gloss protection. Its easy to use and im well happy with the results - and so it seems is everyone who happens to walk past my vehicles and comments on how nice and shiny they always look.
Well said
Thanks for the advice, great video. I’m struggling to get rid of a Smokey smell from a car I have just purchased. Tried Chemical Brothers New Car Smell and Autoglym Autofresh and some air fresheners. All work for a little while, then it comes back. The smoke smell is not that strong, just annoying. Can you recommend anything please? Thanks, Lee
Epic vid as usual
thank you
What do you use to clean the applicator pads please?
Do you use the ceramic wax straight after the super resin polish? And is it applied to dry panels or does the car have to be wet?
I use autoglym products and I like them easy to use does give a good finish. I also use extra gloss protection but I do find that they don't seem to long, water beading appears to stop after a few weeks.
its very short term but ive always believed its better to use ceramic spray after every clean to keep it topped up
Ooh, maybe that's why the polish was getting powdery.. I used too much! Thanks for the information :) I used to put Extra Gloss after polish, but I might switch for something else.
So many amazing choices for a top up couldn't pick one myself
Excellent video 🙏🏻
Thank you 😁
Great vid, very informative, thanks.
Thanks mate appreciate it 🙂
Another great video
Thank you very much
I did mine the other day and added the hd wax to seal it for the winter coming months
Haven't tried hd wax yet but going to feature it soon
Thank you for the video Dave 👍. Autoglym SRP is great all in one polish and good value. Cleaner waxes or all in one polishes are definite must haves for anyone cleaning cars. They really enhance a car's paintwork in such a short time. Hahaha like you I remember using way too much product in the beginning. I used to think the more I used the better the result would be 🤦. Little did I know eh 🤣.
Glad I wasn't the only one 😂
Would you always polish the whole car or could you do a couple of small areas?
hi i bought this polish. can i use meguiars hybrind ceramic spray after applying autoglym srp?
Great video Dave, you can't beat this stuff, so easy to apply and take off, great advice as always 👍👍
Thanks Eamon. Not sure I'll be Polishing a car in this weather today 🌧️
@@epicautomotivedetailing it's not too bad hear in galway 😅😅
An excellent product for classic cars with thin delicate paint.
Every classic car normally gets this as they hardly get used apart from the shows
Can this be used over a paint protection like GuardX?
I’m guessing you would suggest waxing or spray sealing directly over the SRP, not to panel wipe it off first?
If it was good enough for her majesty then it's good enough for me! Great video, been using auto Glym since my father Dennis Pritchard bought it.
I drive a semi, deliver petro, use Turtle Wax Ceramic coat once a year, a regular wax once a month on the tractor, and a spray detail/wax daily while waiting to load or unloading. Would this be good for my monthly wax, or will I get build up?
Im starting my own valet/detailing service next year and i'm going to incorperate this into my formula's , for a "little" extra , they can choose this option in combination with a ceramic spray or paste wax to make it last as long as possible. Its fast & easy to apply and gives amazing results.
Customer is going to be happy with the result but ofc informing him/her that this is not going to be a permanent option. but i think for the price difference in machinal polishing and applying this product, some people are gonna tend more to the SRP and to pay that "little" extra instead of the higher budget of machinal polishing... (i think).. :)
Exactly. Always give the customer what they want. If the car looks too good for too long they won't call you back. So in theory srp is a real money maker
i brought 2 in 1 turtle polish and wax and makes a difference i do it every year
I think durability is a difficult one, a few products like the new turtle wax ceramic paste wax are very durable in terms of detergent resistance but don't last that long in real world conditions. SRP's protection is not that resistant to chemicals but in my experience it lasts well against the elements, still beads after a few months on a car that's kept outside. Bodywork shampoo conditioner is designed to not strip it, so they make a good combination.
Exelent vid! How long do you wait before putting on extra gloss protection or speedwax?
Pretty much straight away should be fine
Quick question for anyone really What are the best applicators on the market for this stuff ? Don’t really want to go down the machine tunnel !!!!
Can you use this on powder coat
What is the polishing pad that you are using?
Can Resin polish use on car with metallic paint?
I find on dark cars this product shows up white in small chips defects etc ? That why I no longer use ?
Thank you for a good video.
Can I spray on a ceramic coating after polishing with this product since it contains wax?
Ceramic sealants yes but coatings no I wouldn't. You really want it to bond to a perfectly prepped paintwork
This stuff is great if you want to hand polish a car in less than 2 hours. Agree though, stick a regular wax on afterwards to protect it.
Love Auotglym products - used them for years.
Can't go wrong with them
@@epicautomotivedetailing the only product that I feel could be better is the wheel cleaner, but it does the job.
Dear sir again great video.
Machine applying SRP can reduce time consumption??? Maybe with a waxing pad or a very light polish pad? Thanks keep up
No not really because your find the friction/ heat can speed up powdering if you use slightly more than you should
Absolutely love and swear by autoglym super resin polish I occasionally use it on my black coloured Ford Focus it gives that mirror finish and so easy to apply and buff off! What more could you ask for?
Exactly people who say it's bad are nuts lol. It does a job and doesn't even claim massive durability. It's Just a brilliant go to product for polishing your car 🏆
Good in the 80's but much better out there now that don't leave white powder residue over the bodywork no matter what the weather is doing
Used super resin on every car ive owned,far better than all these overpriced products out now...top it off with autoglym extra gloss protection and your on a winner..
The original which came out in the 1980's in a round bottle was much better for depth of shine, but did sadly dust up more. I remember you bought it from dealerships, my purchases were from a Ford one and not Halfrauds.
Good old days when detailing was just car cleaning and people were just happy 😁
hey dave i have a question for you, can i use infinity wax express sealent insted of wax after polishing?
to be honest i wouldn't because it just adds more work. The sealant alone works wonders after the last rinse
Need to give my a good valet and clean and all autoglym products will be out.
Wanted to do it today, but the weather again is rubbish. 😢
its just the worst right now this weather
So how long does it last then?
Im a 'pro detailer' as the Muricans call them in the UK
I can't use SRP.
Im allergic to the stuff.
If it gets on my skin, even if I wash it off straight away. I get a big red sore patch where it was.
Just using it and a hole appears in my glove. Skin cracks and sore hands.
If I accidentally touch the autoglym'd panel in t-shirt weather. Sore patch.
It also gets on my chest and makes breathing difficult.
Great video Dave! Was that your come face lol 😂
No idea why I did that lol
Nice !
Dave, What a brilliant video explaining SRP. Always got some in the garage and yes I have used too much before!!!
Also just gone out and cleaned nozzle as it was thick with polish!!.
After applying SRP what wax would you recommend?
Keep up the good work in helping novices like me. 👍
Thanks Ian hopefully that lid trick helped then. Honestly so many waxes to choose. Hard to pick a winner. I've not tried odk waxes yet but featuring loads soon
@@epicautomotivedetailing what is odk? ( Sorry)
Just found odk wax's!!
Any chance you could do a video on Bilt Hamber wax v Autoglym?
@@iansharp0306 yes I can but to be honest it's difficult for people to tell difference they both amazing
@@epicautomotivedetailing look forward to it, cheers
Hi and thanks for your useful video.
I used SRP several times. The problem that I have is, after I finished the job and buffe it up the day after a lot of dust and dirt from air has set on my car budy from environment.
I do not know the reason?
Can you recommend what shall I do, or how can I sort it out, please? thank you.
That's just unfortunate mate. Most polishes have antistatic properties I believe so not the polish
