Claying a big car like an Audi IS a pain in the arse!
I know from experience!
But do it, then give it a couple of coats with the Autoglym Super Resin Polish that you already have? (it s a good filler for small scratches and is slightly abrasive as well) follow up with the wax of your choice.
For easy availability go for autoglym Deep Shine or Megs Next Gen.
Then you provided you wash it properly and top up with wax whenever you can be arsed it should be tip top.

For proper saddo results (hello :) ) you need to machine polish, its amazing the diffference it makes on old paint...

I'm not sure I can be arsed with all this claying malarkey. But there obviously is a difference between a polish and a wax, so what is a good wax I can get to go on after the Super Resin Polish or maybe some of the Meguiars stuff as mentioned above.

Here for the craic..

Well yesterday morning it was reasonable weather, so wanting to get something on it sooner than later I gave it a go over with the old Super Resin Polish, I had a 1L bottle in the garage so seemed rude not to. And I have to say it does look well for it. My next step I think is to give it another go, and then get some wax of some kind.

FFS. All I ever did was throw some turtle wax in a bucket and use some old sponge. See that's what's wrong with the world today, too much 'polishing' and not enough 'doing' ...

Claying is great for getting off tar and fine moss/mould that builds up if you don't drive it much. I was looking at mopping kits on ebay with a slow speed polisher (don't use a 10,000rpm angle grinder as I did, you'll blow the mop and fling it around the garage!) and a few mop heads, not a bad price. Great for getting out swurls.

To answer your question, in short no auto Glym am best polish. We try other brands to see if there is better or equal at a cheaper price.
