I've used AutoGlym for decades, but Zymol is now my prefered paint treatment.

I have to admit that I was struggling with how the teflon would stick to the paintwork (given the problems that they have attaching it to non stick saucepans).

As far as the hosepipe ban, I'd use a watering can with the rose thing removed.

When i say ages, my wifes Freelander is used like a Beirut taxi! Her opinion is "why wash it when it'll get dirty tomorrow" but still she insists on me removing my shoes in "her house!"

Autoglym have recently brought out a new formula in a revised red and white bottle which apparently is better than original and priced the same. :thumbsup Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

Seems their marketing people haven't differentiated between polish and protection - it sounds like the sort of thing home shopping channels sell, and the eBay guff is hardly helping. The problem is identifying exactly what it is before dismissing it as useless (I understand some well-respected products might contain some PTFE, but it certainly doesn't bond to your paint like it does to a frying pan).
