Meguiar’s Ultimate Polish
Another fine product from those clever people at Meguiar’s, this Ultimate Polish is subtitled ‘Pre-Waxing Glaze’. Similar to the Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine it contains the mildest of abrasives to remove fine swirl marks and imperfections while delivering a deep shine ahead of finishing off with a wax application. Designed to work with dark coloured cars in particular, Ultimate Polish is also safe to use with all gloss finishes and clear coats too.

Greased Lightning Showroom Shine
Although the label says car polish, Greased Lightning is a bit more than that. It allows you to skip the car wash altogether - you spray it all over, including glass and metalwork as well as paint - wipe off the dirt with one clean cloth and then buff to a shine with another one. As well as cutting down the amount of water you use.

The polish can be buffed using your hands of a dual action machine. After being allowed to haze over for up to 15 minutes, this film should then be buffed off carefully.

Meguiar’s A3316EU Quik Detailer
Ignore the dodgy spelling and this timesaver from car care experts Meguiar’s could be just what you’re looking for. Designed as a product to use in between washes rather than immediately after one, it just requires a quick spray on and wipe off to remove dirt without damaging paintwork. It also can be used as a lubricant with a Meguiar’s clay bar if you’re going for an ultra-quality finish and because it is pH neutral it won’t remove previous wax applications either.
DetailedOnline 500ml PTFE Car Polish Glaze
Shine and protection is the promise with this polish from DetailedOnline, thanks to its PTFE content. For those that aren’t material scientists, Polytetrafluroetheylene is hydrophobic and so slippery it’s the only surface that a gecko can’t stick to, making it the perfect thing to cover your car with. It’s easy to apply and can be layered up for additional protection, as well as waxed over to leave you with a shiny car you might not have to wash for quite some time.

Demon Shine Spray Gun
Quick, easy and cheap are the keywords with this product from CarPlan. Designed as a post-wash polish, unlike most alternative products Demon Shine just requires you to connect the bottle up to your hosepipe and spray on for a high gloss finish. Either leave the car to dry or buff off with a suitable cloth.
