    if you use super resin polish then you will need to wax or seal over it after application

    Autoglym super resin polish is a filler based polish and will mask scratches, super resin polish has no cutting or correction properties, so if you do not seal or wax after application the fillers will just wash off the next time you clean the wheels

    Thanks for that.

    So what the best option for the Wax/Seal?

    Also will i also have to seal the paint work too if i use the Polish on the car ??

    Is it just better to use a normal polish on the paintwork then - that has no scratches?

    and if so what?

    if you are going to use Autoglym super resin polish then stick with autoglym and seal it with extra gloss protection

    extra gloss protection is easy to use and you can apply it to all wheels and leave to fully dry before buffing off then you can apply a second coat if required

    how long does it take to fully dry well that depends on the weather when you apply it but i tend to leave it on for minimum one hour before buffing off dead easy to use and will seal over your polish and make the wheels easier to clean in future

    Over the weekend I decided to clean my car . It's a rare thing to be honest.

    The dirt is all gone but now I have very fine scrub marks on the alloy wheels from the rough cleaning with the back of the sponge.

    They are not obviois - unless you go up close and look at the alloys Thankfully.

    Has anyone got any idea how I buff these out.
    Leave it a few weeks and the dirt will cover the marks again...

    For both the wheels and the car you need only 2 products.

    Autoglym Super Resin Polish
    &
    Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection.

    Treat the car bodywork and the wheels the same way

    yes it is best to seal over super resin polish on the paintwork as well but both are fairly easy on easy off none of the rubbing and hard work that you used to get with polish and wax from a few years ago

    I have never used any all in ones so cant help with that
