Hi Ken,
I used Auto Glym and seemed very good. Karmann have a guide to looking after the fabric here :

Ken before owning the crossfire I had been driving Jaguars for the last 10 years. The last one was an xk8 convertible which I had for over three years and my partner drove a BMW Z3 convertible for four years both Jaguar and BMW dealership always recommended Auto Glym for the convertible .


All the way through of owning Jaguars from main dealers they always recommended these products every time and I bought a brand-new X type in 2002 which came with a full selection of Auto Glym products in the boot and my xk8 was always cleaned when at the garage for servicing, problems, etc etc with these products and I can personally say that .I have seen them using the products when I've been waiting for my car and walk round the back to be nosy.

many years ago I owned my own car Valeting business so I am quite fussy who and what is used on my car and the Jaguar guys always wore soft gloves when attending to your car where I used to go.




Jaguar and Aston Martin recommend these products. Our rich accountant has a Aston Martin convertible.

Have any of you used Auto Glym super resin polish? If so, did you find it rather dusty when buffing off? This is due to Auto Glym bulking out the product with chalk.

Meguairs only for me.
