Meguiars Swirl Remover vs AutoGlym Super Resin Polish

Today I compare Meguiars Swirl Remover (Swirl X) and AutoGlym Super Resin Polish. Both of these products are widely available, and if you see these on your local automotive store shelves, which would/should you choose?
Both products are applied to my truly horrendous test bonnet paintwork, can either of then revive it?
This test covers both application by hand, and by machine polisher.

Good video Dave, allways enjoy seeing these kind of tests. Very good results out of the auto glym when applied via machine 👍

[@BigRich110]

I was only thinking something similar before when i had used Srp that some how the depth in the paint was much better another great video once again

[@AyyR-tx3gg]

Fantastic comparison. Just what I was looking for thanks

[@crazycressy7986]

Thanks Dave and well done on the 4k subs 🤘

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Thanks Pete. 🍻

[@SparkleanAutos]

Very good video Dave... I think the majority of us used SRP and some point yet I think from a lot of people (not all!!) there's an attitude of brand snobbery towards it now... But for hand application, and particularly for beginners, it's a very good product to use and very safe! Personally, I think we should be encouraging the next generation to start off with the same types of products! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

As expected Dave, great video on the two products. I have always had a soft spot for Autoglym, quite often find myself going back to some of them👍

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Me too Martin. I've got a box full on the shelf, every now and again I reach for the interior cleaner or the tyre shine, of even the Extra Gloss Protection.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Good side-by-side demo there Dave. I have a feeling that SRP looks better due to it's fillers and wax. It would be interesting to see both panels after a few goes with high PH shampoo and panel wipe. Always a little sceptical, me 😎

[@LAW-fv6ys]

Also after polishing headlights with Megs ultimate compound I use the SRP to seal the lense for a nice sparkle and protection. Bling bling baby yeah....

[@simongardner3654]

Great comparison, I've got both of these, but I rarely use either.

[@seanpaul3050]

Worst thing about using Auto Glym. When you open the stupid cap and polish splatters all over the place. You'd think they would have changed the design by now.

[@umaralvi1124]

Very helpful. Thanks

[@voosle]

Good job mate

[@WestfieldFreshAir]

SRP vs Tripple would be very interesting. These are fantastic comparisons. So many YT detailing channels do not cover application by hand in my opinion.

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

I have done Tripple vs AD Cherry Glaze if that's of any interest to you 😉

[@WestfieldFreshAir]

@@DetailingandtheBeast I've seen that thanks. Holding out on going to machine polishing. Trying to find 'best' way of getting good results. Currently use Gtechniq P1 which has no fillers, but am hearing that filling is best way of getting good finish without using a DA.

[@LAW-fv6ys]

I use Meg's ultimate compound first then SRP to finish both with a DA polisher and orange foam pad and it works like magic. My metallic lava grey audi pops after this method. Definately I recommend SRP for a simple hand application which is easy every few months to keep a car looking mint.

[@skyb0yTube]

Awesome video. I'm curious about the results by hand if you would have used a cutting pad

[@nekite1]

My favourite Autoglym product is their Instant Tyre Dressing - the mutt's nuts for what it is, but also use SRP and Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax for the bodywork.

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Some good choices!

[@nekite1]

@@DetailingandtheBeast Thanks - I lavish all my attention on an Alfa Romeo 159 ti Sportwagon - 2010 model finished in ridiculously named Alfa Rosso Red. But it is a looker on the road - motorway journeys are quite enjoyable, because most cars just move over just to see what the hell it is I'm driving, which makes for a relaxed journey.

[@neilgrandin8891]

Working times, speed of rotation and pad density all have an impact on finished result, if a rotary was used I think meguiars would way exceed the fillers contained in srp especially after a wash or two

[@jonsholloway]

Did NOT get a notification for this, only been waiting for this for a year!

[@jonsholloway]

Bollocks, that's the swirl remover in the bin the and unbox the super resin and invest in a proper dab (and a whole new polish) in the future.

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Backlog mate, huge huge backlog. When you've got 5 mins I'll show ya the list on my phone on stuff to do 😂😂

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Have you got the bell icon set? You arent the first to mention this is happening. Been like it for a few months now. 🙄

[@darwinortiz6394]

Weldone .Your explanation was great. Can you do a comparison of Autoglym wax vs chemical guys.

[@res5ekt]

it would be great to measure at start and at the end how many microns of clearcoat was taken by each polish....

[@oursulaert]

Thanks

[@HaveOneWithHans]

Wow man!!! What pad did you use for it?

[@gamingmadforever6363]

Hi, Would it be pointless using super resin polish if my car is ceramic coated??? I have light scratches and swirls coming back . It was only done 9 months ago with 2 year coating . Any advice would be appreciated

[@skodakatie7341]

Great video, really enjoyed it, I’m surprised that Autoglym super resin polish is as effective at swirl removal!!.

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Very underrated product. Everyone has it, but everyone also overlooks it (most of the time).

[@LAW-fv6ys]

SRP hasn't got any abrasive properties at all, it's a fantastic product which uses resin filler to level the clear coat and hence makes them swirls and light scratches disappear, but after some washes it will show again. So for regular care SRP is great hides any marks without the need to machine compound, but if you want the scratches etc gone for good you must compound first then SRP it from then onwards which what I do. Srp hand applied is so easy wipe on in circular motion (no need to work it in like crazy cos it's not going anywhere once its spread evenly) let dry to a haze and buff off. Don't do it the sun it's really hard to get it off if baked on. Lol ask me how I know. Bicep was pumped though haha

[@simonphillips8941]

Wouldn't it be better using a little water?

[@Lintahlo]

Hand application demonstration is really good helpful. Cheers

[@endoplasmiz]

Thx

[@Rk6505]

Autoglym super resin is more of a filler polish than a correction polish, probably not the polish to use for correction

[@andywhite2930]

Dave great video again. How does the Megs SR compare to its own Ultimate Compound? Or is it essentially the same product. Srp is always a great starter polish as you've said and always one to have in the tool box. You can see why AG don't recommend it on a machine polisher after that test though.

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Probably just because of it being fast drying on the machine. It wouldnt be difficult for them to reformulate SRP, into say " SRP - machine edition" - full of good ideas! As for Megs. I do have ultimate compound, I'd say I find that more aggressive than both of these. It's a good product by machine.

[@andywhite2930]

Yeah great idea on the Srp....when you think AF Triple is machine applicable. I do like the Megs UC. It's easy to use and always one to have in the tool bag a bit like Srp or Triple tbh.

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Me too. I think Tripple edges it for meas it's a bit more oily, so feels nicer to work with.

I wonder how these would compare to Poorboy's Black Hole? Been using AG SRP forever and ever and ever, epic for bringing milky pinky red cars back to life

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Black hole, now there's a blast from the past!

[@maximolotov]

Thank you very much for very valuable review. Could sealant such as Fuso or TW ceramic spray be applied over this Autoglym SRP straight away, or do you have to wait for it to cure please ? Does this SRP full much better, than ordinary paste wax ?

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Paste waxes do sometimes have a great filling ability, that new TW graphene wax for instance and I demo'd that actually in my review. And yes you can put a wax or sealant on top of SRP. 👍

[@maximolotov]

@@DetailingandtheBeast Thank you very much for your Kind reply. That to me, meaning that it will be better to use paste wax alone. Do you mean that ceramic and graphene infused 75 paste wax ?

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Yeah that's the one. I did a test on the black test panel

[@maximolotov]

@@DetailingandtheBeast Much appreciated. I think this Graphene wax will be my only product then, as it fills and lasts . 2 coats for =12 months protection and no cure time. Sounds like a Complete winner.

[@maximolotov]

@@DetailingandtheBeast Where do you buy 75 from please ? None on eBay , or Amazon USA only ?

[@sahhull]

Im a mobile detailer. My work van other than when it rains, was washed around 4 years ago. I dont care what my van looks like, my customers dont care what my van looks like. My customers care what their vehicle looks like after Ive finished. Im very allergic to SRP. If I get a splash on my skin I get a red sore patch. If I forget gloves or get a hole in one... My skin gets red, sore, dries and cracks open. Only happens when I use SRP... So I choose not to use it regardless.

[@hakman239]

I doubt autoglym will do much compared to swirl remover srp is an aio swirl remover is has no fillers just abrasive I think but who knows what the outcome will be Iv used srp for quite a while it’s good stuff not swirl remover tho

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Not giving anything away before the video 😉 but I think you might be slightly surprised (or not) by the outcome. Both of these are just the "typical" products that an average Joe might go into Halfords and start to pick up. Both do claim to remove "minor scuffs and scratches" on their website blurb.

[@alamkhan-oh9jf]

Is that bonnet German or Japanese paint cuz looks damn amazing

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

You hedged your bets... and lost! 😉 French.

[@eno3291]

What about AutoGlym Super Resin Polish vs Meguiars Ultimate Polish?

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Do you mean "Ultimate Compound"? Yeah I do actually have that on my list. Was gonna see how popular these "vs" videos were before committing to a batch more. Got about 6 or 7 different ones on my ideas list.

[@eno3291]

@@DetailingandtheBeast No, Ultimate Polish and Ultimate Compound are 2 different compounds. Ultimate Compound is more aggressive for removing deeper scratches and Ultimate Polish is more gentle for removing light scratches and swirls. Just wondering if i could get almost the same results by using the autoglym stuff because it's easier to find and it's cheaper, in my country at least.

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

@@eno3291 ah ok yeah just looked at it, the blue one not the red one. I got it. I'll have to see, that's another for the list. 😉😂

Same of Meguiars!

Yes this is true, too much talk about professional products vs the 'OFF THE SHELF' consumer products intermating these are inferior. When infact its more about the application and the applicator that makes the difference in the level of finish.

Weird comparison this one, SRP has next to no cut.

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Two widely available products that novices might consider on the shelves of Halfords. Both claim to remove "minor scuffs and scratches". We (hopefully) all already know the differences, but it's worth pointing them out. The results on this one are actually quite interesting.

[@26DX047]

@@DetailingandtheBeast I get your point re. novices One claims to "remove minor scuffs and scratches" and the other "Effortlessly removes swirls", my prediction is one of these will fill the minor scuffs and scratches and cover everything else in dust lol.

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

@@26DX047 the new formula is actually quite low dust, far less than the old formula, wow that was bad. I remember around 20 years ago using it on my very first car, as you did back then, slap it on as you believed it was the product not the elbow grease doing the work! Looked like a cement factory by the time I had finished. 🤣
