Best Car Polishes in 2024

The Autoglym Super Resin Polish is a superb polish that is preferred by a lot of veterans. The Autoglym Super Resin Polish is not about superb protection though but the shine it provides is beyond incredible. The quality of the finish is just amazing and almost equal to the finish you had when you got the car out from the showroom.

The Autoglym Super Resin Polish is not exponentially pricey, it is a few pounds more than the other offerings on average. However, it does come in a 1-liter package which will last a long time. The product is easy to apply as well. First, you’ll need to wash and dry the car surface, then simply apply a thin layer on the paintwork with an overlapping circular motion. After that, you can simply buff it after 30 minutes or so.

The protective qualities of the Autoglym Super Resin Polish are not amazing. The company doesn’t even advertise the product that is providing extra protection. This is purely for the looks and this is exactly why a lot of people prefer this. The sheen on the car is beautiful to look at and the polish does what polish is meant to do; polish. That pun was unintended. For more great car items, check out our guide on windscreen wipers.

The Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax is the best overall car polish for several reasons. The number one reason is its long-lasting nature. The wax lasted around 7 weeks for us and that is amazing. Even its water repellent nature remained intact after 7 weeks, which is unheard of. The made in England product is of top quality and provides exceptional protection.

This is a carnauba wax that provides a rich glossy finish to your vehicles. It is also naturally water repellent so you don’t have to worry about mud sticking or dry water streaks ruining the look of your car. The film Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax produces is also detergent-resistant so you can wash the rest of the car without worries.

The only downside is that the application takes a bit of effort. It is not as easy to apply as other products are but the long-lasting protection and shine make the effort all worth it. The Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax also comes with a 250 ml tin, an applicator pad, and a microfiber cloth. Overall, we are a fan of the long term shine the Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax produces.

The Simoniz Diamond Wax and Polish provide a good shine, polishes the paint, and protects it well. The product is also able to remove spider webbings, swirls, and scratches from the paintwork.

We recommend doing one panel at a time with the Simoniz Diamond Wax and Polish. Don’t overdo the quantity and avoid using it on a hot sunny day and you will be fine. If you are looking for a good quality shine without spending a lot, this is the product for you. If you want the inside of your car to look good as well use a car vacuum.
