About 2005 for me. It was a bulky 1 litre plastic bottle which I bought to replace my big 5 litre tin of AutoSmart Mirror Image that I ran out of. I thought SRP was equally as good as AS MI, but I found that SRP needed to be worked quickly and thinly as well as frequently having to change applicator sponges to reduce the dusting. The old formula flashed off very quickly. But it was always easy to remove.
It won't replace a good machine polish - but it does a really good job for those who don't want the expense. Kudos to you for using it on trashed paint and showing what result can realistically be obtained as opposed to all these Chemical Guys videos that all start with great paint in the first place. Nice one!.
Those were the days - hose pipe, one bucket, a sponge & a chamois leather. Finish off with a bottle of SRP & buffed off with an old t shirt. Things were much simpler (& cheaper) then.
SRP is always my go-to product whenever I have to work on white paintwork, or to clean up door jambs. A few years ago I used SRP on 3 of our work vans (they were leased and white), they came out so good the paint looked as if they had been resprayed. The leasing company saw how we had transformed their vans when we sent them in for routine servicing, a couple months later they offered us a cracking deal on refreshing our entire fleet with brand spanking new vans. Brilliant product, this.
Haters are gonna hate on this because it's not a "scene" product or enthusiasts choice but it's a solid performer for improving the look of your paint. You demonstrated that perfectly in this video lads! I will admit that I'd rather use my machine polisher these days just out of laziness but SRP can be used by machine too which just speeds up the process.
my DA has been out of action for a while and I haven't bothered getting it fixed. but this weekend I really wanted to give the car a polish. I'd long given all my hand polishes away to friends and was about to buy a bottle of something to use when right at the back of the cupboard popped out a 10 year old bottle of SRP! needed a jolly good shake but did the job well! can't remember how long is good to leave to cure but it was a hot one this morning and I barely left it on a minute or 2 before wiping away as the swipe test seemed to suggest it was ready to go. pleased with the result. I'll admit to becoming a detailing snob (not proud of it) but I've come full circle now, a lot of these AG products are still around because they just work well. plus I honestly couldn't be bothered doing a full decontamination and clay etc, with a few young kids and moaning wife i just wanted a bit of shine on the motor, lovely jubbly 😁
I am from Canada and picked up Autoglym from Canadian tire. Over the years my go to polish wax and clay bar kit have all been from this line. Great product. Underated over here. It’s a must for anyone wanted to take there car up the next level for car care.
I've spent a fortune on various polishes over the years but always come back to SRP. It just works, simple as that. The bottom line is 99% of cars have some form of paint defect in terms of swirl marks. To get these out professionally they will require a machine polish, however no matter how good your wash technique is whether it's a two-bucket wash method, etc. swirls will always come back. SRP is a good filler but also gives a superb shine as shown in this video. It's easy to apply and remove. For best results polish the car in the shade.
Bit daft question but does this sort of thing have any downsides? In terms of taking away any qualities from the paint/ wearing paint down after so many polishes Cheers
@@TranquilityBaseDetailing Yes it works & gave & still giving me results that's is more important than anything else. I would like to see some 50/50 results between autoglym srp vs auto finesse tripple. If TBD gets any chance to make it happen that would be nice to see.
I've never used this one, I went down the Meguiar's route on my early trips to Halfords haha! Looks like it really did the trick here though. Great demo!
To be fair, the megs range at Halfords isn't a bad batch of products, both Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish hold their own. Although ultimate polish is a little poorly named in my opinion.
I went from Autoglym on to meguiars and on to more "detailing" centric products from there. I definitely have fond memories of my Megs days. Well apart from Endurance tyre stuff. Was far too greasy for me.
Great work as always Luke, autoglym srp was first product i used back in 2008-2012 i respect these older brands that got me started and autoglym is local to me in herfordshire. Sadly it's been reformulated past 6-7years or so, its more of a glaze filler now. Old formula had abrasive in it was very good. Since then i tried so many hand polish, the best one from this day i use is Angelwax perfect polish it has micro abrasive brings gloss/clarity to the paint, cleans the paint so well. (Can be used DA or Hand) use Panel wipe down after. Works so well with your lsp Detail Bug nano wax (grab a sample pot) or simplewax armour v2 and Infinity wax diablo, angel wax fifth element, Look forward to more video this spring and summer.
Thank Rahan. I've seen the debate about whether it's abrasive or not and I guess it comes from your explanation that it used to be. I think I've got a pot of Detail Bug Nano. Will have to check though.
@@TranquilityBaseDetailing look forward to seeing Nano wax on the channel, used nano last week. Lovely rich gloss and mostly the beautiful water behaviour. Have a good weekend
The formula was improved a few years back, and there really wasn't any dusting with it. Certainly nothing noticeable, and we were being quite liberal with the amount we used.
ain't it funny how there's still a need/requirement for this type of product...for my entry level service, I use Rupes UNO, on a machine, some swirl removal, filling with silicone & leaving a sealed finish - one stage, one product. Did many of these last year, not everyone wants a ceramic doobreywotsit😜...a super resin vid, Mikey & Lukey 👌👏
I've been thinking about picking up some Uno. There's absolutely a place for these types of products. Like you say, not everyone wants a doobreywotsit😂
Used it about many many years ago and wasn’t really a fan Luke it’s basically a glaze and there’s so many All in ones on the market that beat it the problem is it’s the only one that joe average has heard about bloody good video though you and Michael
To be honest Paul, I'd be hard pushed to think of another AIO that can beat SRP, sure there's plenty that probably match it, but that outright beat it? Not sure I can name any.
Thanks Paul. Like you say it's the one your average Joe is gonna grab and start with. I really wanted to show those at that stage that it's worth the buy.
@@TranquilityBaseDetailing A while back, John at Forensics Details/Unplugged tested SRP against the then-new Meguiars 3-in-1 Wax. The Meguiars won the Forensic test in every respect......... except, of course, price. I've never tried the Meguiars 3-in-1, but I went all posh and bought the 5-litre big-tin trade version of SRP called Radiant Wax Polish, at the same price as this half-litre bottle of Meguiars. It really is the best AIO I've used, it leaves a lovely finish. But it's best BY FAR if the paint is fully de-contaminated and pure-polished first. SRP/RWP is so much more than the filler-heavy forecourt quick-prep product it's also (unfairly) reputed to be.
This polish is great except if you have a dark coloured car with a few stone chips as when the polish dries in them it turns white & the chips really stand out.
We, detailers all started to detail with this awesome product and then completely forgot about it, sorry AG SRP, forgive us 😢 I've bought my first bottle 14 years ago - 2010
Well, I used to had Meguiar's and Auto Finesse. Also been using loads of AG products over the years since I been living in the UK back in the day. Nowadays is huge range of All In One Polishing products and SRP isn't that impressive like 10/15 years ago.. It still does a great job and I bought a bottle today as I really like this company. Also I am using Polish Brands ADBL or Manufaktura Wosku which they also have quality range of detailing products, especially ADBL AIO is impressive and even compareable to SRP.
Mate of mine bought a nova GTC for his first car at 17, wasn't until he tried to insure it that he realised vauxhall didn't make a nova GTC and he had infact bought one of the most expensive cars a first time driver could ever wish to insure, the Nova GTE lol
Love this video. There can be a lot of snobbery around Autoglym and other brands that have been around for a long time but it is great stuff and ideal for those nervous about machine polishing and the more esoteric detailing practices. The gateway drug analogy - brilliant🤣
Paint colour does not matter when it comes to car cleaning products. I'd just make sure you've cleaned the paint properly if you're going to be rubbing this on it.
Hi,I've have used this in the past on my Mini,it did a great job on the paint work,I don't know whether or not it's improved.still a good polish to use.i moved to Meguiars now.
@@stevenjones19-m8i I've never used that, my experience with meguiars is limited to the Ultimate Compound and Polish and their 105 and 205 compounds, and their interior qd
SRP is very easy to use, BUT it requires time and patience if your car paint is scruffy. Ian from the HubNut channel once used SRP followed by ValetPro Beading Marvellous to attempt to put the shine back on his old red Skoda Favorit Estate. The thinking was there, but the end result was very blotchy, due to no time spent on preparation which was most important.
Should you then wax the car after? I bought this today to wash tomorrow after being quoted £450 for a “correction” thought this kit for £20 wouldn’t harm and great if I get the results I’m looking for.
A correction will remove all or most of the damage you see here. This will hide it. It would definitely benefit from a wax or sealant. Something like Autoglym's extra gloss protection would be suitable after unless you've got some wax already to use.
@@TranquilityBaseDetailing thanks for the reply. Reason I thought I’d need correction is due to swirling of the clear coat on a car I purchased in December, thankfully my car is not in this condition. If I do decide to go for a full correction do you recommend anywhere / company?
My used car came "polished", more like scratched and I think they used this. I have heard it just fills slight scratches which I noticed on my car after one non contact wash. Still not sure.
It does fill them. Likely your used car was prepared with a "glaze" which is designed only to fill scratches. They wash out very quickly but do give the paint a nice shine when freshly applied.
Yes I thought that. I noticed spider web scratches most probably from bad wash techniques. I am using a da polisher and some light cutting compound followed up by polish and then a ceramic (loosely called) wax by Mequiars. I have hand corrected issues in the past and when I collected the car the salesman said " I had your car polished" to which I thought Ahhhhhhh NOOOOOOO.
@@RBcymru I hate when they do that. When I had some respray work a few years back I had them take notes not to wash the car. Came to pick it up and found some junior drying it with a rubber blade. Same response as you NOOOOOOOO!!!
I got a used black A4 Avant in March and now that the suns come out all the scratches and imperfections from the previous owner are becoming very visible! I’ve generally just had my cars valeted so new to this but Could I use this to fix the scratches etc and then follow up with a carnauba wax? Or anything similar?
Now I'm not entirely sure if I'm right or you are however I am a big believer in if it works for you it's not wrong. So let's just say we're both right😂
With that ideally i would put a wax on top or a sealant as after 1 or 2 washes its removed. All in all it does do a great job. Keep the video's coming 💪
We did contemplate doing SRP vs Ultimate Polish from Megs, seeing as both are available off the shelves in Halfords, but a stand alone video for SRP won on the day. Definitely something I'd like to revist though
@@mv2000100 almost every brand will have a product you could make good argument for including. I like the idea of including Tripple in the mix though. A halfords 3 way
It would be interesting to have a panel just washed, a panel with SRP only and then a panel with full correction. It would be interesting to see the progression and what is possible.
from a time when it was this................. or a pot of turtle wax paste wax.... was using this back in the early 80s..... like Brut 33, i used to slap this all over.................
Great video,… but this polish will never be used in a detail company because it contains fillers!! Fillers will give you the looks of a clean and proper vehicle but after washing your car 3-4 times all scratches are back. It will give a little abrasive thing to the paintwork but not more then that. However great product for at home 😉.
I know it’s not going to be the best finish ever, but take it from me this is really all you need. I did the detailing thing, it’s ridiculous spending 5+ hours cleaning, clay barring, polishing etc for the car to get dirty in next to no time the next day. If you’ve actually got a properly nice car like a rare classic or proper sports car, that’s tucked away in a garage under a cover than proper detailing is the right way forward. However most people have pretty ordinary cars such as Focus RS’s or Megan’s RS’s parked on drives, which are just glorified shopping trolleys, don’t waste your money and time. No one is going to inspect your car to such scrutiny to tell the difference. Do something more constructive. I’ve been there, don’t waste your time.
Hey fam, I hope that you and your loved ones are well. I would like to ask you the most important question ever asked: Who is Jesus? Not who is He to you. Rather, who is He really? Jesus is the Son of God, who came to the world as a man. He lived a perfect and sinless life . Even though He was perfect and sinless, on the cross of Calvary God wrathfully punished Him for the sins of the world. 3 days later He rose from death. Now He is seated at the right hand of God, ruling as King over Heaven and Earth. On the judgment day He will judge you, me and every human being that has ever lived. Those who believed in Him will enter eternal joy with Him, but those who did not believe in Jesus will be sent to eternal condemnation. So turn from your sins and believe in the Jesus. Believe and hope that you can be forgiven for all your sins because of His death and resurrection. He took your place in Hell, so that if you submit to Him as your Lord and God, you can be forgiven and take His place in heaven- you will be made sinless and perfect before the Holy Father. He'll also give you a new heart and mind that can love and obey Him. Jesus lives so that you can have true life and freedom, and most importantly so that you can have an eternally peaceful relationship with God. You are dead, and Jesus is your Hope of love. You can start seeking Him by reading The Bible. Start in Matthew, and try and read it through to The book of Revelation. Spend at least 15 minutes in a private place to read it. Read the Bible over and over again. The Creator of The universe, nature and all creation, has made Himself more clearly known through The Bible, as it is the only perfect, unchanging and authoritative revelation of God. You know there is an Almighty and Glorious God when you look at the universe and nature, but you can only know who He is by reading the Bible. Bible link for YOU: my.bible.com/bible/111/MAT.1.NIV Acts 15:11 ”On the contrary, we believe it is through the grace of the Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are." Ephesians 1:7 ”In Him, we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace" Ephesians 2:8 ”For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,” John 11:25-26: "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?' 1 Corinthians 6:14: "And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power." Romans 6:9: "We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him." bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Christ-Is-Lord Source: bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Christ-Overcoming Revelations 19:16 "And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” Acts 10:36 "The word which He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all)" John 16:33 Verse Concepts These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
@@carsanovadidrifto800 I wasn't convinced in the whole thing. I don't wish to be disrespectful but it's all nonsense.

I remember buying my first bottle of SRP. Halfords in 2002. How about you?
About 1998 along with EGP and a box off their net/cloths.
Try it with a machine.
@@Swans_And_Ducks we did actually give it a go on the opposite side with the dual action. It really is a competent product

Quite right Ewan. Yeah it didn't seem fair to try it on perfect paint. We like to be real world when we can.
It can be used with a machine polsiher

thought this kit for £20 wouldn’t harm and great if I get the results I’m looking for.
A correction will remove all or most of the damage you see here. This will hide it. It would definitely benefit from a wax or sealant. Something like Autoglym's extra gloss protection would be suitable after unless you've got some wax already to use.
@@TranquilityBaseDetailing thanks for the reply.
Reason I thought I’d need correction is due to swirling of the clear coat on a car I purchased in December, thankfully my car is not in this condition.
If I do decide to go for a full correction do you recommend anywhere / company?
@@R1ckmister Whereabouts are you?
@@TranquilityBaseDetailing Bristol.
@@R1ckmister James at Ti22 in Chepstow. Look him up on RUclips. Man does fantastic work.
My used car came "polished", more like scratched and I think they used this. I have heard it just fills slight scratches which I noticed on my car after one non contact wash. Still not sure.
It does fill them. Likely your used car was prepared with a "glaze" which is designed only to fill scratches. They wash out very quickly but do give the paint a nice shine when freshly applied.
Yes I thought that. I noticed spider web scratches most probably from bad wash techniques. I am using a da polisher and some light cutting compound followed up by polish and then a ceramic (loosely called) wax by Mequiars. I have hand corrected issues in the past and when I collected the car the salesman said " I had your car polished" to which I thought Ahhhhhhh NOOOOOOO.
@@RBcymru I hate when they do that. When I had some respray work a few years back I had them take notes not to wash the car. Came to pick it up and found some junior drying it with a rubber blade. Same response as you NOOOOOOOO!!!
I got a used black A4 Avant in March and now that the suns come out all the scratches and imperfections from the previous owner are becoming very visible! I’ve generally just had my cars valeted so new to this but Could I use this to fix the scratches etc and then follow up with a carnauba wax? Or anything similar?
You can do exactly that. This won't fix the scratches only hide them but your plan is sound
Do I need to wax AFTER using this stuff to give a protective layer and all that? I’m quite new to this stuff so any help would be great
Yes I would definitely recommend topping it with a wax or sealant.
@@TranquilityBaseDetailing perfect! Thanks for the help
@@BenjaminEmm no worries. Any other questions bud please just ask👍
I applied it using the black side of the pad doh! But it came out well lol
Now I'm not entirely sure if I'm right or you are however I am a big believer in if it works for you it's not wrong. So let's just say we're both right😂
SRP is massively underrated! Also great video!
Thanks for the Video. Just one question: which cloth did you use in this video? Could you send me a amazon link maybe?
The red cloth is from Wo-wo. I think they're out of stock currently though which is a shame as they're great cloths.
A must for an car enthusiast, a bottle of SRP should be a staple of everyone's kit
Definitely bud. How's things? Hope you're keeping well.
With that ideally i would put a wax on top or a sealant as after 1 or 2 washes its removed.
All in all it does do a great job.
Keep the video's coming 💪
The rate this car is washed it should last at least a year then 🤣
Yeah it doesn't stick around too long in my experience too. Definitely needs something to prolong it's effects over the top of it.
Add a nice covering of EGP to finish off 👌
Not tried that for a long time. Will have to give it a go.
and thats why they are still a big noise in car care...how about a comparison with other AIO polish prouducts?
We did contemplate doing SRP vs Ultimate Polish from Megs, seeing as both are available off the shelves in Halfords, but a stand alone video for SRP won on the day. Definitely something I'd like to revist though
Yeah Michael wanted to compare and I didn't for this video. Any you'd like to see it against in particular?
auto finesse triple, alien magic resurrection are on my shelf but there must be more..i like both but never compared back to back.
@@mv2000100 almost every brand will have a product you could make good argument for including. I like the idea of including Tripple in the mix though. A halfords 3 way
AUTOGLYM SRP 💯% - ALL DAY 💪🏼
Good video and idea. Was I the only cringing hearing the sound the pad mad applying the product through all the embedded rubbish.
Mate it felt awful under that foam. Doing our bit to keep things real world on this one though.😂
It would be interesting to have a panel just washed, a panel with SRP only and then a panel with full correction. It would be interesting to see the progression and what is possible.
@@craigrobertson7938 That's a great shout bud. Will definitely work on that video for the near future
Indeed. The finish would have been far better again if it had the much-needed clay bar treatment beforehand.
It was horrible to do Craig. It was like rubbing a sponge across sandpaper!
from a time when it was this................. or a pot of turtle wax paste wax....
was using this back in the early 80s.....
like Brut 33, i used to slap this all over.................
More of an Old Spice man myself 👍🤣
I remember those days getting it everywhere and having white trim marks and powder in the door jambs. Oh how we've moved on since 😂
@@TranquilityBaseDetailing not just me then?.... and the dusting , that dust was so clingy, no matter what you did
@@dave2166 Dust for days😂 can see they've improved on that over the years.
Great video,… but this polish will never be used in a detail company because it contains fillers!! Fillers will give you the looks of a clean and proper vehicle but after washing your car 3-4 times all scratches are back. It will give a little abrasive thing to the paintwork but not more then that. However great product for at home 😉.
Its just a glaze with some abrasives an wax. It gives a nice shine tough.
We know. We just aimed to show that although it's a simple product it does a fantastic job.
That hurt hearing it sound like sand paper 🙈
I know it’s not going to be the best finish ever, but take it from me this is really all you need.
I did the detailing thing, it’s ridiculous spending 5+ hours cleaning, clay barring, polishing etc for the car to get dirty in next to no time the next day.
If you’ve actually got a properly nice car like a rare classic or proper sports car, that’s tucked away in a garage under a cover than proper detailing is the right way forward.
However most people have pretty ordinary cars such as Focus RS’s or Megan’s RS’s parked on drives, which are just glorified shopping trolleys, don’t waste your money and time. No one is going to inspect your car to such scrutiny to tell the difference. Do something more constructive. I’ve been there, don’t waste your time.
😂
Autoglym products are terrible, rely on there brand name.
Each to their own I guess. What brands are your preferred ones bud?
@@TranquilityBaseDetailing garage therapy
Great choice.
@@jamesrichardson4604 hopefully they will develop a polish in the range which I agree is the mutts nuts
Hey fam, I hope that you and your loved ones are well. I would like to ask you the most important question ever asked:
Who is Jesus? Not who is He to you. Rather, who is He really?
Jesus is the Son of God, who came to the world as a man. He lived a perfect and sinless life . Even though He was perfect and sinless, on the cross of Calvary God wrathfully punished Him for the sins of the world. 3 days later He rose from death. Now He is seated at the right hand of God, ruling as King over Heaven and Earth.
On the judgment day He will judge you, me and every human being that has ever lived. Those who believed in Him will enter eternal joy with Him, but those who did not believe in Jesus will be sent to eternal condemnation.
So turn from your sins and believe in the Jesus. Believe and hope that you can be forgiven for all your sins because of His death and resurrection. He took your place in Hell, so that if you submit to Him as your Lord and God, you can be forgiven and take His place in heaven- you will be made sinless and perfect before the Holy Father. He'll also give you a new heart and mind that can love and obey Him.
Jesus lives so that you can have true life and freedom, and most importantly so that you can have an eternally peaceful relationship with God.
You are dead, and Jesus is your Hope of love. You can start seeking Him by reading The Bible. Start in Matthew, and try and read it through to The book of Revelation. Spend at least 15 minutes in a private place to read it. Read the Bible over and over again. The Creator of The universe, nature and all creation, has made Himself more clearly known through The Bible, as it is the only perfect, unchanging and authoritative revelation of God. You know there is an Almighty and Glorious God when you look at the universe and nature, but you can only know who He is by reading the Bible.

Verse Concepts
These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
I've read the Bible. Wasn't convinced.
@@TranquilityBaseDetailing hey fam, I hope that you are well.
Please tell me, what were you not convinced of?
@@carsanovadidrifto800 I wasn't convinced in the whole thing. I don't wish to be disrespectful but it's all nonsense. No sane person should be able to read it and come to the conclusion that it's a serious text. It's scientifically inept, morally horrendous and if you need the few remaining positives taught to you from it then you need your head wobbled.
Glad to discuss it further if you'd like my help in finding yourself a better path than the one you're on.
Bit over rated that book.
