GARDX

I posted a few months back if anyone had experience of this and no one got back when it came o our Z4 that was a demo. It appears to be standard added with Coopers BMW and they try to stiff you £350 just refuse but, after 4 months it's worthy of review.
My wife thinks bags brollies etc don't mark cars and that you just rub anything caked with a dry hanky. The GARDX I initially thought showed all these marks and the slightest scratch when in fact it it just dirt in the glaze that rubs out really easily without product. If you use the shampoo and then some other stuff from the kit, the water beads off and leaves a great high shine on the glaze that buffs really easily. After 4 months of winter, the car keeps cleaner than I thought and the beading stays for ages before it needs a wash with the 2 products.
The X has been done with Autoglym (by me) and it's not as deep a glaze as the GARDX but I may not have put enough on. Would I recommend GARDX yes if it's free but if you like keeping your car clean as I think most if us here do, then Autoglym is just as good. So is it any good, IMHO yes but I wouldn't pay the money they want for it.
