Autoglym products
Autoglym aims at creating products that perform well, with a modest price. Being a big international brand that serves over 40 countries, means they have the power to buy ingredients at a much bigger volume then most manufacturers. This allows them to push down the price at high quality ingredients. The current range of products includes shampoos, polishes, cleaners, wax, sealants, tools, merchandise, quick detailers, insect removers, glue removers, clay, headlight restoration kits, metal polish, dressing, convertible cleaners, engine cleaners and microfiber towels.
Besides the Auglym brand, they also own Lifeshine.
