Autobright Buff Out Car Polish
Since my Menzerna Intensive Polish (PO85RD 3.02) which is a medium cut at 3.5 out of 5 on Menzerna’s scale i tend to use this the most and is now getting fairly low. I dont mind paying £20 for Menz polishes since they have always performed for me but after i saw some prices on Autobrights website i thought i best give one of there polishes a try.
The only gripe i have with Autobright is the website, and its mainly in the polish section theres 4 pages worth each displaying 6 products. ok so you say well thats not a bad thing. but i’m instaly faced with a mountain of car polishes to choose from I.E: Extreme Cut Q, Power Cut Q, Ultra Buff Q, Clear Coat Polish Q, Foam Pad Polish and Lite Finish Q.
Ok so we can work out that Lite Finish will have little cut but high gloss, but whats the difference between Extreme and power, Its way to easy to spend 30 minutes reading through descriptions and changing your mind.
I had a few samples from Autobright before so gave them a ring and spoke to Geoff and after a few minutes he recomended Buff Out Q 946ml in a bottle so just under 1 litre but whos measuring and at £8.95 whos going to complain.
Ok so i got my order next day which was my only option as i ordered it on a thursday and needed it for a saturday job.
I was using Sonus SFX-2 Paint Polishing Pad on my G220 DA polisher. I found if you used to much Buff Out that it did create a bit of dust but nothing like Auto Glym Super Resin Polish creates.
It was easy to tell when it was time to buff the Buff Out off the bodywork as it hazed off very nicely if you applied the product thinly i found any dust was minimal.
The work time was about right for Buff Out, i could spread the product on a low speed the do a few passes on a medium speed building up to a high speed and then back to a medium speed.
In all honestly i was massivly impressed with how Buff Out performed at swirl mark removal.

I would say the cut is probably about the same Menzerna Intensive Polish (PO85RD 3.02) and the gloss effect i would say again on par with Menzerna.
Since the Autobright products are at a lower price than other high class car polishes such as Menzerna and Meguiar’s,
I could easily be converted to use there products more often, i would just like to see how it performs on a few other cars.
