Autoglym LifeShine protection
Does anyone know what product I can use to remove the lifetime protection. It was put on the car 6 months ago but the dealer applied it on top of lots of swirls that i can no longer live with. They did give me a refund end of last year.
I have a meguires DA polisher and would like to do this as a diy project as i quite like this sort of work but need some pointers what product will remove the LifeShine. Apparently it will even withstand clay bar so i need something pretty severe. |

A clay bar by itself is not abrasive so it stands to reason that wouldn't remove a coating. I'd suggest a quality polish like Menzerna Final Finish 3000 or Super Finish 3500 along with a quality pad. That should remove the coating and correct the swirls in one step (with proper polishing technique). From there you can re-coat or apply a sealant.

It sounds like he did since they gave him a refund.

Since you already have a DA polisher, I assume you know how to use it but I'm sure you can get very good advice from MystroX5. I used these two on a jet black Jag that was abused with auto car wash scratches, key scratches, fingernail scratches and swirls. The results was stunning, looked brand new but took quite a few hours to do - well worth it. https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-Mirr...s%2C153&sr=8-4 https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-Mirr...s%2C153&sr=8-5 .
