But they both equal shiny when you're done so what's the difference? Plenty of things called polish outside of car circles aren't abrasives

Nope. As I said, I didn't do an exhaustive search, just a quick check because I was pretty sure SRP is quite widely regarded, not just by some fanciful "elite" that only exists here.
Still. I'm glad we agree that the end result of both products is a shiny car, much like the intended result of any polish. I guess SRP can be considered a polish after all
Probably just using them wrong. It's fairly common.
Very informative, thanks.
Presumably you find Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover to be better than say the AutoGlym Intensive Tar Remover people were recommending instead, as they were obviously just using the Turtle Wax one wrong?
There are much better tar removers than AG, although that is good.
Turtle Wax?
Seeing as that's the product that was being discussed in particular when you decided to post your condescending appraisal of why people might be knocking Turtle Wax products.
Best deal I could find for Autoglym AG 193251 Intensive Tar Remover, 325ml was £ 7.55 on eBay...

Unfortunately they don't deliver to Jersey so the next best was Ozaroo UK on the Amazon marketplace for £ 8.28 ex VAT. Amazon themselves want £ 6.70 inc VAT but you have to spend over £ 20 to get that price.

Certainly a quick Google reveals turtle wax equal to it's peers, like AG tar remover. But then, that's Joe public reviews for you. Best accept them and move on because, well, that's what the internet said.
I get the impression the Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover is more of a bug remover then a tar remover, and there are better products available for tar removal.
But what do I know, I’ve got some AG tar remover on order and I’ll see how well it works in a few months and if it’s not good I’ve got Meguiars Ultimate Compound to fall back on.
And there was me naively thinking you might be talking from a position of actual experience with the products being discussed, given how disparaging you were to the opinions of others.
Please don't tell me irony has been lost on you too. This is getting very tiresome. The last person of sensible reasoning I actually had to explain myself to was a 3 year old. This feels similar.
No no, I can see how clever you're trying to be after coming into the thread all Billy Big Balls telling us you know better than the 'OcUK Motors Elite' (whoever they are), it's not lost on me at all, it just doesn't come across half as clever as you think it does.
It's amusing watching the face saving theatrics once you realised you'd made a bit of a tit of yourselfJust took you this long to work it out.did someone explain it for you?
I think you're in a different thread hun....It's amusing watching the face saving theatrics once you realised you'd made a bit of a tit of yourself
So you've entered a thread, made a statement, made out that anyone who disagrees with that statement should be ignored because they are part of some elite....you've then gone on to show that it's actually you with the elitist attitude, by implying that you know better due to some higher knowledge that "Joe Public" doesn't understand. Then you lecture someone else about irony? This has to be a wind up, surely?
Just a note if you do end up getting some it's very thin. So rather than applying it to the paintwork directly, soak a piece of paper towel with it and just hold that over the tar. It should soften it enough to come off. You don't need to use loads of the stuff.
