I hate the Auto Glym stuff, it leaves loads of powder. I've hardly used mine.

Ahh yes. The trick to that is, use an "on" and an"off" cloth, and don't let the polish dry out too much before wiping it off again. I sometimes get the same thing but generally if you use it in small amounts (little and often) it'll be less "dusty" :)

It is a pain though, when it does it. Especially after you've spent all day cleaning and polishing the car!

I just shampoo the outsides, use just water on my tints on the inside, and a household 'windows cleaner' for the front inside 3,

works a charm for me!
