What CarPlan No.1 Super Gloss Actually Does
For a fiver, this 600 ml bottle of CarPlan No.1 Super Gloss is hard to argue with. It's a paint treatment focused on shine and surface protection, keeping dust and light contamination from bonding to your paintwork. Spray on, wipe off, job done. No faff, no buffing machine required. Community heat of over 1,000 on HotUKDeals suggests people are snapping it up, and at 50% off it makes sense.
It's not a polish in the traditional sense. Don't expect it to tackle swirl marks or oxidised paint. This is a maintenance product, not a correction one.
How It Compares to Autoglym Super Resin Polish
Autoglym Super Resin Polish sits in roughly the same price bracket, usually around £8-£10 for 325 ml. That's less liquid for more money, but here's the honest bit: Autoglym does more. It fills light scratches, corrects minor paint defects, and still leaves a decent shine. If your car's paintwork needs a bit of attention beyond just a gloss top-up, Autoglym genuinely edges ahead.
- CarPlan Super Gloss: better for newer cars in good nick, fast application, bigger bottle
- Autoglym SRP: better for older paint with minor imperfections, more versatile
- Price right now: CarPlan wins comfortably
If your paint is already in decent shape and you just want to keep it looking sharp between washes, CarPlan at this price is spot on. If your car is a few years old with the usual light swirling, spend the extra and grab the Autoglym.
For most drivers doing routine maintenance though, this CarPlan deal is not half bad at all.
