The waxes coat the car in wax/resin. By calling them a polish's its easy to confuse them with real polish which is abrasive. You need to check the contents for chalk and other substances.

Abosolutely.. the HD Cleanse is a light polish intended to remove
everything from the car and get it down to the laquer for you to start waxing. For this very reason I've only done this a couple of times when I knew that I could spend loads of time on the car and the weather was perfect... and then only 1 panel at a time.
...and even a brand new car will have been covered in sealer and protective films, left out in the elements and washed with who knows what sort of stuff by the dealer before you get it. I was shocked just how much effect polishing a day old car had. Perhaps I'm picky, but I prefer to strip all this off and get a few coats of good quality wax on.
Autoglym actually quote on their website that the Super Resin Polish is "the ultimate easy to use combination cleaner, polish and sealant."
I guess it's just a different approach... Autoglym = strip and seal every time. Zymol and other waxes = build layer on layer of wax.
The Autoglym range is great and I used it for years, but Zymol shades it for ease of re-washing and longevity of protection.
