Hi, it’s Mark from Autoglym, and today I want to talk about something a little different: how great our products smell! Yes, we know Autoglym products perform like champions, but let’s face it—when you spend a lot of time detailing, having a pleasant fragrance around you makes all the difference. So, here’s my personal top six best-smelling Autoglym products, counted down from six to my all-time favourite.
6. COAT-IT
Smells like: Afershave, cologne
This one is a total package in terms of performance and scent. Coat-It (AKA Polar Seal) has a rich, masculine fragrance—think aftershave or cologne—that never feels too much, yet always leaves a lasting impression. From a car care perspective, it ticks every box, but for me, that amazing scent makes it a standout. If you're looking for a product that has it all, Coat-It is your guy!
5. RADIANT WAX POLISH
Smells like: Super Resin Polish
Now this one is a bit of a personal throwback. Radiant Wax Polish takes me back to my early days at Autoglym, filling 5-litre tins of the stuff fresh and still warm from the mixing vessel. The polish scent is classic Autoglym, and every time I use it, I’m taken back 23 years to when I first started here. It’s not just a polish for me; it’s a memory.
4. FAST SHINE & LUBE
Smells like: Marzipan, cherry
I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t like the smell of Fast Shine & Lube, also known as Rapid Detailer. It’s got a marzipan and cherry fragrance that’s sweet but not overpowering, making it ideal for a quick detailer that you’ll be applying all over the car. The reason this isn’t higher up my list? I’m not a huge fan of cherries personally, but even I can’t deny it’s a crowd-pleaser.
3. HYPER FRESH GOLDEN SUNSET
Smells like: Aromatic blend of cedar, sandalwood, and a hint of vanilla spice
Of course, a Hyper Fresh product had to make the list, and Golden Sunset is my top pick from the range. It combines warm cedar and sandalwood with just a hint of vanilla spice—an absolute delight. We spray this one around our reception at Autoglym all the time because it just smells that good. If you want your car to smell luxurious and inviting, this is the one.
2. ODOUR ELIMINATOR
Smells like: Aftershave, cologne
Odour Eliminator is a legend in its own right. Its scent is modelled after a famous aftershave, and I absolutely love how long it lasts in vehicles thanks to our fragrance-release technology. Every time I use it, the car smells fresh for ages. It’s classy, sophisticated, and almost made it to my top spot—definitely one of the best fragrances we’ve ever used.
1. EXPRESS WAX
Smells like: Banana sweets
And here we are—my all-time favourite Autoglym scent: Express Wax (AKA Rapid Aqua Wax). There’s something about that banana smell that’s just perfect. It’s sweet, lovely to work with, and not at all overpowering. Best of all, it doesn’t stick to your hands, so you don’t carry the scent around with you all day. The fact it is also one of my all time favourite Autoglym products is a bonus too.
Final Thoughts
There you have it—my personal rundown of the best-smelling Autoglym products. Not only do they deliver great results, but they also turn the car care process into a sensory experience that’s hard to beat. What’s your favourite Autoglym fragrance? Drop me a line - I’d love to hear what you think!
