Autoglym is a British manufacturer of a range of car care and valeting products, which are sold in more than 45 countries around the world, and considered to be the best car care range at present. The Autoglym brand was founded in 1965 by a UK Motor Trade entrepreneur Dennis Barley who developed a unique system for renovating used car paintwork. Autoglym has become a part of Altro Group in the mid-1970s. In 1986 Autoglym launched their retail range developed especially for home users. In 1991, Autoglym brought about a new line of products, the body shop range. This was developed in response to requests from customers who wanted a silicone-free range of compounds, dressings, and glass cleaners that would be safe to use in strictly silicone-free environments.
ISO accreditation was awarded for Autoglym in 1991 along with a Royal Warrant from the Prince of Wales. The Queen Mothers Royal Warrant followed in 1992. HM The Queen awarded her Royal Warrant in 2004
The company’s products are used by customers such as vehicle manufacturers, distributors, body shops, professional valeting companies, and transport operators. The product range consists of exterior (chassis, bodywork, wheels), interior and glass care products. It also includes Autoglym Carbon coating technology, a dealer-applied system of treatments that provides long-lasting protection for the paintwork, glass, and upholstery of a car.
