The long road ahead of us....If we're at something, otherwise just wasting time with this EC thing....

Like if on Autopia we had a Florida forum, an Alaska one,

Why not make it an Euro forum at least, or Euro suppliers.... Or even Euro Autopia??

We will never get nowhere

without forgettin we are on autopia, nice lookin car, wot brand of products do u use, and where do u get them from.

We do design for print, but i can put you in touch with printers if already have a design or artwork, if not we can sort it out for you.

Both the 306 in the avatar ( weekend car ) and 205 daily driver

I use a combo of products

Meguiars Bodyshop Range - swirl free, handpolish

Pro Range - #26, #7, #20, final inspection.

P21s/s100 gepc and wax

An the whole range of Autoglym - resin extra gloss, tyre dressing etc

Blitz wax

Dr Ok chemie wack Shampoo and carnuba wax

EF Clear Pearl QD ( show use on the 306)

Most products i buy in the uk, autoglym from Halfords, Meguirs direct from them. Blitz from frost, Wack from Iauto. The s100 from my local Harley dealer.

Previously i imported in the s100/p21s and EF from autodetail and properautocare.com. I future i will be using alex for the P21s, leaving the Eimmen Fabrick QD as the only thing i need to import.

As for towels i use microfiber tech MFs that Nick ( atr) kindly got for me.

Sorry guys - got to temporarily hijack this one to say.

WORLD RUGBY CHAMPIONS - YEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!

Tip to ALL sports fans worldwide - never, ever watch a game like that, whatever the sport, with a 4 year old in the room. Not only did I scare the **** out of my poor little girl but near enough bit through me lip to stop swearing.

Anyway, great match and sorta made up for the 48 hours' solid rain which stopped me getting anywhere near the car which is now filthy again.

Indeed, didnt make it easy for themselves.

Managed to do wheels and arches on the 306, and wash it on sat before it rained again. 205 is trashed tho

Too true Rich!

Looks like I've got a busy weekend coming up - mine needs sorting (hopefully picking up Megs cordless polisher this wk), my girlfriend's Ka needs some TLC (although I'm hanging fire til she gets the dent uin the rear 1/4 sorted) and her boss wants his Merc ML looked at - gulp! only ever done family's cars before now so this is a real challange for me.

We had heavy rain near enough non-stop all weekend so no chance of getting near the car anyway. I did give it a quick wash & QS Thursday afternoon so not so bad I guess!

I'm not saying update all time with latest offers, just the basics of products 'XYZ' available from 'ABC'. It would save looking through the thread repeatedly and possibly missing something.
Lowejackson, you can click the "edit" button in your first post and edit it to include all the other good sources/vendors that have been suggested in this thread. I think tnoy66's right that having most of the vendors "up front" would be helpful.

OK, I have updated the front page, if I have missed anything let me know.

It is probably a good idea to write a thread on getting a PC into the UK and how to make it work.

Thanks LoweJ, just a small point with the Mezerna link: I've tried e-mailing twice & faxing to enquire about pricing & availability, but to no avail. Looks like I'll have to ring them but they can't be that interested in business.
