Although they don`t have a brick-and-mortar store, Excel Detail is not far, and has a large selection. Email them and see what you can work out. www.exceldetail.com

IF your in the mood for a drive, you can visit these places:

Meguiar`s Signature Detailing Center

I`m sure Patrick @ Excel would be more than willing to ship next day USPS (US Postal Service), especially if you need products quickly.

Thanks once again Pat. I actually did post (or thought I had) the same evening. I`m embarassed to say that I`m actually looking forward to getting home so I can try the MicroFibres and the lambswool wash mitt. I really appreciated your time and patience by the way.
Would I be right in saying that if (and I`m not sure) Meg`s Endrance high gloss is not waterbased and the UPP is, I`d need to be sure to give the tyres a good scrub with, say, net virosol before using the UPP?

Megs or UPP, water based or not, the tires on that Audi should be thoroughly cleaned and dried before using any tire protectant. You`ll get the best looks, and durability this way......
Paint surface or tire surface, treat them the same.......clean before you protect....

You can go to chemical guys only three days a week if i`m not mistaken, i know wednesdays, thursdays and i think mondays. I know their closed on tuesdays and some times he`ll open it up for you on saturdays if he`s around the area, he`s done it for me before. But yeah they have great products i have some of their pro polish and revive glaze that are taking up room and dont` want if you want those for some change.
