Hi Everyone, In Australia we are starved of good products and Meguiars and Mothers are the only easily available dare i say " upper end" products.



Recently P21s, Klasse and Stoner have made their way " Down Under" This has just made things worse !



We now know what we have been missing out on for a 100 years ! P21s is my new favourite.



BUT this limited few has just made us greedy for more...... What other brands are worthwhile in trying to buy ?



I read here about Einzett, Poorboys, Clearkote etc..... Can you spoiled American friends who drive on the wrong side of the road please help me and tell me what I should be trying next in cleaners, polishers and waxes !



Would also appreciate any comments from our Mother Country

( the UK ) as well ! ( nothing more on the rugby please !)

I see you can buy Meguiars pro range, which is highly thought of, dont forget 3M http://www.3m.com/intl/au/index.jhtml. As for Poorboys etc, I would contact some other Australian members to see if they have more info. Dont forget things like a good collection of MF towels and applicators.



From my experiences of trying to find products in the UK, I did discover that many were not sold to car detailing sites. For example Plexus is sold as a good fish tank cleaner. 303, have a look at http://www.303products.com/main.php?infopage=australia



Rugby?? I cannot think of any Brits who would mention the world championship game :)

As far as real polishes go I have had the pleasure of trying the Menzerna Intensive and Final Polishes and I am stuck on them .. no fillers and oils etc. and the results on black were wonderful. They have a "Get Aquainted Kit" that I tried and am going to order the reg sizes now.

Jesstzn, Wow, car looks great. I am getting the Menzerna Intensive and Final Polishes for XMAS (can`t wait).

I am assuming you used a PC with a yellow pad for each??

No.. actually I didn`t have my PC at the time .. I was using Simoniz Cordless orbital with a white type pad. Was slow but effective.
