Need help from Stars and Stripes

**k2dan** · 12-06-2003, 04:58 AM

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.

This is the end result of Menzerna .. the topper is only as good as the prep..

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.
