UK Retailers Listing

Great list.

I`ve just ordered p21s wax and paint cleanser from the polishing company.

Would it be worth using OG Omega glaze after the p21s paint cleanser and before the wax?

Should be no problem at all.

Just had clarification from Sonax. It is sold at 95% of Vauxhall dealers and Euro Car Parts. So no excuses for not buying any.

Update on Wurth. I am informed they do not sell to retailers but individuals can order directly from Customer Services on 0870 598 7841.

Alternative to PC. I had completely forgotten about this machine, the Makita BO6040. It does everything a PC does and has a more powerful motor

The downside, the average price is about Ã‚£320

For those after a good transformer Butchdave found the best buy http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...7253&id=101364

Lakecountry pads can be purchased in the UK. These are identical to the CMA pads (Lakes is the OEM supplier).

I`ve spoken to a guy called Rowland Howells at Corroy Products Ltd - he`s just started importing Porter Cable into the UK BUT he can`t get the polishers in because they don`t have CE mark. He`s sending me a catalogue from a German company who apparently have something similar - will post details as soon as.

Good work.

Meguiars said it was simply to expensive to convert to British Standards.

Only just saw this sticky - great list Steve

A couple of others that I can only just remember right now:

Simple green All Purpose Cleaner (tyres, wheel wells, engine, underbody etc) - Ã‚£9.99 for a litre (which can be watered down to suit).

Good quality sheepskin mitts - Ã‚£10 for 2.

http://www.sheepskinshop.co.uk/accessories.htm

Cheep MF cloths (for wheels, door jams, engine etc) from any good pound shop.

Worth noting that www.iauto.co.uk now have free next day delivery for orders over Ã‚£20.

Their P21S alloy wheel cleaner, glass cleaner & Speed shampoo are all excellent & well worth a go.

**Lowejackson** · 11-18-2003, 04:52 PM

Nick, thanks, I had forgotten about Simple-green. Pound shops etc are a great place for cheap MF towels.

Vindaloo, good work on the deliver from Iauto. I would say the shampoo is the best one I have so far tried. The wheel cleaner is also an excellent and safe product to use. Not tried the glass cleaner yet but hopefully in the near future I will.

**imported_vindaloo** · 11-18-2003, 05:44 PM

The glass cleaner is really very good, it`s about the only one I`ve tried that doesn`t streak at all.

Has anyone compared Simple Green with Megs APC+?

APC+ is available in the UK for about Ã‚£8 a gallon which makes it a fraction of the cost of SG. You also dilute it up to 20:1 depending on what you do with it.

I`ve used for cleaning the engine, carpets, upholstery & it works a treat.

On another note:

I`ve also just got some MF products from AG Group in Australia inc a superb MF wash mit. These products seem to be as good as Pakshak products which I also have. I haven`t seen MF as good as either of these brands in the UK.
