UK Retailers Listing

Believe me guys none of these compare with Pakshak, I wouldn`t use any of them on my paint, just the rough stuff. Pakshak MF`s arrive in 2 weeks (no duty) & if you buy a reasonable amount they are fairly inexpensive, carriage is $16 to the UK. Get a bulk order between you & get the price down.

Also highly recommended is the Pakshak waffle weave drying towel, over twice the size of the Megs & cheaper if you buy with your MF`s

I`ve just got a quote from Pakshak and been quoted $32 for shipping! This was for 10 16x16, 5 24x24 and a single waffle weave towel. Worth going back to Ranney to query shipping charge as this makes overall order quite pricey (sounds worth it though!)

As a PS if anyone is interested in going for a bulk order, I`m based in Basingstoke, just off J7 of the M3 plus I also travel all over the UK on business s if anyone`s interested then send me a PM or whatever. I`ll hold off ordering until early next week.

Also - www.speeding.co.uk sell some good quality MFs (the ones I use for the wheels and door jambs).

Obviously only Microfibertech MFs get used for the good stuff :xyxthumbs

**imported_vindaloo** · 11-20-2003, 08:32 AM

overpriced

terry`s good

MF`s not bad but plenty better

**luke667** · 11-20-2003, 09:41 AM

whos quality and price could i compare wit?

**imported_vindaloo** · 11-20-2003, 10:15 AM

There are no top quality Terry`s in the UK (AFAIK), so if you need the best buy Megs. If you just need them for sills, engines, door jambs etc. buy a 50 pack from Costco for about Ã‚£11.50 or so & throw them away when they get too grubby to wash.

I haven`t come across any top quality MF`s that you can source from the UK. That`s why I have bought AG Group, Australia (fabulous MF wash mitt), Pakshak & DF (both USA).

The Megs UW is ridiculously priced at Ã‚£9.99. Even with carriage & VAT etc all the Australian & US orders I have had are much cheaper (& better).

I have now built up my MF collection to over 30, but I do have 3 cars to keep clean!

**luke667** · 11-20-2003, 10:21 AM

Only joking mate, tell you what you must have a long hosepipe if your in Cheltenham & your cars are in Malta!!

**luke667** · 11-20-2003, 01:40 PM

nah i am usually back at least once every 2 months, even if its for 4 days, i`d wash the cars and give them a good waxin. :xyxthumbs

**togwt** · 11-20-2003, 02:17 PM

That`s what I`d call "Dedicated to Detailing" England to Malta to wax a car on a regular basis :xyxthumbs
