    Chewitt,



    If you speak to Richard Hutchins at Crystal Clean, he is based in Burstwick and is a very experienced detailer. He has worked in the US as well as here. He also is the importer for Mothers Wax.

    His website is www.crystalclean.ltd.uk



    Tell him Kev sent you. He is very approachable and also stocks most of the things you will need.



    Cheers

    Contact the local Autoglym trader supplier in your area, for trade prices and quantitys/sizes details on the AG website.

    I would be tempted by Super Resin for one steps, and lots off the dressings etc as they are very cost effective in 5 litre sizes.

    I`m a firm believer that no one manufacturer can make the best products for all tasks, finishes and results desired, which is why I carry with me Meg`s, AG, PB, Clearkote, Klasse and a whole load more that I can`t think of right now. If I had to pick between PB and AG I`d go with PB as their products are more sun and plastic trim friendly.

    Hope your business is coming along ok.



    I would stick with the better brands as these have proven themselves time and time again.



    The likes of Klasse, P21s, Poorboys, Wolfgang, Clearkote, Sonus and Meguiars etc.



    Autoglym is not a bad product, I just feel personally it tries to do too much for one product. I could not use it on a customers car, knowing they will come back and say that the swirls have majically re-appeared, when all I done was mask them for a short time.



    You need any help don`t think twice about emailing me etc.



    John.
