Anyone able to get good deals on Meguires?

Postby Leon » Mon Feb 13, 2006 9:27 am

Pretty self explanatory really.

I have a car with fairly hammered paint, and want to try out a series of Meguires products on it, to see how much of an improvement I can get. A friend of mine in the US loves the stuff, and sent me some before and after pictures of his dad's car. He's an absolute fanatic about his car shining stuff :)

So, to be totally clear, I am not looking for a debate on the pro's and con's of various cleaning and polishing products, as seven years full time and two years part time in a rental car company means I already have opinions of my own ... I am merely looking for teh 4w3som3 di$count$. I can then get cleaning products, and form my own opinion on Meguires.

sign up to repco site and get a 20% off discout :)

then pop in and buy up large,

just check that supercheap doesnt have it on special at the same time, or it could work out more expensive ...

Yeah, I already have a Repco card, but it isn't a super duper discount one. Having somebody on the inside is usually way cheaper than using the card I suspect.

I was at lunch when I posted :P Unfortunately as a substation decided to blow apart, we didnt have any type of electrical stuff so I couldnt get any prices. Will do so tomorrow though.

its not meguiers but its better....

autoglym.

track it down and get hold of...
paint renovator.
resin polish.
extra gloss protection.

if the paint is dry you use some of the EGP to soften it again, then give it a light cut with the renovator to remove the oxidised layer then polish with the resin polish to get the base to the shine then use the EGP to "wax" and seal the shine

yeah i think toms is right there

fortunately my work place is the dealer for all those 3 brands, meguairs, mothers and autoglym, so i can sort of compare them

people that is fanatics about autoglym always stick with them, we even got an order from queensland for a bunch of autoglym products

but the strongest brands in the market still mothers and meguiars, autoglym is getting up there, it will be soon

those touch up and easy dents guys are the crowd who always pushing autoglym products

i guess it all depends what you want really
