Oops have I started a trade war!!!!
Didn't realise you sold it as well John.. appologies if I stepped on your toes there.
Richard only deals with Meguairs though, he can be found at the MKCruise most weeks with his little stall etc.
I will post what offers Rich gets back to me with and leave it at that!
Mark
ps... nothing like a good bit of competition to drive the prices down for Corsa C members!!!!

im sure we can sort a joint thing out if you like
Why don't you both offer different pack deals???

Why don't you both offer different pack deals???
Richard is going to work out some special packages specially for offer on Corsa C for us all.
All sales will be direct with him, so once I know what the packages are, I will just put a post in the Members Offers section on behalf or Richard.
He doesn't sell anything else other than Meguairs and as he is a direct dealer for them the prices should be very good.
cheap meguairs can only be good news - point me in the right direction
im up for buying a pack :)
Hi there people im The man to be talking to if you requiar cheap meguiars. As mark has been saying im working on some prices for packs such as the trim pack.
The stage 123 i do as a pack already and im charging £20 the lot. Orders of £50 and more has free delivery and anything les will be £4 for delivery.
All my prices are 10% less than meguiars themselves and probably 99% of the shops around.
If you require an order or a price list then please email me at nova13sr@hotmail.com
I hope by advertising on here the admin dont mind as i know some forums dont like people promoting business.

^^ Shame that pic aint better quality :(

Richard if you want to officially trade then you need to contact me or Si and we can change your name colour, and add you to the traders and allow you to post in that section etc...
Just drop me a PM when you are ready ;)
ive tried 3 megiuars products so far
gold class shampoo...gr8
tyre gel...gr8
bug and tar remover..give it a miss, more expensive than autoglym, and doesnt perform half as well
You say the bug and tar doesn't perfom well next to the autoglym, please explain why you think this.
As i found the autoglym products to be extreme hard work to use and you use twice the amount.
right i thought id try megiuars because the other 2 i tired was good, but the bug and tar remover just doesnt work, u spray loads on it, and u still have to scrub to get little bits off, i gave up in the end and left it...where as auto glym, i remember driving on a road that had just been layed with tarmac..had it all under the bumper. i used auto glym then and it just wiped off much easier..so next time i shall be using auto glym tar remover
I see... What you have to remember though you have used it in 2 different circumstances. From what i can make of it you used the meguiars on tar that was on there for sometime and there for yes you will need to scrub with some force to remove the contaminents, where as you used the autoglym on tar that was fresh which would come off easier not matter what you used on it, including hot water and a car shampoo. So from what i can see in my eyes this is an unfair test.
that was just a simple comparison, i can see ur point, defendind the product that u sell, but imho autoglym tar remover is better
i doubt it was the only time he used it tho, he'll of used the full thing of each surely?
I like meguiars but when i used the wax, it leaves oily marks oil over my car (its black saphire). No oe else seems to have this problems, i dunno why this happens :S
any one used this stuff called MER a mate of mine recons that if you just wash the car normaly then rewash it with this mer polish and a bit car shanmpoo, the car will look the like new??

Macca, it's 3 bottles of cream.
1) A Cleaner to remove old polish/contaminents,
2) A Polish to shine the Paint
3) A Wax to protect the polish and paint

I think each person has their favourite brand that they use.
Personally, I have never tried Meguairs. Am sure Richard will do a demonstration for me one week!
I have been using AutoGlym lately and the paint revovator has just worked a treat on the 'graffitti' and paint spillage on my stolen/recovered Corsa B. I have left a little patch just in case Richard can get round here with the meguairs kit... now there is a challenge!
Before using Autoglym I used to always use MER. Like said above, wash the car, apply the MER was (whilst car is still wet!) and then polish off once dry. Does give a showroom finish.
any one used this stuff called MER a mate of mine recons that if you just wash the car normaly then rewash it with this mer polish and a bit car shanmpoo, the car will look the like new??
iv heard of that b4, where u get it from and what exactly is it?
the best stuff iv seen for getting rid of muck was the clay bar stuff
I like meguiars but when i used the wax, it leaves oily marks oil over my car (its black saphire). No oe else seems to have this problems, i dunno why this happens :S
Which cloth are you using? Meguiars is very dependent on the clothes that you use (im not just saying because i sell it). I used to get the "oily marks" when using a bog standard cloth, then i got hold of the ultimate wipe and now i dont get any marks unless i hit a bit of water from the seals.
I used to use autlgylm quite a few years ago but when i heard about max pooer doing an open day for a powerflow store in devon i went down, and saw the meguiars being used for the first time. The bloke made it look easy then i bought some and it really is easy to use. People say its expensive and in the short run it is, but i ask the people of this forum.
How much polish do you go through a year?
I ask this because im still on my first bottle of NXT generation wax from last summer, and thats polishing near enough every weekend since i got it. so thats less than 14 quid thats lasted me over a year.
agree with Richard just finished my first bottle of NXT lasted about 9/10 month and thats waxing 3 cars
^^^ Good point Richard. I found that applying most car care products with a sponge is the way forward. Cloths are poor at application in comparison. Never tried the ultimate bonet, but will soon, either yourself or a show vendor will sell me one at discount :lol:
As for use, I have too much polish, and it's taking me ages to move all my products across to meguiars, cos you really don't use all that much :mrgreen:
K
I dont use the cloth to apply the wax i use it to take the wax off. I use the applicatot pads to apply, similar to a sponge but not so abrassive.
Also did you know that 90% of swirl marks are caused by the sponge, mainly when used for washing. The reason for this is the dirt gets trapped on surface of the sponge, even after you have dunked it in the water.
Er... I do know the dofference between applicator pads and polish off cloths mate :lol: Glad you got it sorted too ;)
That's what I thought :lol: Glad we sorted that one out ;)

I've got a bottle of the gold class shampoo, a tub of the gold class paste wax and that QuickClay stuff. What else from the Meguiars range should I be looking at buying to really get the paint shining again this summer? Cars just over a year old now and hasnt been polished or waxed since last summer! :p
I would advise that you used the body scrub to pull all the contaminents out the paintwork. I find the quickclay is better used on small areas.
What colour is the car?
npatchett
12-06-2005, 13:11
Its Ultra Blue mate.
Sorry for being completely thick but is that a dark or pale blue? Im not overly sure on the newer Vauxhall colours.
If its a pale blue then i would deffinetly recomend the NXT generation polish, to deepen and darken the paint work. If its a dark blue then i'd probably go for the stage 2 and 3.
npatchett
12-06-2005, 13:23
Its a dark blue colour. That body scrub stuff sounds good.
You might be able to advise on another car issue. My dads got a 2004 Honda Accord in a light silver metallic colour. Someone has scratched one of the rear doors and its not a deep scratch but at the same time its not a light mark if you know what I mean. Would Scratch X be the best thing to buy or is there something better?
Without seeing it i cant say, but saying that, if you run your thumb nail over it can you feel it as though it were a groove? If so then it will be hard to take out, if, on the other hand it just feels like a light scratch(very little/no groove) then the scratch-x will do just the job. You dont need lots either just a very small amount and worked in should do it. Hope this helps

I wash my car in the Jet wash, take it home...when it drys i just use the turtle Wax in a green bottle? is that shyt ne good? or shud i switch to Meguiar's???
Meguiar's has so many types of wax..which ones the best :S
With out sounding byast but yes that turtle wax is pretty s**t. Infact the only use i found for it was when i used to ski.
As for the meguiars there are many types of polish. There Gold Class polish was there best seller back in 03. Its very easy to use and gives good results. There carnuba wax is just amazing really but is best used when in conjunction with the stage 1 and 2.
There latest polish which is apart of there NXT Generation range Is again simply amazing ands lasts for a long length of time. I haven't polished my car for 3 weeks now and people say " Wow have you just polished it?" My answer is no wash it once a week and not polished for about 3 weeks.
do meguiars make that clay bar stuff? iv heard thats pretty amazing
Yes meguiars do the clay bar stuff, Its called the quickclay. A clay bar with a bottle of quick detailer. The RRp is £11.99 and my price is £10.80
they were singing the praises of that stuff on the spaxo site, and it looked to do the job like
It is the mutts nuts IMHO

Whats better Auto Glym or Meguiar's?
have u even read this thread? :x
Whats better Auto Glym or Meguiar's?
The phrase " hello im a bonner" springs to my mind.
Claire I'd recomend once every few weeks. I washed my old nova on firday before i sold it on saturday. The bloke said "you cleaned it.... great" If you want it looking its bestestest then id say every week.

12-06-2005, 22:52

:lol: :lol: :lol:
mentioning oily parts being left when wiping off meguiars, i seem to get sections like this
to apply the nxt generation tech wax i use the sponge it came with and to wipe off i use a 100% terry cloth
i also am now finding that sometimes on the bonnet i'm getting sort of dull patches that dont seem to shine up
i could do with knowing how to get my car back to scratch to polish up as i'm sure the missis doing it one weekend has screwed it up!!! lol
all i'm using at the mo is the wash and then the wax (i mentioned earlier) at the minute no polish but how easy is the polish to do?
another question is i have a bugger of a tree (well there's about 3 massive ones) overhanging the driveway and sap gets all over the car and also leaves and crap, whats best to combat this
Ok so i didn't quite explain fully, He thought i'd polished it, when it aint been done for 3 weeks.

Personally i'd ditch the terry towel, i dont think much to them unless using them to wipe up the "oily" patches. use the ultimate wipe clothes as these are much better. i sell these for £9. As for the dull patches, try the the stage 1 body scrub. But it sounds like your not getting polish onto these areas hence the dull patches. But im only going by what im reading in your post.
Mark has recomended the best way to prevent against all contaminents when not being driven.
did anyone ever get round to sorting some packs out and prices? checked in members offers and couldn't see owt
would love a stage 1 2 3 with applicater foams and ultimate wipe cloths and maybe a wash mit - basicaly summat to do the lot from start to finish and all the tools to do it with

16-06-2005, 14:15

sounds good to me
The quickclay rocks. wash quickclay it then polish and all the tar and bugs come off. Its really easy to use to. Think im gonna try the 3 stage for any shows this year tho. I want a banana car!!
Claire - is your car yellow or is that how your wanting it to be?

16-06-2005, 16:44
group buy sounds good, been emailing him got sum reply then they STOPPED LOL
Hmmm - well maybe some of the other traders could help us out?
Sorry for the lack of replys people i've been somewhat busy, with work and all that crap. I can do the a ful cleaning pack which would consist of the stage 1,2+3 plus pads and a cloth for £28 plus p+p which brings treh total too £32. Im still working on the packs for you guys.
Wayne ingonre the price i gave in the email and use the price on here.

16-06-2005, 16:56
what about that gold shampoo stuff lol, no worries bot the late reply lol
take it the cloths for removing the wax and the polish - could do with some applicater pads for both polish and the wax and a wash mit or summat
Yes wayne the cloth is for removing the polish and wax.
FAYO if you are not currently using meguiars but would like to start using it, may i suggest the buckets. They consist of
1 Wash mitt
1 Bottle of GC shampoo
1 bottle of GC liquid wax
1 Bottle of Endurance tire shine
1 Bottle of Quick detailer
1 Bottle of Hot rims wheel cleaner.
The RRp on all of this is £34.99 and im doing this for £32.00. You will need to buy the applicator pads and a polishing cloth seperatly for this though.
which cloth is the best then for removing the wax/polish??
i'm thinking a pack along the lines of
Ultimate wash mitt
foam applicater pad (2 pack)
pack of cloths (whichever you reccomend)
Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo and Conditioner - 1892ml
step 1 - Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner
Step 2 - Deep Crystal Polish
Step 3 - Deep Crystal Carnauba Wax
or maybe a pack without the washing bit in for those who just polish and wax
Foam Applicator Pad (twin pack)
Cloths again (whichever you reccomend)
Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner
NXT Tech Protectant
NXT Tech Wax Paste
STEP 2 – Deep Crystal Polish

Step 3 - Deep Crystal Carnauba Wax
Yeah I'd go for a pack of that as well
i have to say, if i washed my own car i'd go for it, but it gets done for me (yes lazy g!t i know) but for £3 and it done by hand and no high power jet then i cant go wrong, so i'm really only after the later stages of cleaning
I personally use the ultimate wipe which is very soft and doesn't leave any marks behind, unless you hit a bit of water from a seal, but then it dont take a lot to wipe it all out.
As for the packs that have been thought up, above i will see if i can do a price on those, but i may have to modify them slightly
ultimate wipe sounds good then - whatever you reccomend
and if you come up with some good prices then i'm near enough ready to make an order
