Supranature Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Thats a major difference, though the "before" pics needed a wash anyway I always use Megulars products, though I get my mate in the States to post them over, much cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a lot cheaper from the states? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Its always nice to see a good finish after ones efforts, well done. As for products, I use a number of products, different ones for different tasks as some do a better job than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got my last batch, about this time last year, it worked out less than half price However, with the sliding of the £ versus $,that margin has been eroded. Still cheaper, though. They pronounce it "Maguires" over there, strange............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks First time I have really gone to town on a car normally just polish or wax them. Just had the supra resprayed so just polishing that at the mo. Any recommendations for future products?

jimmy_supra Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 A few pics of the supe after I polished it and fitted a whifbitz sunstrip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supranature Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Now that does look good. My fave colour, after white, of course. Think I may go 70s retro and get a sunstrip with "Paul " on the driver side, and "Her" on the passenger. Hmmm........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lexussoarer007 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Yeh I used to use autoglym but its a bit dusty and I think the meguiars stuff does a better job. Is it a lot cheaper from the states? That looks brilliant. Ive always used Mothers Products as I was trained by Mothers USA. Auto glym has got better with less chalkiness and Meguairs are good but its like most things you get used to a product and stick with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 The Supra looks good, quite like that colour, it must look dazzling when it out posing in the sun. The wheels look nice too, what are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
