Large Meguiar’s Gold Class $6= £4!! £15 at Halfords

Meguiar’s Wheel Cleaner $5.64 = £4 £9 at Halfords

Well with it being an american product, you'd expect it to be cheaper in the US...add all the so called taxes and crap the UK gov'ment put on top and there you have the rip off price...

Busch gardens in Tampa Bay is included in the 6 park fexiticket if you have that :thumbs: If not its still a great theme park to go to and you could pop into B2autodesigns while you are there :teeth: Sorted ;)

 

 

Been to Busch gardens many times in the past so if I can get round the park quick enough I sure the wife and kids would not mind a couple of hours at B2autodesigns. :lol: I might see if Adam can ship a Eibach Pro Kit down to me.

I noticed that too when i was over last month, soo much cheaper but TBH im kinda put me off meguiars stuff of late as they are selling it everywhere! I know it doesn't make the product any less worthwhile but it makes me feel like im not buying a special product.

Bingo. + 1. You have to allow for that and the shipping across the waters.

 

Although I don't use Meg's anymore, bar the window and carpet cleaner, it's very reasonably priced I think whether paying Pounds or Kiwi weak dollar. :lol:

Might save on import tax, but are you willing to pay the excess baggage charge? :lol::lol::lol:

Prolly be cheaper to pay the tax....

 

I'd hate to see what customs would do to you when they x-rayed that suitcase. violent-smiley-010.gif They would think it was an atom bomb :lol:
