nixy Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Just been to my local York Halfrauds and they've got all autoglym on offer at buy 3 for the price of 2. Not sure if it's a national offer but worth checking out! Quote
nixy Posted March 8, 2007 Author Posted March 8, 2007 However, they did charge me 1.99 for something I never even bought and by the time I realised it was too late - it wasn't my day, the Indian restaurant missed my onion bhajis out of my take away order as well! Quote
sinbad Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 That happened to me on Saturday too! Your supposed to get 4 free with every order. wasn't happy, went back in but the q was massive! You not coming to the NW drive out? Kev's coming in the BM and my mate is trying to make it in his Focus RS so you wouldn't be out of place! Quote
Removed Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 yeah nixy you have to join us! even if you haven't got the Z yet, the Type R is plenty fast Quote
sinbad Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Forgot to mention, halfords offer is for UK i think. well its on there website anyway. Quote
nixy Posted March 8, 2007 Author Posted March 8, 2007 maybe if you have a yorkshire ish meet and invite my ferrets I will show up. Takes ages for me to join in, i've only just in the past year started going out with friends from a forum i moderate on that I've been a member of for 3 years! Quote
sinbad Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Val - you maybe able to help. I've read some of the detailing threads but its all confusing. when i go to halfords what autoglym stuff should i be grabbing? I'm thinking of getting a meguirs clay bar and wool mit. but not sure what shampoo, polish, wax i should get? Super resin polish? Quote

I use the Megs NXT wash & wax mate (think Val does too unless he's changed). Personnally I love the finish with this stuff and its nice & easy too Quote
sinbad Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 so i need: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... ryrn_31557 http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... ryrn_31557 Ive been using turtle wax extreme up until now. The shampoo has good effects but doesn't make suds whci i like. The wax is brilliant and doesn't leave any white dust. Quote
Removed Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 personally don't rate Autoglym RSP, too much hard work to take it off and leaves TONS of white residue. Used to use it, but since I switched to Meg's NXT (basically all their range minus the spray wax which is crap, tried that one too) I still have to find something better for the price. Don't get the lambswool mitt or if you do, wash it by hand and not in the washing machine as mine got damages, and now use the microfibre mitt from Meg's. Shampoo: again the NXT one is very good imo. I use some Autoglym products (the glass cleaner is really good) but now mostly Megs Quote
sinbad Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Cheers guys, appreciate it!!!!!! I've got loads of Microfibres, just thought id get a wool mit for applying the shampoo. Quote
nixy Posted March 8, 2007 Author Posted March 8, 2007 I use a microfibre mit and the two bucket method. It washes fine in the machine. I use lots of different products and use a meguiars shampoo which I got in a 5 litre bottle - think it's called soft wash. I'm currently using Einzett Glanz wax as it brings out the metalic flake nicely. Oh and I always use lots of quick or speed detailer when I'm drying it with a large drying towel. Quote
rmmackfc Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Cheers guys, appreciate it!!!!!! I've got loads of Microfibres, just thought id get a wool mit for applying the shampoo. Think Val mentioned it on another thread, microfibres from Lidl Got 6 for a fiver Quote
sinbad Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 I get them free! Only a handfull a month mind. Quote
sinbad Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Thanks again!! Picked up a Meguirs cleaning kit: Wash/shampoo Glass cleaner Tech Wax Wool Mitt Wax aplicator £34.99 Quote
sinbad Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Well says it was meant to be £39.99 so i guess so. The bag will come in handy, i'll be keeping all my cleaning stuff in there from now on. Its quite smart too with Meguirs stitching. Quote
Removed Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 I'll have to go have a look, I need the shampoo and the wax, ran out a while back and car's filthy Quote
