Best on-line detailing supplies?

Fancy treating myself to a spend-up. Any suggestions? I've used Polished Bliss before, but keen to shop around.

I've used Elite Car Care and Motorgeek, both excellent. I have not had that good an experience with Car wash n wax though.

Hello!

I think often you find that only specific suppliers sell specific products. I would look around online too if you only want one item. I wanted to buy some Werkstatt shampoo as i like to try lots of products. This was from Polished Bliss, they wanted £5+ to send it to me. I dont want it ASAP, and i dont want to pay £5+ for one thing so its a case of wait for other things i want from there or not buy at all.

Elite Car Care is good, easy to deal and with and fast. He sponsors on here and i think there is a small discount. Most products priced well.

Detailed Obessesion; fast, well priced nice guy and decent delivery prices. Doesnt quite stock all the ranges of every product line.

Motorgeek, seems to be a bit pricey, i only shop there for specific lines i cant else where.

Cleanyourcar, nice selection of products, cheapest Zaino prices ever in the UK. Things seem to go in and out or stock quite quickly.

Serious Performance, often has some good deals and discount. Top quality service, i live close by and he even drove the gear to my house!

Carwashnwax/chemical guys UK. Unless you want gallons the best of CG's is avalible at many other venders.

Clean and shiney, they used to be pretty good. Maybe still are, the site us difficult to use and i dont shop there.

I notice there are a couple of other new places popping up which i have not tried.

I often look on ebay, there are a couple of guys on there selling Sonus and Victoria wax often at discount. However, i notice someone has purchased up all of my belovedSonus Tire and Trim and they dont have for £3.99 anymore!

Thanks, Dibbs; good source of info.

Ihave used "clean your car many" times, so thumbs up from me.

steelwind101 · 22-08-2008, 10:57 AM

Forgot to add, "performancemotorcare" is good with regard p+p if you want to buy just one item. They also sell the RED P21s wheel cleaner!

Some great advice from Geoff.

I have used them all at one time or another and not one is poor, in fact all have been very good. However I find myself using either Elite or Clean Your Car because I find the service from them that little bit extra and both have good stock choices.

I have still yet to find one stockist that sells all the products I like.

Thanks for the feedback Geoff, yes we still supply quite a few of you guys (despite my lack of presence on here recently), there is still a discount code available too.

Cheers
