Halfrauds! Just started stocking a Meguiars starter kit (Towel, Quik detailer spray, 2 bars of clay in a plastic 'soap' box). About £20 which sounds a lot but the towel is really good and the detailer spray is also excellent for small cleaning jobs like bird muck and sap. They've not got it listed on line at the moment and seems to sell well in the shops judging by the stocks!

There are also the other online stockists as mentioned.

The rest of the Meguairs 'Step' range is quite good. All depends on how much time/money you want to spend. At the moment I've got some of the Megs stuff (Paint rennovator and polish) but I start and finish with Zymol because I've got loads left to use before I get anything else.

Problem with megs is that there are no instructions on the tin - they are folded inside the label! This means that they have a number of products that do the same or similar jobs and judging the best for your applciation can be a bit iffy if you try to do it on impulse in the shop on the basis of instructions on the back of the bottle. Best to look on-line to see what you need first.

However, I can't really see a problem using any polish/wax. Depends on how picky you are or if you have a personal preference.
