possible group buy detailing supplies incl microfibre
Moderator: martauto
hi all
iam willing to put together a group buy of some car detailing stuff from usa
this will include microfibre products including wash mitts,drying towels,applicator pads,buffing cloths,glass cloths etc
i will also get some other stuff that may be of interest to people
these will include clay cars,stone chip kits (which are incredible!!!!) etc
now i CANNOT give prices at this stage because until i knoew the kind of response iam going to get from you all and then go away and talk to my man in states and work out delivery which is dependent on amount and then possible import duty etc
these cloths/products are the best money can buy
they are not like you can buy from the pound shop or the sunday market
they are without doubt the finest microfibre products you can buy and subsequently are not going to be really cheap but they are worth every penny
billgates has had some off me in past and im sure if u ask him he will comment for you
in this country shops /vendors will have you believe that all cloths are the same and you use same type for very thing
this is not the case at all!!!
different piles/weight for different applications
waffle weave for drying is one example
now if any are interested then make your mark below but please be genuine as this is quite involved and i dont wanna waste time etc
i will put some more details up shortly as i get the feel for amounts etc

I would be interested in trying out some new stuff. My car cleaning kit consits of a bucket, sponge and Auto Glym fake leather, oh and a seperate sponge for the wheels.
I rarely clean my car as
A its garaged all the time
B I dont drive it much so it doesnt get that dirty
D silver hides dirt
and
C dont like doing it
Anything that makes it easier/pleasure to do would be welcome

john

ok people here are the details
the goods will be being posted from the states tomorrow
iam expecting them end of next week
i have limited numbers of everything
please bear in mind i have done this at NO profit to me at all
you will get everything at what it has cost me
i have obviously had to incorporate the postage costs from usa
the price you see is price you pay plus post but thats dependent on size of order obviously
i will accept cheques but they are to clear first made out to j.wiseman
i will accept paypal to john.wiseman7@btopenworld.com BUT i must ask you add the 4% charge as i say i have no profit in this at all and if i didnt charge that id be out of pocket.
also please bear in mind i have forked out 700 quid to order this stuff up front so please bear that in mind
ok so heres whats available
WAFFLE WEAVE drying microfibre towel 24"x36" Ԛ£12
ULTIMATE PLUSH microfibre towel (polish removal) 16"x16" Ԛ£4.50
(this towel has been approved by ZAINO and is the only one that has!!!)
WASH MITTS plush microfibre with non marking cuff Ԛ£8.50
APPLICATORS microfibre (polish/wax etc) Ԛ£2.50
DETAILING CLAY professional grade 200g bar Ԛ£13
STONE CHIP KITS allows amazing repair using toch up pen Ԛ£13.50
I must point out that i have used every singgle one of these products
i continue to use everyone of these products
they are the best .PERIOD!!!!!
you will not find a better grade of microfibre anywhere and i mean anywhere
they will not mark your paint at all ever.even the stitching on side of cloths will not cause damage.they are tested on blank cdrs to make sure they do not leave the slightest marks
heres the waffle weave.used for drying and its amazing.no damage to surface and is so absorbent.once you have used one you wont use anything else.

heres the ultimate plush cloth.really really soft and is amazing at clearing all dried wax/polish.

wash mitts.these hold loads of soapy water and will not damage paint.will not hold onto grit like sponges do.

applicators.these are a pad covered in top quality close pile microfibre.these are ideal for applying waz/polish etc.these will not leave swirls or marks.

ALL THE ABOVE MICROFIBRE IS MACHINE WASHABLE AND WILL LAST FOR YEARS AND YEARS.IT MUST NOT BE WASHED WITH FABRIC CONDITIONER AS THIS WILL AFFECT THE PILE.
the clay kits are big ones.professional size and quality and will remove over spray with ease.this is not a piddly little bar this is a good lot of clay and this retails for $30 IN usa
the stone chip kits consistof a bottle of product and an applicator
the applicator is credit card shaped and is made of plastic
this is how it works
you supply the touch up pen that you normally use to touch marks up.
first you fill chip with paint really really liberally so its blobbed on making sure hole is filled.
you leave this to dry for say an hour
Wrap a smooth, clean, tightly woven cotton cloth (bed sheet, pillow case or t-shirt) around the enclosed "plastic card". SHAKE WELL and apply The product generously to the flat surface. Rub over the "blob" for 15-30 seconds allowing The product to quickly penetrate and begin smoothing the "blob" of excess paint. Once the touch-up paint blob begins to appear on the cloth, begin rubbing lighter until the BLOB is gone and the paint is left inside the chip/scratch. Lightly hand-buff to remove any residue on the vehicle with a clean cloth or microfibre towel.
it may need a second pass depending on size of chip but this product will not affect the paint on your car
and it is only as good as your colour match to your touch up but bear in mind my car is very very dark and a hard car to touch up this stuff is amazing and you can when you get the hang of it make chips invisible!!
stevie wonder could get this to work on a white car or light coloured car!!
it is very very easy and is a trade product here but available in USA
so there you have it.this has taken a lot of time and effort to put it together so please dont let me down because if this goes well there a lot more things i have in mind but this is kind of testing the water
any questions just fire away.
there are people on the board that have used some of this stuff and will i hope vouch for its quality.do not compare it to what you can buy inhalfords etc because these are another league
iam an honest guy thats just trying to help whoever asks

i would just like to add that John is the tip top most honest guy i have met in a very long time
i have used all the products above with exception to the stone chip kit which i have on order from him. all the cloths are spot on and are so good that i am getting more so that i have one for everything.
John is as honest as the day is long and i would trust him with my apint work anyday (ooer missus).
i also believe that he is truthful about the prices that he paid in the states for this stuff to and know that he won't be making any profit out of this so lets make sure the man gets the recognition he deserves and take some of this fine car acre equipment off his hands and let the man buy some food as 700 bigguns is no small amount to shell out on towels.
Cheers
Chris
