hi all
i am discussion with my contact in usa to ship a lot of microfibre products to uk

this group buy is also being offered on bmwccgb forum

i have now had prices for shipping just waiting for time frame and for me to pay for items when this is all finalised

some of you bought last time and some missed it and some have asked for more so here goes

prices are now confirmed and they will be as follows

dollar has fallen a little which doesnt do us any favours as i have to take this into consideration and prices are pretty much the same.
i have had to order minimum amounts with the guy due to shipping charges otherwise if i dont maximise weight allowed stuff will work out dearer as shipping will be the same so more volume spread the cost

WAFFLE WEAVE drying towel

this is 3 ft by 2 ft in size
will not mark surface of car
washable in w/machine but DONT USE FABRIC CONDITIONER
you will dry car without wringing it out
it makes the job so easy and without the damage chamois leathers cause.
the best quality available Ԛ£13

Image

ULTIMATE PLUSH TOWEL

16" x 16"
this towel has been approved by zaino
will not mark car surface
this will remove polish/wax/sealant etc etc from your cars paint quicker ,more efficiently and safer than anything else
again washable as waffle weave Ԛ£5
Image

WASH MITTS MICROFIBRE

sponges trap grit and then this gets dragged around the paint.........nice!!
these will not damage your paint at all
they hold lots of soap and do not slip off due to cuff design
again these are washable
enable you to get to places you cant with a sponge ie anywhere you can get in with your hand you can with this Ԛ£8.50

Image

MICROFIBRE APPLICATOR PADS

a pad which is double sided in top quality microfibre
seams are scratch resistant and will not damage paint
again these are washable
these are used to apply any product.
you should never cross use pads for different products ie once its used for something that day and before washing you should use a different one for your next product
these are good for applying plastic cleaners and feeders to dashes and seat backs also they are very pliable so they are good for doing bumper trims and window rubbers Ԛ£2.50

Image



so there you have it
these are THE best you can buy ......if they werent i wouldnt use them
they have no labels attatched so the label cant scratch

please dont get these confused with what is available at aldi and halfords etc these are in a different league

its like saying all engine oil is the same because its called oil

these cloths are not available anywhere else in the uk
my contact will not supply anyone else in the uk but due to the fact i have been using him for over 5 years he continues to deal with me


yeh it may say microfibre on the packet but there are very differing qualities and these are top of the line
i have cloths that i have had from same supplier for 4 years and they are still as good as new

these are cloths thatdid shepsevo3 in previous post
he watched me use them and saw that under no circumstances did they mark the paint surface at all

now the seriuos bit.i have had a lot of emails and pms asking when am i getting more etc etc well here it is
please dont let me down peopl tho i know you wont.
theamount iam ordering is gunna cost me Ԛ£3000 to get into the country
this is not a problem but tho i love the stuff i dont wanna be using it to wallpaper the house!!

so take a minute to realise my committment and i ask you to post below what you require and i will get back to you with a price and where to pay to etc
all above is plus p and p as i will have to buy packages and pay post and transport it to post office

anyone paying by paypal will unfortunately have to pay their 4 percent charges as there is no profit in this and i dont wanna make a loss.

i will not ask for any money yet until i have paid and i know the goods are in the air

i also ask anyone who bought last time to vouch for the quality or not whichever you found to help new buyers way things up

there has been a great response on the bmwccgb board.as soon as i have enough orders for what amounts i have coming up i will post up here.

thanks

john

Hi Jon .... I would like the following - (if posting to Denmark is available)
1 x waffle
2 x plush
1 x mitts
3 x applicator pads

Is it also possible to get one of those stone chip kits you had on the last group buy ?
I realise the postage will be more and understand if you don't have time to find out the costs.

i can get you 5 percent off uk distributors if ur interested
zaino is a one man company and they distribute all their products themselves
there is only 1 official outlet in uk and zaino usa will not post to uk

Hi John, could you get me that on 1 item to try? Just put it on a worldwide ebay search and nothing! You gotta love the exclusivity. What should I use while waiting for the microfibres?

sorry John, I'm sure it's me. Can you get Zaino in small quantities or must it be bulk buy. Or is it a case of mention youself/zone to get the discount?
thanks

ok
zaino can be bought thru uk distributors who are
advanced car products
do a google and go to their site

when you order there is a box put e30zone in it and u will get 5 percent off

remember
zaino is a sealant system that is 99.9% optically perfect and it only highlights what is underneath
ie take your time with the prep of your paint
get all your marks out and swirls etc
it will pay off once you apply zaino because nothing out there gives the gloss zaino does
dont use anything on your paint but microfibre
you will put in more swirls than you are taking out

hi thanks for order
my products arev better quality than the meguiars
the water magnet is a good towel and it shows you what waffle weave can do but my towels are 3 foot by 2 foot and are thicker and hold more water
i have used the meguiars one
id also say the meguiars deterioates quicker.a lot quicker
as far as mitt comparison is concerned
wool mitts dont wash anywhere near as good as microfibre and the longer hair will trap more potential grit etc
