Default Cheapest place to buy swissol or alternatives?

Does any one know the cheapest place to buy a swissol starter kit? Also are there any decent alternatives? I heard Zymol is pretty good?

Thanks
Dean

Hi Dean

If you want the next best thing to Swissol at a fraction of the price then try Meguiars you cant go wrong with it, i've used it for nearly 2 years and its great...........even smells nice too

Agree with Buzzer, Meguiars is the next best thing and costs about £12!!

Question

Not being high on knowledge on polishes etc.... what makes these brands so much better than using something like Turtle Wax?

I use the tub (wax) and it seems to last pretty well...

The better waxes tend to use carnauba (sp?) wax. You are paying for the % content in the wax.... obviously it's not just that as pure carnauba is a very hard wax (hence why it protects and shines) but also the mix that allows easy application.

With the swissol wax I never get the white power or marks you get with cheap waxes.

Stick with Mark Underwood : mark@swissol.com

Anyone who is available 24/7 to answer your queries and help gets my money. Drop him a mail, I am sure he will beat any other price.

I have used both Mark Underwoods products and Meguiars. Meguiars is great and very reasonable. You'll find that they have a good carnuba content and they smell great! LOL

I've used in on my last two cars. Here they are. The light is not brillliant in either shot, but you'll get the idea.





I use the Meguiars as follows:

Gold Class shampoo
Clay bar and detailer (if needed)
Cleaner Wax
Gold Class Wax
Rubber and Vinyl stuff!

Job Done

Matt
