hehe, gonna clean the new black beast already

Think you need cleaner fluid (or car bath thing) first to get as much off as possible, after the clay bar you need to apply some wax etc.

I dunno, I'm just bored, I asked myself once, and got a MASSIVE thread about what I do and dont need and never really unravelled it, someone must have a definative list for newbies to start with. As in, use this, then this then this and you're done, but if you wanna spend more then you need this, this, this, this and this.

Sorry

Best place to get it from would be the Swissoil King himself or Fulham71 to his mates

He can advise you which one to get and is a general all round nice geezer.

Send him a PM or PM me your number and I will get him to give you a bell

Bah

Yes we can supply the complete Swissol range and keep almost all of it in stock in good quantities.

As official Swissol dealers, we sell at the manufacturers rrp, however we will price match any other supplier who has the product "in stock".

hope this helps,

regards

ps - We also offer discount for SIDC members on some of the products

Anyone use the Teflon stuff? Is it worth the extra, especially for someone like me who doesn't wash the car as often as it should be (typically once an month at best, car used every day and not garaged).

It is worth the extra if you leave the car out overnight or if you use the car a lot
The teflon is another barrier & also makes it easier to clean bugs etc off !

The teflon stuff is good if you leave it outside, makes bird poop come off easy and lasts a little longer than the standard swissol if kept outside im led to believe, I dont use it myself, I personally dont think it creates the same depth of shine as the normal swissol, but on different cars and colours its hard to tell.

next door uses it on his boxter as he keeps it outside normally.

Swissol is mighty good, But damn expensive , I have been using the Meguiars products & my 10 Yr ole Scoob looks a million dollars & for no where near the cost of swissol

it isnt expensive when you work out the weekly cost !
I would say that Swissol works out at about £2 -£2.50 a week
& yet some people will get their cars washed in a car park with a gritty sponge etc & pay 3 times that !!!!
