meguiars are supposed to be OK. Check meguiars.co.uk for your nearest stockist - you should be able to buy it off the shelf nearby.

Thank-you all for your comments, looks like Swissol then.

Is there a Zymol kit?

Tried the Zymol site before posting here. Couldn't find it (but I'm also blind)
I'm a Zymol fan really. Still have loads of Zymol Concours wax from the days when "Wax Wizard" supplied Zymol stuff and bought a new bottle of HD Clense from the very same website a couple of months back. Cant believe Concours wax is nearly £140 a jar now. I think I paid Mike £75 for a kit :-D

Again, thanks to everyone for your tips/recommendations.

Found that I have Meguiars stockist just down the road from me, so ended up with the Quik Clay.

Zymol do a clay (or Klay) kit but...............you have to pay to go on a course to learn how to use it. Only then will Zymol sell it to you (or so I've been told)
