Quality Car Wax,where????

Hi Does any body know where i can get a quality car wax like Mothers or Meguires From in this Country,im fed up with the rubbish in retail outlets.I have used Meguires and Mothers and nothing matches up to their Quality,ive even had Fuel coughed back up a Tunnel ram on to the hood(or whats left of it!),and its not effected the shine and finish with Meguires.

Hey there Mr.Toecutter,
Jesus H tap-dancing Christ what's all this polish business?Don't tell me your getting all soft on me mate!Are you going to start going to car shows in a John Wayne outfit and sit there watching cowboys and indians or line dancing.The drags are on next weekend at Avon park,you had better come to your senses before then mate.Only playing with you,glad to see you're ditching the 305 boat anchor and putting a big block in,welcome to the board mate.

MR "Eric The Viking"

I like your spec Mr Viking,You have some very radical modifications,this is excellent,Good job you have that cage,because i recon that monster turboed small block would kick that windshield out onto the asphalt,when you dropped the hammer.Whats your prospect of power output Mr Viking?I recon,youre looking at around 800 honest HP.If you give a squirt of Nos into that big old wheezer,you could be looking at a 1000+.Very cool!Im new to this club,i hope more people like us can get into contact and meet up,maybe even if we could arrange a third gen shoot out at Avon Park Raceway.I have been in a couple of clubs when i lived further up,my *** i met some right turkeys,I get the drift with the line dancing and John Wayne,the majority of these people were driving round in poorly maintained cars,these people slate the likes of us of for not keeping our cars original.I have yet to see a well built/maintained car at a car show,I have seen plenty at the Drag Strip/Circle track.So Mr Viking it is a pleasure to join a club with some radical people into Modification.Are you going to shakey this weekend.

Neil, or Mr Viking as Mr Toecutterv8 put it!, can you tell me what your beast is going to be breathing through? Are you going HSR, MR, SR or carbed?

BTW toecutterv8, you can purchase the Meguires you speak of through www.demon-tweeks.co.uk or by phoning them 01978 664466.

It's in their Performance and Tuning catalogue. But I prefer their racing catalogue myself.

Hope that helps!

Hi Dr G,
I'm almost certainly going to go with a Holley stealthram.A carbed turbo is not ideal.The superram looks like a very nice set-up but is a grand more than a HSR.I've been quoted $2300(1300 quid) + shipping which is good considering that is for a complete bolt-on job which includes everything.

My local store sells Meguires, which is actually somewhat of a miracle as usually everything I want for the car either requires mail order or shopping trips to the U.S. Plus I get a discount from them.
