sunset350z Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Just around the corner from my girlfriends house in Porthcawl, there is a new shop called 'Gloss Max'. Popped in today and they have a nice little selection of cleaning products. From Autoglym to Meguairs, inc Bilberry wheel cleaner in 5 ltr containers for £22!! Don't know if thats cheap. They also have all the Duragloss products! that i use and love and Bilt hammer snow-foam, TFR's, waffle weave towels, micro-fibre cloths, loads of different cutting compounds etc, etc. Apparently, they are getting some brand new products from America soon, so i will give these a try and see how they compare They are also selling the snow foam lance thingy that is very popular with detailers for £55, not sure of the name but it does work better than my karcher one. If you are in the area its well worth a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Bilberry seems cheap, cos you can buy 1ltr bottles for £9. The foamlance from AutoBrite is £45, so only worth it really if you order other bits at the same time to make up for the postage. Mind you, i4detailing do the same foamlance as AutoBrite at £45.95. http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/H ... ce_1L.html I'd order it off i4d, along with some SSF, because I think the i4d SSF makes thicker foam then the AB stuff. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clenz Ltd Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 That's a good deal on the Bilberry - it's not too many miles away from a trade case (20L) deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Keep us posted on the US products Sunset. Always interesting to see what's available in the UK. There are literally many hundreds of products/brands available on the US market. ps. Loving the Sig Sunset. You are a sick puppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 I couldn't resist the urge to pop in the Glossmax shop today and buy a few things. Bought 5 ltrs of Bilberry wheel cleaner, and because i'm a member on detailing world got a 5% discount as well for spending over £20 happy days. Normally £22.99 but paid £21.84. Being just around the corner from me i can see this shop being a little too convenient Damn i think i need to clay my car,off we go again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunset350z Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Anyway got my Bilt hammer clay bar 200g for less than a tenner and still got 5% discount. I can see an extreme cleaning day coming on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Shame you live far away from me, then you could have tried the foamlance before you bought one of your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Already tried one they are very good, but i've got the yellow cheap Karcher version you connect to a hose pipe, think that cost me about £15. No where near as good, but it'll do for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
