Nice, I have jst ordered some autoglym stuffquite expensive in NZ tho, i wonder if any1 know of any detailer supply sites tat does international shipping.
Also, how do you guys deal with stone chips? i have noticed one on my bonnet already.
about the stone chip- ouch sorry bro!
Well yesterday I picked up my new car. Next to the other cars it makes their paint work look extremely bad.
Cant clean it for a week because they used SupaGuard on the whole car (not that it needs cleaning), and I have to use their own products (provided) to clean the car otherwise it invalidates the warranty that comes with SupaGuard.
Just a word of warning, if you do get SupaGuard, ScotchGuard or equivalent make sure you get the dealers to do it about 3 days before you pick it up. I was pretty much high when I got home after picking it up. They did some protection on the interior as well as the paint and alloys and it stinks.

@Jmblur, I didn't get talked into it my Dad did , glad I'm not paying for that particular extra , just have to pay off the rest of the car.
I'm pretty much going to ignore their cleaning products considering some of them are rubbing compounds. They come with warnings like "Repeated use may damage paint work"
I'm extremely glad that I got the Pearl Black, parked near a 2009 Golf with the standard, the car was clean but looked like someone has gone over with it with sand paper or had a dirty sponge.

lucky the car is white and you dont really notice it. But its one of those thing, once u notice it for the 1st time, it will somehow attract your eyes forever after...

My previous car, an S2000 was black. What a PITA to keep clean! it looked like the previous owner(s) used sandpaper to wash the car. SWIRL CITY! :mad0259:
