i just bought the finishing wax of them

it sounds german but i suppose it is american

will see how it works and let u know about it...

General public beleives Zymol is a German made product which it really is not. Zymol was invented and manufactuered by an American in 1980 and is based out of Connecticut.

i have used zymol in the past. the consumer grade stuff is just average. learn to use the pro stuff, like swissvax or the premium grade of zymol. where i come from, meg's, zymol, zaino, etc are the base standard, so maybe our yardsticks are different

:iagree:

why don't u tell us about your favorite brands?

[ghoonk]

i will, but before is list them, let me state that the results i get are from use of the best of breed combination of products within a defined target or goal and budget, and a blend of common and unique techniques. i can, and have, used far more expensive product combinations at the request of my clients, but my preferred combination focuses on depth and durability

my favourite products:
klasse aio and hgsg
jeff werkstatt wax and acrylic boosters
menzerna fmj, acrylic shield
pinnacle prewax cleaner and souveran paste wax

:lol: you go and donate blood instead of donating your car here :P

I surely can. I've got good relations with them. Ken, let me setup a great deal with you and with the guys here. If we all order a big quantity or we can do a group buy enough to set Auto Works up as a dealer, all initial prices will be great, I'll add 0% margin, so everyone will get the dealer super duper price that Auto Works will get.

If we could not get enough to set me up as a dealer, I'll help you saving on the shipping rate, I get great rates at DHL!

Shall we start group buys for everyone we know?

Not sure if the guys would 'dig' the sort of stuff that I use. Like I said, after years of detailing, starting from an enthusiast to going professional, I've learned that you get better results from using certain combinations rather than sticking with one brand, and using techniques to achieve the results that you want. In my case, rather than going for the full-out Concours look which is great but not durable enough for the daily abuse that our cars face, I'm since switched over to a combination of synthetic sealants and natural waxes, as well as a separate setup for maintenance.

I'm looking to get the following from Chemical Guys:
http://www.chemicalguys.com/MONSTER_...ic_1100_03.htm
http://www.chemicalguys.com/Waterles..._p/wac_100.htm
http://www.chemicalguys.com/Exterior..._p/wac_116.htm
http://www.chemicalguys.com/GALLON_H..._p/acc_118.htm (need 2 of these)

I also recommend this for people who are just starting out -- keep the product mix simple and work on your technique first!

See http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/

This is worth getting:
http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/collin...t.php?cPath=66

http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/meguia...s.php?cPath=66 <-- this is a pretty good detailer spray for quick cleans

http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/meguia...0.php?cPath=66 <-- a sealant that I found to be easy to apply and durable

http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/poorbo...x.php?cPath=66 <-- one of the best value for money waxes you can buy. With a good base glaze, this is easy to apply, easy to buff off, and lasts around 2 to 3 weeks in our weather conditions with weekly washing. Deep shine

http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/pinnac...x.php?cPath=66 <-- my personal favourite.

http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/chemic...er-wet-wax.php <-- good but Elite is expensive. Best to buy Chemical Guy products in bulk from the US

On a side note, Marwan, can you check with the supplier in this thread and let me know what the total cost of shipping the rims to Dubai would cost:

http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=260303

USD1400 for a set of flow formed rims (good for the road conditions around my place) -- I need them in 19x10 (planning to run them on 275/30/19), centerbore 57.1mm, in either hyper silver or gunmetal but I need them to advise me on the correct offset to use, because the stock RS4 runs a rim size of 19x9.5, ET29.

They say that they can sort out the size and offset - http://www.audizine.com/forum/showpo...8&postcount=43 - so I need you to check if they can make a set for me in 19x9.5 ET29 (original size) so I can run stock sized rubber

It also looks like Tirerack is having a special offer on Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric -- http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=4 for 275/30/19 or http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=7 for 255/35/19 and if you can provide me with a quote for the rims as well as a quote for the rims and tires, that would be great.

So the quotes for the following:

rims only, 19x9.5, ET29
rims only, 19x10, but I need them to recommend the correct offset
19x9.5 ET29 rims with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetic in 255/35/19
19x10 ET?? rims with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetic in 275/30/19

Quotes to include cost of shipping too, thanks! And shipping will to be X Service Centre :D

Man! I can not get all those items! Many suppliers and I do not know them. Most suppliers do not like to work with DHL and pickup servicesm which I do. I can only help with the guys I have a customer account with and in this case it's only Zymol.

Sorry I may not be able satisfy everyone!
