I used turtle wax for the first time the other week after years of happily using meguires and the stupid stuff didnt even bead when it rained. Meguires would bead for months after a good polish. Looks like i'll have to lash out again on the good stuff.

Yes a mate sells it they do have kits starting from less then half that but they also sell stuff for much much more, the price of the Royale wax would make your eyes water.

It's great gear if your fanatical but you do have to remember 90% of the result comes from the effort you put in rather then the brand of product.

As I said before I use lots of premium brands & I can see the difference between them but it's often only the fanatics who can tell, to most people a shiny car is a shiny car but it's something you have to see for yourself weather you can justify the difference.

Meguiars usually, but i have also found RE-PO cream polish (made by CRC) to be a very good, its a premium carnauba wax / much cheaper / and seems to be just as good imo .
