I have recently discovered these. Marketed by Turtle Wax, and imported from the US, where I live a one pint of cleaner wax along with a one pint of glaze sealant in a dual pack costs a tad over 3 quid your money. That's a quarter of the price I normally pay for Mothers polishes, good as they are.
Results to date appear to be excellent, and I like the blurb about the polish being developed to a 100 year old German formula and having Vitamin E, aloe vera, banana and coconut oils along with natural biodegradable ingredients. Bit like a health spa for the car!
Anyway, if you can find 'em in your neck of the woods give 'em a go. Best value for money I've found in ages.

I have used the Zymol for over two years now and obtained the polish in liquid form from Halfords. I was recommended it by a colleague who uses Zymol on his Porsche, but his is more of a gel if I remember correctly.
My car is pearlescent red and comes up very nicely after a wax with Zymol and I thought it better than the petroleum based products.

Meguiar's Zymol products enjoy a first class reputation but they are not cheap, at least in the UK.
A 473ml bottle of its Gold Class Clear Coat Liquid Car Wax is about £14 and the NXT Tech Wax £16 for just over half-a-litre; however, delivery is included in these prices at the online outlet I visited:
www.performancemotorcare.com/acatalog/Waxes.html
It could prove cheaper to try other websites or local outlets but, to be fair, I've always said that you get what you pay for in the long run.
I use AutoGlym's offerings and I was in Halfords the other day looking at the individual and pack offerings.
A standard size bottle of Super Resin Polish was the average £9.99, but spending an extra fiver for one of the handy packs added two more products plus the cloths; even better value was the £20 pack which also included the excellent Glass Cleaner.

Might be dearer there because they are marketed under the Meguiar's label?
Seriously I got a pint of wax polish and a pint of gloss sealant in one pack for 299 Pesos under the plain Zymöl label. At around 100 Pesos to the GBP right now call that 3 quid.
Very pleased with both price and results. In case the store runs out, as does happen with imports occasionally, I've gone out and bought 6 more packs. At that price it's a bargain.

sorry growler megs and zymol are two different makes!!
megs are now available in halfords as well as some of the zymol/turtle wax range.
performance motorcare charge muches wonga?
|
I wouldn't know about different makes, read what Stuartli said, also the comment I made that Turtle Wax markets the product her as you seem to im ply they do there.
Cheaper here? of course!!! Why do you think we have 300,000 Western retirees enjoying the place!?

in one pack for 299 Pesos>>
That will explain it...:-)
Anything you buy outside the UK is almost certainly going to be a lot cheaper...:-(

Depends what you're earning too.. When I was at a component supplier in Germany last month I was talking to a CAD graduate who had emigrated from the Philippines. He told me his salary back there (as a graduate) worked out at about £150 *per month*. A tin of Zymol would therefore have been 2% of his monthly salary. He was earning about 15-20 times as much in Germany......

I found the Zymol sold in Halfords to be grossly inferior to those direct from Zymol. The ones from Zymol are great but a bit to expensive for me to justify, so I only use their leather cleaner, and leather conditioner, as they are natural, don't leave a sheen and smell delicious.
