But then again purchasing a polisher from the US like you did is just insane in my opinion. What are you going to do if your Flex rotary packs it in – ship it back to the US for repairs?

Not at all, it has international warranty and can be repaired even in some third world countries (if you have any Flex manual/warranty card have a look).
Beside, have you ever heard of someone having issues with Flex?




Earlier this month, I purchased ONR from the Sydney distributor (you know who) and got completely ripped off. To top that off, the gutless wonder then had my IP address banned the same day from our Aussie forum Detail Paradise, as though it was his company’s forum.


I bet this was Car Care Products, they are appalling .. advising on their 'forum' that compounds such as 105 and UC are worthless, and swirl/scratches correction is unnecessary because they don't carry them ..

I suggest Car Detailing Police be established in Australia asap.

The above mentioned would get life, no parole .. he, he.

:laughing: :D :D

I know exactly what you mean. It really sh!its me how they put down Megs and other products which they do not carry. They do it all the time on another forum I belong to. Some of the info they give out about Megs products is blatantly misleading and false. Then when you challenge them, they delete your post / thread. Clearly, they are all about the dollar - and their prices reflect that. I haven't ordered from them in a couple of years now and don't intend to either.

That is good to hear. Just hope it works out for you in practice.

No it wasn't CCP. I've never dealt with them.

ZAS is the Optimum distributor here, so you'd do well not going there.

I've seen a few people complain about both CCP and ZAS, but I'm yet to hear customer complaints about waxit (other than some products being a little high in price).

I've been speaking with Antonio the last couple of days in regards to ordering a concours 900 polisher and some other stuff and they seem to have their customer service down pat. While I still think some of the products at waxit are over-priced (probably due to them stocking items not many people buy), some of their prices for specific brands seem quite reasonable compared to AG.

Main thing I'll be getting in my order is this polisher kit:

Concours 900 Polisher - LC CCS 6.5" Pads & Menzerna Kit (http://www.waxit.com.au/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=462&category_id=87&manufacturer_id=8&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1)

For those who like the menzerna range you should check out the prices by waxit, I think they are much closer to AG than most people would expect considering other comparisons made in this thread.

Seeing as the polisher is out of stock I'll have to wait a little longer to make my car sparkle, hopefully they get to Australia soon!

Trillis,

looks great, good job. To get the best results its really about the best overall system for that particular paint system and defects you are attempting to correct.

We have worked hard to get the right systems for Euro Paints, Australian and US Paints and Asian paint systems and offer these in kits to suit.

I have found that if by using a Lake Country Foamed Wool for the major cutting and correction stage to be a benifit as it will generate less heat and allow you a little extra cut over foam cutting pads, generally also with less trace marks. You can tailor the desired cut level by stepping down in compound abrasive level, to stage where most cars can be a 2 step system. Always test your system on a panel first to find the best combination.

Remember all you Aussies, we are here to help. We try our hardest to provide the highest level of service to do justice to the top quality product we distribute for Autogeek.

Antonio

Also, Antonio, quick question for you that anyone else using the menzerna range would/may benefit from (anyone else feel free to chime in with the answer also).

If I have the following kit of menzerna products:

PG1000 - POWER GLOSS Cutting Compound
PF2500 - POWER FINISH Light Cutting Compound
UF5000 - ULTIMATE FINISH Ultra Fine Finishing Polish
SWPROTECT Protective Paint Sealant

and I start with the PG1000, do I then use all of the rest of them (top to bottom), or do I skip the light cutting compound (PF2500)?

Also, how does the menzerna paint sealant hold up? I've noticed that you guys don't sell menzerna powerlock, is there a reason for that?

I would say it depends on each individual paint type.

Do a test spot with just PG1000 followed by UF5000 - it should be all you need.
