'mer' any good?

[saintsfan]

i was having some chips mended on ma windscreen the other day n the guy who did it recomended some polish called mer. says u get it in halfords in a blue bottle with a silver lid. he said its proper good stuff and lasts for ages. anybody used it, whats it like?

[Predator_R32p]

its proper oldskool stuff, i have some in the garage but never use it, there are a lot better makes on the maket these days, will still work well though

I have some its good stuff. you can use it in the wash or has a polish and you can do all your car at once then just buff it off with a soft cloth with no effort at all, You dont even have to have your car dry either as you can put the polish on while wet. last ages aswell.
but like pred says there are better on the market nowadays. But its still good stuff.

[saintsfan]

cheers guys, whats supposed to be the best stuff out there at the moment then?

[Predator_R32p]

zymol are the leading brand at the moment but can be very expensive especially for there wax's

a few other makes to look out for

sonus
chemical guys
swissvax
menzerna
poorboys
meguiars
auto glym
3M
smartwax
blackfire
jeffs werkstatt
zaino

what colour is the car exactly???

[saintsfan]

posi blue mate

[Predator_R32p]

most of the makers ive suggested are best with a machine tbh

poorboys natty paste wax (think both will work fine as theres a white one for lighter colours and blue one for darker colours, id go for natty blue one though) is good on that colour car though and quite cheap but thats a wax, i use poorboys pro polish too and i got some great results

ive got some mer and use it when i want a change its decent stuff ! but as said theres better stuff out there !

Can't go wrong with Autoglym super resin polish followed up by Autoglym extra gloss protection. Pretty cheap too.

mate of mine is a pro car valeter, and he says it is the nuts mega for removing tar and the like. But he finds his self using products that are quicker to use if you like

[kcsaxo]

good stuff but a little expensive for what it is as my recent run in with it produced decent results but nothing amazing. still have tons of it left and would reccommend for availability.

Yesssshh!
I have some Shampoo called "Mer"
Good Stuff

Prefer Autoglym and Megs etc, stuff thats recommended on Detailing World mainly.
So never used the stuff, but can safely say that AG, Megs, and anything else recommended on DW are good.

good for in the winter, can be applied while the car is wet. But there are much better things out there that wont leave your car smelling like an orange.

I went to the Southampton Boat Show last weekend and there was a Mer stand there with a guy demonstrating how easy it is to use. I was pretty amazed by how easy he was removing tar off a section of bonnet.
I think Mer has some sort of wax in it is repel water, because when he sprayed water on the polished surface (like rain would appear), the water formed in droplets. What fascinated me was the fact you can use a low pressure hose to 'chase' the droplets of water off the car and it leaves the car completely dry. Drying the car using water, now thats a thought lol.

I can do that with my car. Infact, you can do that with any car thats got wax on.

I have found 'mer' a pain in the arse at getting off once left to dry, alot of elbow grease!
My personal current favourite is Megs cleaner polish, I had a free sample with a clay kit I bought, and I can say it's the best I have ever used. It smells good too.

i sell zymol and is very expensive stuff but does the job just lovely can get a huge discount on all there range of products
