hi all at last it has all arrived. picked it all up this evening from Birmingham airport after it had all been stranded at Copenhagen airport for 5 days due to pilots strike!!! so i have started to wade through all the orders and start to pack things up
ive done a few tonight tho please bear with me as i have approx 120 to do. there are still approx 30% of people who havent paid yet so can i please ask for people to get the money off to me. there are a few that ordered and have never been in touch again !!
the ones done tonight will hopefully get posted tomorrow and i hope to get rest off on saturday.
many many thanks to all of you that have paid promptly john -------------

hi yes all the microfibre you have been supplied can be washed in washing machine 40 degrees BUT DO NOT USE FABRIC CONDITIONER!!!!!!!!
it affects the pile and makes it far less efective i wash mine after every use but its up to you.i like to know its contaminant free when i use

wash car as normal then when properly rinsed just use towel as you would use a chamois wipe down car panel by panel it will soak water up and will not smear. iam constantly amazes me every time i use one how good they are. john -------------

Hi Jon, Only just caught up with this thread. Wasn't sure what it was about until I found the original post. Have been using microfibre cloths for polishing for some time but haven't seen the waffles. They sound brill. Any chance of Two waffles, two applicators and a mitt if you have any left. PM me with details and I'll stick you a cheque straight in the post. Cheers Steve. ------------- 1998 E36 318iS Saloon 1989 E30 318i. Coupe 2000 E39 520i Touring

jon, i would like to take the oportunity to both thank you for the delivery and also comment on the outstanding performance of the product. today i washed the car (with the mitt) and then dried it with the 'amazing' waffle, as you stated it dried a whole car without being rung out. I have recommended the product to my friends and family. i have achieved an outstanding finish in half the time it has took using traditional methods. many thanks. ------------- E30 M3 1990.

you are so welcome and hearing comments like that make it all worth while changing peoples perceptions and habits is hard when everyone else uses sponges and chamois so why would those be better the truth is that they are far far superior and once used you will never look back iam glad you are happy.as i say i would not use them unless they were the best. the waffle weaves are especially amazing in my eyes for anyone that still wants anything please just give me a shout

John,
Washed my car yesterday (changing a habit of a lifetime ) and I have to say that the mitt, though strange at first, is a lot better than a sponge. What I was most impressed with was the polishing pads. They made life so much easier.
Only downside to washing was I have found some rust on the inside lip of a wheel-arch 
Thanks for organising this and I hope you made something on it. Cheers, Phil ------------- |

John, My gear turned up in the week so have given the mitt and a waffle a try on saturday. Well impressed, The waffle works a treat and I'm really sold on using a mitt for washing now so I guess I better get one of the new type mitt for removing polish from the car. I'll send you a PM with an order. Once again thanks and here's a pic of the car duly mitted and waffled, Steve.
