do you guys still do group buys on Meguiars products? I bought some stuff a few years back through Topazman on here and wondered if you still do it? Since Halfords now stock the stuff, is it just as handy & cheap to go through them? ------------- Tom E39 1997 523i Oxford Green (Sold) ___________________________ |

| I'd be interested in a Meguiars group buy too. Is Meguiars the best polish out there though? I use the Turtle Wax Platnium series and find it good but I think it could be a bit better. |

Last summer Halford were doing a 3 for 2 offer on Meguairs, IIRC it was on all cleaning products, can't see a group buy beating that for value, not once carriage is taken into account. I'd keep an eye out for Halfords doing the same this year. -------------

Just read on a UK VW forum that Halfords are doing that deal again at the moment. DOnt know if it applies to the Irish stores but worth a look. ------------- 1991 Alpina B10 Bi-Turbo 1991 VW Golf GTI 8v Turbo |

Just looking at some of those prices.... Absolutely nuts, we really get fleeced over here, both Ireland and the UK on that stuff. I luckily get over to the states once a year and Megs is for buttons. Even if you don't know where to look, Walmart do a lot of their stuff. Hotwheels cleaner was around $6, NXT gen wax was $13, generic microfibers were $6 for 8 - 12" square. Something to keep in mind if you are going or know somebody going over. ------------- E39 530d Touring |

Well, at least consistency is something we can all rely on, as the last time I looked 'we' get it in the a%se over everything, not just Meguiars, How much is the E92 M3 in the US?...... -------------

KB I read that but have also read that they are $80,000 even at $100,000 it is still €40,000 cheaper than Ireland. ------------- Dave Ryle  "The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it." -- George Bernard Shaw |
