The Polishing Company - Special Deal for MBClub Members.

[Goldfish11]

Michael Milbourne runs the Polishing Company who are one of the UK suppliers for P21S has seen the "How to create the perfect paintwork show car shine" thread (http://mbclub.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=11486 ) and has got in touch with me.

The website is:

www.thepolishingcompany.com

He has kindly offered to put a special pack together for MBClub Members, I had a little discussion with him and thought the following would be useful to members. So this is his offering.

I would be happy to put a kit together for your members as follows

1 Complete P21S car care Kit with a choice of either lambs wool wash mitt OR large Microfibre Chamois OR Large microfibre Drying Towel (worth £12.95 each)
This would retail to members for £59.99 plus p&p which would be about 20% off normal retail
It includes shampoo wheel gel cleaner and wax plus a 2oz 303 protectant for trim and I’ll add in a microfibre polish cloth worth £4.50. P&P is £10

This is more than half the cost of a basic Zymol kit

The Complete P21S car care kit includes (as taken from the website):

Complete Car Care Kit

A complete kit to clean polish and wax your car.

The Kit includes a non detergent shampoo and a super wheel gel to make your wheels sparkle.

The highly rated and recommended P21S Gloss Enhancing Polish then prepares your paintwork for waxing and giving it a super smooth finish with a stunning shine.

Finally, apply the P21S Concours Look Wax for stunning depth of shine and protection. Easy to apply and easy to take off... The best value wax and polish kit available.

This deal will mean you can either get a nice lambs wool mitt so you can maintain the shine (but do use the 2 bucket method), or drying towls etc. I think this is very good value.

We have had some long email discussions but here are a couple of extracts -

"All waxes (carnauba) no matter how good ‘die’ after about 8-12 weeks so this is about the maximum you can expect. P21S lasts very well and lasts easily 8 weeks in the British weather. I rate the P21S very highly. A friend who is a Zymol authorised detailer was amazed at the results and he uses nothing less than Vintage at £1400 per jar ! "

"I also own a red M3 (E30) I used to use Zymol Titanium but the shine didn’t last...... With P21S you only need to polish the car once a year (or twice if you are fanatical) and then just wax every few weeks to maintain the shine."

For those who don't want to go through the pain of doing the complete perfect shine process this kit should get you some excellent results.

Please email Michael at: [email protected] or telephone on 01379 640208 and quote MBCLUBGOLDFISH for the deal. This will not be available through the PolishingCompany website, but if there are any other bits you need do phone Michael as I am sure he may be able to do you a deal or advise you, Polishing is after all his business.

He has also said he would love to come along to a GTG to meet up with us, he has done this for a few clubs including TVR so it may be worth taking him up on this offer if you are arranging a GTG.

I have also put this submission on the end of the How to.... but thought it worth putting in favorites so we can find it in the future.

The Polishing Company - Special Deals update

Mike at the Polishing Company has been working with me to provide a unique car care system suited to the Mercedes Vehicles. The Car-Lack Nano Technology Car Care system gives an alternative to traditional polishes giving high levels of UV protection and withstanding far greater temperatures. Actually Car-Lack 68 is neither a polish or a wax, but a combination of cleaners and preservers. CarLack is very similiar to Klasse (and may actually be made by the same people ) but offers 10-20% improvements in performance.

Further to my brief introduction to CarLack in the start of the thread I thought it would be worth giving more detail. Car–Lack products have been around in Germany for over 20 years and the new “nano-technology” polish, so called because of the extremely small size of the particles used. It was awarded a Gold medal for surface protection as long ago as 1986! In 2004 Car-Lack announced a new formula Nano technology systematic care combining within one product a cleaner, tar remover, rust dissolver, preserver and the new formula acrylic wax coving surfaces with a micro fine covering. Car-Lack was selected by Mercedes Benz as a supplier as long ago as 1986. There motto is Quality not Quantity, (a view shared by Mike at The Polishing Company who has taken on only the best products in their class).
It should be noted that Car-Lack do not advocate the use of P21S or any other carnauba waxes on top of their products. However at show level this is common to produce the wet look shine that is so much admired and this is key to creating that amazing perfect shine.

Please note….. preparation is everything…… you can’t take a dull swirl marked surface to showroom shine without some work first. Depending on the state of the paintwork it may need compounding and polishing. This creates the shine. The polishes and waxes just enhance it.. If you don't enjoy giving the car a good Polish and wax you can always pay someone to do it to a professional level. So if you’d like your car professionally prepared without having to buy all the stuff in the kit then Mike will be happy to quote for detailing including, cleaning, paint decontamination, compounding, polishing and waxing plus interior care. To do it properly takes more than a couple of hours with a mop and some compound! So be warned if you want Mike to do the job for you prices start at £150 plus vat and expenses!

Mike also wants to personalise these to the MBCLUB so if anyone can forward the nice Logo or pictures so he can put this on the box for us that would be great!

So here are the kits and details of the products, we have tried to put together deals for every pocket! :

The products:
Car-Lack 68 Systematic Car Care.

Mike is setting up the website so we can do purchases through this at somepoint, we just need to use the appropriate code.

Hopefully this will be up and running in the near future. I am sure he will offer the kits to other customers but he is doing something special for us. Email or give him a ring if you want more details.
