Personally, a kit with pads/polishes sounds like a better deal like the Menzerna one, costs only RM120 and you get pads and liquids, in Malaysia itself, RM120 would only get you pads and not liquids. Too bad the Hydrotech kit is out of stock coz I think that's a more complete set.

Basically, for a simple kit, you'll need at least 1 cutting pad, 2 polishing pads, 1 finishing pad, and also well, if you want, another pad for applying sealant/wax. That's the bare minimum in my opinion, although that would also mean you would need to clear your pads more when "on the job" but if you're not detailing for money, it's not an issue since time is essence if you're detailing for money.

Bro, you forgot to factor in the shipping (unless you're talking about 'kirim' to somebody than it's ok la....)

Heck.. Even if you got the Menzerna set and didn't want to liquids, I could probably offer a swap with some *proven*(well, to most people anyway) Meguiar's liquids tongue.gif

CARS International is, cheap and fast, no, wait, they ain't exactly cheap coz I remember they needed some kind of membership thing.

Unfortunately, like you had already mentioned earlier on, most of the car wash centres are just "so-so", I'm seriously not quite sure who to go to around your area, unless you want to try one of them mobile detailers, which, of course, you need to let them know it's a MPV and a ladder's necessary. Personally, I don't wash my truck myself coz it's too much hassle and, oh well, it's a company ride.

Well.. That's the world today, everything moves too fast, unless you don't mind paying for boutique type of services which will take their time to get the job well done and, of coz, would cost quite a bit more.

Oh...ya lor. Forgot about that. Then may I suggest something. Buy online and find a local address over there where you can ship it to and pick it up when you're there. Then you'd be exempted from VAT and only need to pay £96.....even cheaper eh....

Sorry to interrupt a bit, I have got one Mother's Fender Brush and one Mother's Tire Brush to let go... Used once only, gotta let go cause I find it difficult for the fender brush to work.

Buying equipment from oversea, the warranty is always a concern.

I would spend extra to have local warranty, unless you are very resourceful.
