UK people, where do you buy your car products from?

Okay, as I note by looking around the forums that most of peoples preferred products and various other accessories aren't readily available in the UK, where do you buy your products from?

For one, I'm a Zaino user and my wife regularly visits the States, so I get her to bring it back. I know some people use American websites to order from instead.

So, where do you get your products from.

I'd quite like to have a play with some Klasse wax before I get the RX8 so I can compare with Zaino, but can't seem to find anywhere that sells it in the UK.

Anyway, list where you buy your bits from to buy into the UK.

I bought a cleaning/waxing kit from a guy called Mark Underwood, aka "The Wax Wizard" who comes highly recommended within the Subaru community on www.scoobynet.co.uk.

Here's is an example of some of his work on a scooby similar to mine: http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...threadid=85530

I believe he now works for/or sold the rights of his products to Swissol. Great stuff and intend to use it on the RX-8. Easy to apply and leaves the car looking better and shinier than showroom finish. Most of the stuff they sell in places like Halfords etc is cr4p IMHO.

It cost me £50, but Ive had the wax 2 years now and only used about 1/2 of it. I wax my car every 2-3 months normally.

Ive heard a lot on here about the Zaino stuff as well which sounds very good.

I have Klasse also, but I bought it from the US again (www.autodetail.com).

Good stuff, and i've used it more than my Zaino to be honest. Seemed pretty near as good a finish (well I couldn't tell the difference), and I found it easier to use (no waiting time between coats, only 2 products to use etc).
