I visited www.finishlineperformance.com where i hoped to order my zoom zoom cleaner, happily i entered my address and proceeded to the checkout, where they wanted me to pay $87.00 shipping to the UK!! $87.00 WTF!!!!!

So does anyone know where i can get the zoom zoom cleaner shipped to the UK without actually having to pay 3 times what the stuff is even worth i'd be happy to buy some off some1 and them to ship it to me.... my 8 is going in the my local car guy next week for new plugs and leads and some eibachs so i want him to decarb my engine while its there, so can any1 help me

I just got mine from the local dealership for like 30 dollars maybe less. Don't know if that's an option for you. Or you could try and use seafoam which is more or less the same thing just not in an aresol can.

The Finishline page says you can mail them for a USPS quote, UPS is expensive to Europe. I noticed the same.

Also I believe liquids need to be sea shipped?!

It is very hard to find those products in europe and since they are pressurized you can't air ship them.
Anyway we tend to use denaturalized water, there's who likes this method and who prefers to seafoam but in the end it is up to personal preferences. Just remember to do it with old spark plugs

Here's a video made by a fellow friend ( cmeasso ) of our italian board on how to do it: http://www.exformat.tv/rx8/
