Meguiar's Detailer Correction Compound 3.78L $161.95, Ultimate Compound 473ml $22.71, Degreaser 3.8L $31.96 (20% off) @ Sparesbo

130

EDIT: Don't forget to use CashRewards or Shopback, or whichever you prefer, or is the best value. Ensure your AdBlocker is switched off and no other tabs are open when you click on the store link. I like ShopBack because it gives me a detailed click history and exact date for when my refund will be made.

Bought a few more Meguiars products. The 473ml compound is several dollars cheaper than Supercheap Auto's current sale (about $29). I figured I'd get the 3.78l for long-term savings.

There's also an All Purpose Cleaner which I purchased link Good for interior fabrics when used carefully with good quality brushes (like a hog's hair brush).

Only thing left is a high quality metal spray nozzle (like the one shown in the video below), a few brushes, and I'd like to try the CarPro HydrO2 Lite Wipeless Silica Sealant (also shown in video) but they are much cheaper on Amazon US than AU, but postage is too high so I will try to find a reasonably priced one somewhere in Aus.

Very much recommend the following YouTube videos for detailing (he also supplies links for all the products he uses in his description section):
Exterior Detailing - link
Interior Detailing - link

I also bought an Autel MD808Pro OBD2 Scanner the other day. Quite cheap compared to the ridiculous Amazon prices for the same unit. However, the seller I bought it from doesn't have PayPal, so Ebay vouchers are not usable. BUT, I had Ebay on the phone while I was making the purchase because there was no Add To Cart button, and I called to ask if I could still use the coupon, genuinely thinking all sellers must have Paypal. The Ebay rep said yes, it can be applied once I am in the final stage of checkout, and I went ahead and pressed Confirm to Buy. But there was nowhere to input the voucher code (in this case the PIXIES code). Both the rep and I hadn't seen that the seller doesn't offer Paypal as a payment method. Since the rep told me I could use the code, I was offered a $50 voucher on my account.

Will let you know how the scanner goes. It has very good reviews and I was told about it by a guy on the phone from Bursons. Hopefully it's genuine, complete, and works on my car so I can go to mechanics armed with some knowledge of what really needs fixing!

    Cool story bro! Decent price from Sparesbox as usual

    • Hehe, thanks. I'll have to compare Shopback to Supercheap from now on.

    Just as I was running out of my Poorboys APC. Thanks!

    • You're welcome. I'd never heard of Sparesbox before, or hadn't noticed. Glad I finally did.

  • no local pickup? $7.99 shipping for Meguiars Smooth Surface Quick Clay Bar Kit 473mL :-(

      $12.95 to my area. Should've bought one myself but have one from another good brand (just not sure if it's still any good). Looks like the minimum for free shipping is around $50.

    I do not have good experience with spare box. I bought oil filters for my car, they never sent ended up getting refund.

    • Sorry to hear that. Did they give a reason?

      • They did not give any reason. I bought via ebay and item was ebay plus. I had to open dispute. Time waster.

    • I've seen quite a few bad reviews just by googling. The impression i get is poor service if you have any issues.

      • Trustpilot gives it a solid 4/5 with nearly three thousand reviews, but I've just read some discouraging posts on ProductReview which I think you're referring to. Nevertheless, it gets a 3.8/5. Anything below 4 is unacceptable, though, and the customer service seems quite lazy and incompetent. It is the minority, however. I hope their service improves because many of their prices are very competitive.

        • There are quite a few bad reviews on trust pilot as well. As i said, if you get the product with no issues, then all is good but if there is an issue, you will likely have poor service.

          I wouldn't even consider the price of the Ultimate compound to be that good. SCA had it for $20.99 during the Australia day sales. They do have some very good prices sometimes like the autoglym polar blast. I found brakes components during this 20% off sale to only be about 5% cheaper than elsewehere. Take these brake rotors for eg (part number DBA4654S-10). A pair at sparesbox on sale are $394 delivered. At Brakes Direct, they are $416 delivered as their normal price so sparesbox would be significantly more without the sale.

          They also say they ultimate compound is 473ml but is actually 450ml. The photo shows 450ml and a search of the part number brings it up as 450ml.

          • @8azinga: Thanks for the info.

      • Yep, after purchasing on eBay waited one week and got a message that they will be good enough to send it to me in four weeks time. Cancelled order, and got it through another seller in two days. Great product though.

    The All Purpose Cleaner is cheaper if just buying by it's self from their eBay store once delivery is added. Thanks OP for the heads up on this product.

    • Good to know. You're welcome.
