Trip to the uk...anything to get?

My family is from the uk and my mom is taking a trip there in the coming months.... Is there any products sold there that are not sold in the US that are sought after?

Meguiars m101 although ment for european market isn't sold in the UK that's really the one product I was hoping for... Lol I'll try and convince my mom to take a trip on the Chunnel to Europe and find me some lol

 

I am very interested in the Bilt Hamber Finis Wax, Naviwax, and some Permanon stuff.

 

Isn't permanon a us company

Edit - Nm I see the stuff now

 

Sweet looks like shinearama is in Manchester where my mom will be

 

get the new megs compound and bring it back and sell it for a profit LOL.............

 

I would get some of the Nanolex products since you can't get them over here yet.

 

If she was to bring stuff back from the UK, is there a process? Or do you just stick it in the bag and you are good to go? I have never done it thats why I ask.

 

Check TSA and customs guidelines, I think there may be a limit on what you can declare etc etc. Best thing to do is buy what you need and ship it back............one or two products probably would not be an issue, but bringing back a ton of stuff would.

 

I'm thinking small scale that can fit in a suit case... Few small scale stuff like 1-3 small products

@ Kilo that's the Meg's m101 I mentioned in the original post.... Sadly not carried in the uk nor will it be according to Meg's ... Doesn't make sense cause last I checked uk was part of Europe lol

 

Hook up the Finis Wax dude!! its small.lol

 

LOL.... maybe they pissed off the rest of the EU, I have been meaning to ask my sister to find me some, she lives in Berlin..

Pick up some schol's polishes......... good stuff too

 

Yup, another product line I would like to try. Heard nothing but good things.

 

I would get some of the Nanolex products. No one sells them in the U.S. so far

 

Make that a third or fourth or whatever vote for Bilt Hamber Finis-Wax. On top of that I'd add Dodo Juice Bouncer's 22 wax although it will probably arrive here eventually through normal distribution, Bilt Hamber medium or soft clay and Bilt Hamber white foam wax/sealant applicators. I think Nanolex is setting up US distribution but, if not, Nanolex is another good option (small bottles). Raceglaze (waxes, mitts, brushes, leather supplies) and Rubbish Boys Original Edition wax might be worth considering too. The Scholl Concepts polishes, especially 17+ and maybe 40 or 30, should also be considered if space and money allows.

 

I'll add my vote for Bilt Hamber's Finis wax, as well as their clay (better even than yellow Erazer clay, IMO) and their foam applicators. Menzerna Fast Gloss 500 is worth taking a look at too, and that new combination tar/iron remover by Concours Car Care looks interesting.

 

Magifoam?

 

Do you get Gtechniq in the US ? If not thats something to seriously look at.....

 

It is available in the US. Not sure if I can say the name of the company on here , but they are well known and they carry the line thats for sure.

 

Anyone know roughly how much it costs to ship stuff from the uk.... Lol in case my list gets to long

So far -

Bilthamber finis wax
bilthamber applicators
bilthamber clay
menzerna fg500

 

It has been a long time since I've done this so don't take any of this to the bank. There will be some kind of form that needs to be filled out to either get the VAT waived or refunded. It used to be that it was much cheaper to pay the airline rates for extra luggage/weight as opposed to shipping. This may no longer be true. Small packages are probably cheapest sent by mail but they aren't trackable. For something like a fifteen to twenty pound box you're probably looking at the $100 ballpark for shipping via DHL or UPS.
