there you go - Its the same one as Meguairs sell in America - only with a Meguairs sticker instead of a Porter Cable sticker. Apparently Meguiars are working on a British version which will be available early next year but need one for a christmas present so dont want to wait

That MaxTool site is infact American! With import taxes etc works out more expensive than Autopia.

UK supply without the need to import complete kits with transformer etc

They are all out of stock though unfortunately according to the site

 

[Rich]

I would import your own anyway to be honest.

Might be better off PM'ing 182Blue see if he's got any

 

[caymanr26]

Yes indeed you are better and cheaper importing one from Autopia ,thats where i got mine and they are excellent to deal with.If i remember correct it arrived in 4 days.
Buying from someone in this country is a big no no as the pcs are not ce marked ,and its not legal for a trader/traders to be selling these

There is a link on Detailing world which shows you the process in buying them from Autopia

Do you guysonly use your PC to polish or apply sealants/ glazes too? I have never PC'd my car but was in great shape when I bought it and taken top care of it myself, I know it would improve the finish marginally PCing it, but do you think its worth the investment? I have been deliberating whether to get one or not for the past 6 months...still can't decide. :S

 

[Rich]

Sealants and wazes I normally apply by hand, the exception being Megs #16.

Polished and Glazes nearly all the time by machine. Products like Clearkote VM and Autoglym SRP work even easier by machine.

Yeh... thinking will finally give in and get one in the new year. Will be appreciating saving time on the polishing more than anything! Cheers for the feedback Rich.
