Ok so this is a bit of a long shot but does anyone know any decent places to get detailing products in Germany? It doesn't have to be actual shops even online sites. The prices of shipping from the UK is a bit steep but I'm struggling to source my favourite stuff, Dodo Juice, Poor Boys etc even Megs is difficult to find and overly expensive when I do. I've only recently moved here so I've not gone fully native yet so I'm not very clued up on alternatives, I'm sure there's hundreds of good German products but at the moment I'm hankering after my old favourites. Any help is greatly appreciated.

hmm... good question.. have you tried asking this question on DW?
-
theres a meguiars in turkey :undecided:
whats the equaliviant of halfords over there?
-
Not yet but I will! As for an equivalent to Halford's there are places but as with Halfords it's mostly sh*t they sell. I am really after specific stuff, apologies if Halfords have improved their range but when I left it was a little Megs and Autoglym, of which I'm not a big fan, and the rest was mostly over-priced crap. I can get some stuff on amazon.de but it's pretty limited and expensive.

You could try PolishedBliss as i`m sure they ship all over the world
-
eBay? Some seller's may ship to Germany.
-
We ship to Germany for what I think is a reasonable amount. Postage rates just depend on order weight.

I have tried to use Waxamomo but whenever I try to log in it doesn't recognise my password anymore or e mail so I've given up. I still get e mails from you but I can't access my account :sad:
-
you could always re-register?
or try ebay.de

I could re-register but to be honest I'm a bit peeved I've lost my reward points. E bay is a shout though!
-
i've a friend who wont use waxamomo as his points dissapeared when the site changed over,
you cant get a discount with them though :wink:
-
Yeah I'm a bit miffed I deliberately hadn't used them so I could maybe get a decent saving on something big but now I can't get on the site. As for it being reasonably priced delivery, 20 quid for 2 panel pots! I paid 3 euro to post a shoe box full of baby clothes to Scotland last week, that's reasonable, 20 notes for 2 panel pots that only come to 11.95 is too much.
-
Nobody ever lost any reward points, we changed shop software and so were unable to copy the reward points over, an e-mail was sent out to everybody though to say I would give them a discount code to cover the reward points for the first order on the new site, and then after that you get the new discount scheme which is 5% off.
As for the 2 panel pots for £20 postage, that is only if you select UPS as your delivery method, there is also a cheaper option with Royal Mail which I would guess to be about £3.
Again with the account not working, another e-mail was sent out (could have been the same one) to say that there was a generic password, but if this didn't work then just to re-register.
If you want me to look into your points and get a discount code made for you to cover the value of the points, just drop me an e-mail with your name and e-mail and i'll look into it for you.
It looks like I may need to send out another e-mail to explain the points above.
-
I do apologise. Three pound postage is very reasonable if all products are similar postage then I think my problem has been solved! I must admit since I moved I haven't been paying much attention to my e mails, I wasn't aware there has been a change on the website but it does explain the problems I have had. I really should emphasise how happy I was with waxamomo before I moved I'll be delighted if I can keep using them over here!
-
I've read my reply back and it seems a bit of a rant which it wasn't suppose to be sorry. I've explained it better here:

p.s. thanks for the kind words in your last reply, much appreciated :smiley:
-
Don't apologise for your reply, I can understand you are probably fed up trying to explain this to people such as myself! I have re-registered but I am still getting 19.95 for delivery, royal mail is the only option the site will allow me to use. Am I missing something here?
