+1 Chris is a top bloke, let him know what you want to achieve and your budget and he'll sort you out!
You can get some bits and bobs from halfrauds but if your serious about looking after your car then online is where it's at as it's more cost effective! :wink:

whats already been said really....

1. halfords only stock megs and autoglym... there is far more choice out there with better, more cost effective products on offer
2. in halfords you might get carried away and make impulse purchases... online you will stick to your budget
3. you save an hour of your life trekking back and forth to halfords
4. you can have a nice cup of tea and some toast buying online

as long as you mix it with a good percentage of carnauba wax that will be just fine... after all what do you think car wax is based on?
