NZ BMW 368 Report post Posted December 2, 2019 As the title says. I was looking on their website as needed some new materials and products. looks to be the whole range. I picked up some tyre dressing and rubber/plastic cleaner or dressing. First time using it, seems like good stuff. I know a lot of you guys like their stuff so would let you know just in case. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olaf 3317 Report post Posted December 2, 2019 Sadly this move is "very unhelpful" to the established NZ Distributors... My suggestion: support your local distributor! They're the ones with the knowledge, product support, being a part of the community car shows on weekends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Autoglym 255 Report post Posted December 2, 2019 Thanks for that Olaf, Yes Autoglym is now available from Super Cheap, they don't carry the full range. Any products they don't carry & you want, let me know, as I am the distributor for the lower half of the North Island, well was !! There is a bit of a back story, but I wont go into that here!!

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) I tend to try and avoid Supercheap these days. They are no longer cheap. They are flogging off utter sh*t for crazy prices. Especially any of their rubbish quality SCA electrical stuff. Where you might save a few bucks on consumables like car wash. They will rip you off on items that should be far cheaper. Take advantage of their oil sales though. Edited December 4, 2019 by Driftit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hqstu 780 Report post Posted December 3, 2019 Yes we all know that Supercheap are far from and we all know what REPCO stands for... a comfortable duopoly thanks to big marketing budgets... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zero 1162 Report post Posted December 3, 2019 I found the wheel cleaner very good. I think dragons breath is still slightly better though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many washes did you get out of the wheel cleaner? I had the Luxxio one and it was only about 10-12 washes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saw some of that at Repco... As what always happens the smaller niche players like OCD etc have tapped into a good little market. Now the bigger players are revamping and expanding their product ranges to capitalise on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GorGasm 563 Report post Posted December 4, 2019 Last wax/polish I used was Autoglym UDS and it was pretty good. For wheels, CRC Mag Monster is hands down the best wheel cleaner I have used. Beats Dragons Breathe for sure, and doesn't smell like sh*t. It doesn't go very far straight from the bottle though, so may pay to dilute 50/50. The 500mL bottle is only $13 on special and the 4L is $100 when on special (https://www.repco.co.nz/en/car-care-panel/car-care/tyre-care/crc-9309-mag-monster-mag-wheel-cleaner-4l/p/A1336147) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2078 Report post Posted December 4, 2019 Will keep an eye open for that one. As you know the wheels on this E87 are fun to clean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
