Postby mx5ash » Tue, 20 May 2008 9:51 +0000

Gareth in detailed obsession has kindly offered all mx5irland members a 5-7% discount depending on the size of the order.
Have a look at the site there are some fantastic cleaning products on there at competitive prices.

That's great Ash - thanks for organising that. I'll try to get a good look through the site later.

Steve, with regards to the tea tree oil.......how did you find this out? I often wonder who was first to, for example, decide to try rubbing tea tree oil onto their car to see what it would do......

A great tip - and I'm sure it is cheaper than the "branded" products.

An Australian friend put me on to it.. it also disolves Ronseal(don't ask how I know), tar, bugs, chewing gum, is a disinfectant, an antiseptic and generally "good for what ails ye".

On the topic of tea-tree oil -

Sean, I wonder is that what killed Cleopatra - maybe she stuck some up her asp................


Of more relevance to the thread - thanks again, Ash, for organising the deal with Detailed Obsession. I have been emailing Gareth over the past few days for advice on what products to use etc. and last night ordered a heap of stuff from him, and got the discount you mentioned. One possible downside to the deal is the shipping costs to Ireland - though not his fault. Given the size/weight of the order I put in I had it shipped to Belfast for the princely sum of £4.95. Had it been sent to Ireland it would have cost upwards of £30!

Can't wait for it to arrive and have a good go at getting the swirl marks out of the beemer (black is such a good colour when it is an overcast day and the car is clean.....but on a sunny day every imperfection shows up).

Oh, thats interesting.. the comments below the article are well worth a read for a "balanced" view on the issue.

Still... I'll stop using it if the car gets a rash from it. :wink:


I've found shipping costs from the UK to be very inconsistant.. 30stlg for how many bottles?
Can't be heavier than the 4 tyres that were couriered to me from the UK for 7stlg last month.. (www.camskills.co.uk)

Hi Steve,

Just checked the mail I got back from Gareth, and he says shipping costs should be between £25 and £30 (so not in excess of £30 as previously stated!). The cost would be so much as I decided, to make me feel better after Chelsea's defeat on Wednesday night, to comfort buy a polishing machine also. In addition, some of the bottles I ordered are 32oz. Perhaps the alloys you ordered are maybe being sent as part of a larger (regular)consignment.

I looked at a number of sites, and the rates are comparable. Some sites offered "free shipping" (to the UK), but their prices were about £1 or so dearer per item....so not really free afterall.
