Default Any decent car care suppliers in the Northeast?

I've got the shampoo, the claybar, the quick detailer, the polish, and the wax.

That's usually enough for me but the JAE is next week and there are a few little scratches I'd like to tackle.

I was after some Megs ScratchX and possibly their swirl remover as well but I can't seem to find anywhere where I can go to to buy it. All the suppliers I can find are internet based and by the time the delivery comes I wont have time to use it before the event.

Does anyone know where I can get these products, or suitable alternatives, without having to wait for delivery?

I've looked in Hellfrauds and all their stuff seems a bit crap.

Tim at www.cleanyourcar.co.uk is based in Huddersfield, not sure if that is too far south.

It's about an hour and a half away but I'll still consider it. Thanks.

Thanks. I was hoping to get it done this weekend but if not then I'll take you up on that offer.

Really? Maybe I didn't look hard enough. I'll pop in again today and check.

yep, but it's not listed on the Web site. They do, however, stock zymol cleaner way**, good for the swirls, may be a little too gentle though.

**wax

I've got the cleaner wax (from halfords incidentally) and, although it does a reasonable job, I need something to tackle slightly deeper scratches.
Nothing too major but the cleaner wax doesn't cut the mustard. Or the paint.

The Stockton Halfords has some Megs stuff but they didn't have what I was after last time I checked.

When are you coming to look at my roof anyway?
