i have a load of mothers stuff, i like it, the reflections stuff is quite good , the rest of the range is good too

Showtime (QD) is very good - it's my extra special QD along with Sonus Carnuana Spritz.

I didn't get on with Reflections - smeared and just didn't do it for me and also smells VERY chemical-ly

Duration tyre dressing's nice but not much of a shine and TBH it doesn't last any longer than any others I've used.

Carnuaba Cleaner Wax is OK - on a par with Poorboys PWC perhaps

Alloy Wheel Polish/Sealant is VERY good - tend to reserve it for the 205 as it's a small bottle.

Overall as a range I'd rate it there or thereabouts with Meguiars consumer - i.e. very good but better available.

I bought some FX Synwax whilst in the states, it was on offer at Pepboys, but havn`t used it yet. It was just too cheap not to get, if you know what i mean.

the wheel polish is very good, and the 3 step system is good also, comparable to meg 3 step i guess

[Alex L]

is the wheel polish for clearcoated wheels or just metal ones?

[182_blue]

its for clearcoat , guess it can be used on just metal too

[Alex L]

how does it compare to Wheel Wax?

[182_blue]

I got a powerball off of ebay. Works really well, also works on the exhaust tips on my R32 as well. ;)

Hi all

I have just put another order in with Ron at motorgeek I have ordered Mothers reflections top coat and Mothers spray wax has anybody used these two products and if so what are Your view.

I do hope the reflections top coat is top notch because it's not cheap;)

I think the Mothers Reflections has changed since the bottle in that pic. It now comes with a different bottle and label design and I think the formulation may have been tweeked slightly.

Yesterday, I went over my car with the new Mothers FX Syn Wax and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with this stuff, buffing off is an absolute breeze. Easily as good as products such as NXT, EXP etc. Very glossy reflective look. I'm gonna put some Reflections Top Coat over it if we get another mild weekend soon and see if it changes the look for better or worse.

Also used the Reflections Tire Care which is also very nice stuff and smells great, results are pretty similar to Poorboys BnB - after a few more uses I think I may end up liking it even more than BnB.

Guys,

I know I am a newbie but just want to mention, the Mother's Powerball cannot be legally sold in the UK due to trademark infringement. Farecla have a similar product out here that has been trademarked.
If you want a Powerball you will need to get it from the US unless you can find a Mother's supplier in the Uk who still has some

I have been using Mother's for over a year now on all my clients cars and have always been impressed with the finish. Would be interested to see it up against Zaino as that is the current favorite in the US with the modding guys.
