Anyone have any idea what the detailing scene is like in NewZealand? I'm off there shortly for some sun and relaxation and wondered if it would be worth bringing back any products in the suit case.
I was over there about 6 Years ago,theres nothing worth bringing back that unique to NZ,the car retail outlets seemed stuck in a bit of a 70's timewarp IMHO,lots of rough looking cloths for polishing,cut back (compounds)in tins ect.
I bought a lot of Amour All cleaner and protectant(S) just because of the strong £ against the NZ$ think a B & Q type store was the cheapest.
Where are you planning on seeing?have you been before?
Yes I've been once before m8 and loved it. Going to the north Island to stay with freinds and for a week I'm going to Lake Tapau. Let's face it, anywhere would be better than here with this cr4p weather.
I'd say the detailing scene over here is 5-6 years behind the UK on most things, though you can get Mothers & Meguiars.
But no Autoglym, Zaino or Dodo, although I think Swissvax are over here.
If any of the New Zealanders here want any help, then I'll be more than willing to help (although I don't have anywhere near as much stuff as I did in the UK).
But if you want a full car machine polished I'll be hiding lol.
In nz if you want something, you import it yourself.
Stockists here only have what hey think they can flog off quickly and the thought of service simply does not enter their heads and 'made in china' seems to be something to be proud of
And where better, than in the best city in the world under 100,000
