Best Place to buy a Porter?

[job38]

Right, I've decided I'm going to buy one, I can't shift the swirls from the old Merc.

Who are the best people to buy from?
(I'm aware they're US imports etc.)

[JonRB]

Have you tried contacting him though www.sniffpetrol.com - I heard Rich will do anything for money.

Sorry, you've lost me, some private joke?

I was referring to Richard Porter, author of the satirical website www.sniffpetrol.com, columnist and writer at EVO magazine, contributing writer to the Top Gear television show and also alleged member of PistonHeads.

So not that private really.

Hi Mate


Go down your local paint shop suppler's and buy a jack sealey 6 speed or super stork polisher.

As others have said Autopia, and (generally) Screwfix for the transformer and necessary cables etc.

Also look at the Smartool and Biltema polishers as they are cheaper and very capable.

Also it's worth heading off to Detailing World as someone may be in your area who would lend/help you out if it's likely to be a one-off.

Biltema - due to buy one from nice Swedish chap on ebay for £65* delivered.
Will complete sale once the car's back on the road and fixed.

Isn't there someone in the UK who stocks them?

Yes but they are stupid prices

Wait till next month, David the guy who owns Autopia has a 240v improved version of the PC coming out

[PJ S]

You mean the Meguiar's branded version? Or has Porter decided to make their own one Euro compatible/compliant?

[morebeanz]

It's the "Ultimate Detailing Machine" soon to be available for Autopia in 240v form. Meguiar's are also releasing something similar soon, although the perceived wisdom is that the UDM will be better...

[belleair302]

The meguiars one look like its a PC rebranded! The Autopia people will send one over for around £80 the you need to buy heads, pads and a transformer plus an extension cable. All in expect to pay no more than £160. Best money you have ever spent if you like you car to look stunning!

Whats the damage regarding import duty and vat and Parcelforce's collection fee for the above ?

Cheers

I've got a Brand New one purchased a couple of months ago that i've never got around to using , it also comes with various pads and swirl removers as part of a kit.

PM or e-mail for any further info required.
