Sure is, link just lists them all.
Great find - they are really well priced here.

Gunna have one of them kits, as you say there very well priced. Just the job. The crack is with the G3 just small araes at a time with plenty of water as you go and the wedge should come up a treat.

Do not let the edge of the pad rub against any paint work .. it will rub thru in no time.

Ask me how I know ..

Do you mean the vents on the bonnet?

Personally, I've never been a fan of G3 or any of "that" range really. Its OK, but there are better products out there. I know "Poorboys SSR" range comes very highly recommended from most professional car detailers.

Lots of professional compounds, polishes etc here:

As far as detailing goes, lots of info here:

Hope you find it useful.

Well, following on from the post above, I bit the bulllet and got me a polisher. I did a huge chunk of research and decided against a random orbital as mentioned above. You can make a right mess of your paint if you don't know 100% what your doing.

Instead, I went for this:

Yes ok its from the states so is 110V and transformer is needed BUT what a great machine. I haven't started on the wedge yet, but had a few hours playing with it on the X5 and the paint looks so different now. The finish is now completly free from any swirl marks etc. I would even say for the £200 it cost me (machine, transformer, extension cable etc) its money very well spent

This thread goes into a little more detail about what they do and how to import them:
