Not yet, they're working on it You can get to their site by clicking the link in my sig(www.tropi-care.com), you can order online, or there may be a regional distributor in your area you can order through. The have distributors all over including in Australia now. It's not too expensive, especially for the quality of product, and if you buy a kit it saves a lot of money as well.

here's a tip, dont go to the spray it yourself car washers
i only wash my car if i can get fresh water, they cant filter it enough there
and when winter comes, ur gonna be spraying your car with salt water

mr. clean autodry works wonders, and i just bought maguire's synthetic sealant
professionaly grade, much better then normal wax, it was $45 shipped for a 64 oz. container

I use cloth baby diapers and NO soap... Learned that from my dad and his Corvette. It takes longer but I don't trust any abrasive cleaners. As for wax, use Meguiars

Am I the only person that doesn't like Meguiars? There is nothing like a MOTHERS shine hands down! I used to detail cars professionally as well, and all my customers loved the MOTHERS shine I put on their rides!
1. Mothers Car Wash with high quality dogbone sponge
2. Simple Green Automotive Cleaner for the wheels/tires (less harsh on the finish)
3. The Absorber to dry the car
4. Mothers Carnuba Cleaner Wax or Mothers Relections or Mother FX
5. Definitely use Microfiber towels and wax mitts
6. Eagle One tireshine applied with an Eagle One applicator (Put this on before you wax)
7. The interior is my little secret, but mothers products will work very well there too!

every body hear seems to lean towards Meguiar products. i went to there (meguiars) web site and found out that they have about 2 products for the same job! so which ones should i look for then. liquids to pastes to polishes? i ve used turtle wax on my black cavalier and after 6 months, it still shined like new after a good wash. i ve also use the Mr Clean autoclean car wash and i ll swear by this product! although i still need elbow grease. just wondering which meguiars products to get, since they have so many. thx guys & gals
