Even if they do sell it, you'll only get the crappy foam pad that's included. Get the kit an it'll include a 5" backing plate and some assorted pads.

I am interested to see the pictures of the comparison. I am a huge fan of Meguiars, but I am contemplating giving Turbowax a try.

How does Turbowax compare to Megs NXT 2.0? I am very happy with the results 2.0 gives, but it just does not last long at all.

It be very easy to tell people or product this our that, we dont, we never claim to be the best product but we do have a great product with kick ass service, with that said I found this on the net long time ago, again I dont know the person or why he even made the test, you as the comsumer are the judge.

Just ran out of the Mother's stuff I've been using, so I ordered the shampoo/pre wax/wax. I work at a construction site, so I've turned into a bit of a clean freak, even if it does only last a day or two for me. I've noticed that good, fresh wax makes washing a LOT easier. I'll be sure to post before and afters when I get it.
