Shine On?

Advantages: None I can think of.
Disadvantages: An expensive car polish that doesn't do an effective job.

I first came across MER car polish donkey's years back when I used to do the rounds of various exhibitions while still earning my crust as a salesman. I'm sure that many of you who have ever attended an "ideal home exhibition" or the Motor Show have seen the product being demonstrated. In fact for many years I believe this was the *ONLY* way the product was marketed. The demonstrators/salespeople used to purchase a franchise, and then do the rounds ...
...veracity of their claims for MER polish was to get an old car bonnet, (the old Mini bonnet was the favourite choice) polish it up using MER, and then pour a small amount of lighter fuel over it and set it alight. A big whoosh of flame followed, the flames were then doused, and lo and behold the bonnet's paintwork was still sparkling and pristine with nary a blemish to be seen! Of course, what they *DIDN'T* tell you was that any car polish would have ...

Review of Mer Car Polish

Mervelous car polish . . .

Advantages: Polish anytime, any weather.
Disadvantages: Price?

...heard people "wax" lyrical about Mer but never used it. Glad I gave it a try now. The polish is suitable for all paint finishes, including metallic, you can also use it on your caravan, bike, upvc windows or anywhere else you need a good shine. The polish comes in a plastic container, coloured blue, in the following sizes, half litre, one litre, three litres, and the massive trade size of ten litres. Recommended retail prices range from £11 for ...
...they are not too deep. MER also do a Scratch & Stone Chip Removal Kit (see review by ucjtckc) The Conpany has a website - see here:- http://www.merproducts.com/ Address is:- Mer Products LTD Whitehead House 120 Beddington Lane Croydon Surrey CRO 4TD Tel 020 8401 0002 Email address is sales@merproducts.com Just one small niggle, they do insist on using "childproof" caps, and I find these a pain to open, especially when you have wet polish ...

Review of Mer Car Polish

Mer the only car polish you will ever need.

Advantages: Can use in sun and on wet car
Disadvantages: Can leave white residue

MER ****** Mer have been around for over 20 years so should have some experience in the car cleaning and polishing business. Products *********** Not only do their product range clean cars, but they also clean boats,caravans, trucks and bikes. Trial packs are available that contain polish, shampoo and windscreen cleaner each contain 100ml for about £9 that is not a bad price to see if the products are any good. Carpet cleaner,leather cleaner ...
...Mer sell Not only do they do cleaning products but they do scratch and stone chip removal as well £30. Where to buy *************** QVC the shopping channel sell a good selection of Mer products, and Motor World also stock Mer. Mer Polish ************ Bought my Mer kit from QVC as a todays special value. The kit included two 500ml bottles of Mer and a windscreen cleaner. This cost about £18 which was good value as normally you pay £10 for ...

Review of Mer Car Polish

'Old Faithful' but not without Effort

Advantages: Lustrous water shedding deep shine
Disadvantages: Still needs elbow grease

...most well known product by Mer which you are likely to have seen being trumpeted at exhibitions, on TV or at local markets. There always seems to be a an old red mini bonnet which is set afire, then goes hideously black. The miracle of Mer 'effortlessly ' it seems quickly restores it gleaming red and shedding water like little pearly beads. Not quite the reality I have experienced over extended periods. Yes, it is a good product which we have used ...
...then needs several applications of Mer rubbed on then polished off to get back a deep and consistent shine. Particularly so on fibreglass which tends to yellow, absorb stains and just lose its 'showroom' gleam. I prefer the 500ml size since its more stable than its larger stablemates, but it still has a tendency to fall over when knocked. The shiny cap can cometimes be a pain to undo, know doubt childproofed to stop them helping! Lots of new products ...

Review of Mer Car Polish

MER LIN MAGIC IS WHAT THEY SHOULD NAME MER CAR POLISH

Advantages: Can be put on in the sun, buffs off easily, gives great result.
Disadvantages: No negatives at all

...Nottingham just to buy my Mer supplies. That was about 20 years ago and fortunately it's now stocked by some major suppliers throughout the UK and long journeys to buy it are no longer necessary. Over the years I've used this product on various cars in various colours, it's amazing on black cars as you don't get swirley marks that are often associated with black cars. It is by far the easiest polish to apply and you can put on in the sun and take ...
...you look at the price of equivalent products for example Autoglym which is also a carauba wax you'll find that Mer is much better value. Mer is the only polish I know that you can use in the sun without it baking on. I definately recommend this product. ...

Review of Mer Car Polish

Mer - it's what they are talking about in my local!

Advantages: easy to use, long lasting
Disadvantages: looks like a product for a man!

I came accross Mer a couple of weeks back whilst talking to a group of friends, one of which has just bought a Porsche. Boys being boys, the discussion came around to shiny bodywork and one of our group suggested Mer polish. I understand that the benefit of Mer polish is that it lasts (for months apparently) which is perfect for me - a girl who isn't that hot on cleaning or polishing her car! Having not heard of Mer before I wasn't sure whether I ...

Review of Mer Car Polish

Professional Finish and Long-Lasting Protection

Advantages: Professional Finish, Removes Grease & Grime, Excellent Durability Against The Elements
Disadvantages: -

...three times the price of Mer but do they provide three times the shine? One of the major benefits of using Mer Ultimate Car Polish is its powerful cleaning properties; Mer Polish not only gets rid of dirt and grime but also leaves a hi-gloss finish that will offer durability for around 2 months. Mer Car Polish is such an effective cleaner, it can be aggressive if it gets onto bumpers and will in turn leave white marks - we are looking to highlight ...
...to significant, ongoing investment in research and development of the Mer brand – we are currently reviewing all formulations within our range to ensure that all of the products continue to offer a quality, long lasting and affordable finish. Correct retail pricing for Polish 500ml £9.99, 1 Litre £12.99 ...
