Mer Old and new

I tried the original Mer (in the light blue bottle /silver cap) years ago ...I had a sports car at the time and I found this cream polish very good I used to put it on the side windows as well as the paint work.......I found it very easy to use and was impressed with the results!!The down side was trying to get hold of it from a supplier that didn't want a weeks wage for 500ml!!!!! So I have trued quite a few other brands......Now I when I saw this 'NEW' Mer I was tempted especially for 1 litre at the price I paid....I thought I would try it.! The new (black bottle new formulae product ) ....I found all the same positives easy... to apply.....easy to buff (DONT LET IT DRY FOR LONG BEFORE BUFFING!!).....even if the car is slightly wet in places just apply and wait for it to haze!! and buff brilliant. I have polished the car three times (as it says the more you polish the better the result!) and it has been through 4 or rain stores over the last week and it looks really good STILL....beading still apparent........A bit of a mare if you get on black rubber or black plastic???? But it does warn you!! it takes a lot of buffing to remove.
All in all a good product easy to apply and buff up.......as long as the price remains sensible I will remain with this as I did with the original product, as it seems to have all the same advantages!!!!
It is defiantly up there with my favourite 3 polishes.............and it isn't the most expensive at present!!!!
Its a thumbs up from me!!!! CW

Rubbish polish

As a chauffeur for more than 30 years, I have used Mer on a number of occasions and found it brilliant. I bought this on previous experience but found it utter crap! I ended up having to use Tcut to clean the panels but it still left streaks so I binned this product and used another. What they have done to this polish I don't know but the original was so easy to use I do not understand why they have changed it. Do yourself a favour and buy an alternative product.Read full review

A little goes a long way

The polish gives a good shine and is easy to apply. However avoid applying it too liberally as otherwise it needs more effort to polished off any thicker streaks of MER. My old bottle of MER did say to apply with a slightly damp cloth, which may help to spread the polish more thinly, I will try doing this in future.
My old bottle also said to add a couple of caps full to plain water when washing the car to help maintain the shine, however I avoid getting it on the plastic trim and glass, I also rinse the car afterwards. I have always found this to be effective, but if you follow this suggestion it is at your own risk as the new bottle does not give this advice.

Tried and tested.

Used it for years. Two capfuls in a bucket of water to wash over after you have got the dirt off. Leather off for a great finish. You can use it as polish as well. Handed a company car back after five years and the transport manager was amazed at the finish, especially after I said i had never polished it, only ever washed it with a cap full of Mer in the water.Read full review

Probably the best paint protection polish in the world

Great product have been using it on many different colour cars for over 30 years, amazing results every time, when I have finished using it I have I've had people ask me if the car has just been re-sprayed it looks that good, I have never come across anything that gives the same deep shine and protects paint to the same level as Mer, I would say it's probably the best paint protection polish in the worldRead full review

Polish for multiple paints

I have used MER for over twenty years having discovered it at a show. I owned a black capri at the time and struggled with water marks. This polish used correctly cured all of that. Great for all paint types from veteran vehicles to the current day.Read full review

Polishing is easy

I have used Mer polish for a good number of years both on my caravan and car. I find it easy
to apply on most surfaces and quite easy to polish off even on dull days.

A very good polish which has been around for many years.

Easy to apply, easy to remove, lifts ingrained dirt that has built up on paintwork. Once polished off it leaves a glass like finish which lets water bead off rather than sitting on the surface.

Elbow grease

My 9 year old motorhome had a few dull patches, and when the sun (rarely) caught it at some angles it showed them up. I used this polish in a vain attempt to bring the paintwork back to life. WELL IT WORKED.
Despite a lot of elbow grease, as the vehicle is a bit large to to tackle, I was amazed at how the paintwork was brought back to life. I finished it off with MER wax as recommended. A very satisfied customer.
