Flitz polishing paste suppliers

[Buckshot]

Anyone know where I can get some Flitz - preferably the 150g tube from?

I've contacted Adams Direct but they're having problems with the supplier in the States so arn't expecting any in soon?

Thanks

Mark

What do you want the Flitz for? Polishing or stropping? Axminster has a number of compounds for use on strops, also compounds for polishing. Not Flitz though

The main European distributor is in Germany

FlitzEurope.de (www.flitzeurope.de)

But it is a trade only site ( you need a login/pass to order) and prices are trade ( i.e. nice an low :cry:).

You might try emailing them for a list of retailers. I think it is an American guy running it (Neil L. Shun?). Contact details are:

Flitz, Sport und Freizeit Artikel

Hans Holbein Str. 3B
DE - 69190 Walldorf
Telefon: 062271080
Telefax: 0622763422

E-Mail : Flitzeurope@aol.com

Or you could order it direct from the USA.

Flitz (http://www.flitz.com)

Metal Polish Paste 150gr/5.29oz tube
Sub Total:
$19.99

Shipping (UK):
$12.00

Total:
$31.99/ £17.78

allow for VAT payable into UK (if the customs check that is)

$31.99 + 17.5% UK VAT (I don't think there is any duty on this type of product but you can check at customs and excise we site. It is not much if it is payable)

= $37.59/ £20.90 depending on duty?

Just some options.

I may be wrong but I think Solvol Autosol is very similar, you can get that from places like Halfords.

I eventually found another online supplier in Germany who had the 150gr size in stock on offer at €25/ £17.25. Unfortunately I asked about postage to the UK and they had a price of 18 euro just to ship from Germany to Uk :cry: . They said if I ordered over €120 in goods they would ship free but that much Flitz would last 500 years, or finding another product :?:

if you want details let me know.

Globetrotter.de which is the biggest outdoor store in Germany (some great products and prices BTW of stuff hard to get here) have the 50gm size for €12.95/£8.90 plus €9 euro P&P. But they have a minimum order to EU countries of €52 :cry:

I can find no online stockists in France.

Thanks all,

Moonraker, I've emailed Germany. I'll let you know the answer.

I would get it from the States but my credit card isn't accepted over there for some reason - I've tried it before. :?:

I want it to put on a strop, I know I could contact Axminster but I was looking for Flitz in particular.

Cheers

Hi Mark

Just looking for some Flitz polish this afternoon and came across this forum and your post from a while ago. Don't know if you are still looking for Flitz polish but I have found a website that sell it in the UK.

http://www.transtools.co.uk/store/cat_1773/_by-brand/flitz.html

I have just ordered the 150g box Flitz-BU03515-F.

Hope this helps.

Regards Pete
