CAR CARE ADVICE – WITH A PORSCHE PEDIGREE

Who do those ‘in the know’ talk to about caring for their Porsches?

When calling a company that seems to offer the products you want, there’s nothing better than to hear a friendly, knowledgeable answer – and it turns out they own Porsches too!

Many readers will have seen Morethanpolish and Race Glaze at the major Porsche shows over the years, and their owner, Mark Wibberley, is known to many in Porsche circles. After all, he’s been advising owners on car care and safe storage solutions for almost 20 years.

In that time Mark has owned a 964 Carrera 4, and for the last 17 years, his treasured late 944 Turbo. An early 986 Boxster was added three years ago. So the company has knowledge, borne of personal experience, to know what suits your own cars.

Race Glaze is perhaps best known for its water filters, which allow you to rinse your car off and walk away, without drying, and with no dreaded water spots appearing. Its full range of products includes waxes, ceramic and nano coatings, cleaners and protectants for every automotive surface imaginable.

Morethanpolish is the UK’S Zymol distributor (hot off the press!) and through its own site and carcovershop.co.uk, it offers a full range of custom-made and off-the-shelf car covers, dehumidifiers, CTEK battery conditioners and more. They are also agents for Airchambers. Carcovershop’s motto, ‘Protect and Preserve’, may be familiar to watchers of LAPD (OK, the ‘pre’ was added!), but they also supply the reveal covers for many dealerships and Top Gear’s new ‘Reasonably Priced Car’.

The company stocks major brands, as well as others not easily found: Valentines from Northern Ireland for example, or O’rourke’s

interior care range – Rob O’rourke is a top trimmer and personal friend. MTP are their only other outlet. The company is also UK distributor of the Kenotek brand from Belgium, good quality and value valeting products with TUV Approval, and worldwide for Hindsight Plastic Rear Screen Restorer.

Not one for blowing his own trumpet, let’s hear what others have had to say about the company, advice and products they have received.

I’ve known Mark for many years, and have always been impressed by his company and his products. My car sales business uses a lot of cleaning products, and Mark has often advised us on what’s best to use. He also runs a nationwide Porsche inspection service, which I have helped with. Most importantly, he drives a very nice Porsche 944 Turbo and a Boxster, so he’s certainly got good taste in cars (and he keeps them spotlessly clean!). Philip Raby, Owner, Philip Raby Porsche

Having purchased products from Mark for at least 15 years now, I can confirm he’s a wealth of knowledge and experience. I’ve always found him to be prompt, helpful and genuine. I also recommend his business to my clients when they need a trustworthy product supplier. Richard Tipper, Perfection Detailing

When I am asked about future-proofing vehicles, I have no hesitation in recommending Morethanpolish products and the advice provided by Mark and his team. The feedback I have received from my clients has always been positive as the products are of superior quality. Albert Walsh MIMI, Motorsport Chairman, Porsche Club GB
