Really?
The write-up here doesn't say anything negative about it's use with DA's.
(I'm thinking that after I do the car 'properly' with Meguiars Ultimate Cut Compound, then these could be a good little touch up for every 2-3 months thereafter?
3 packs for €24 is fairly tempting, to be honest..
(ie; i hope to actually do correction with the stuff i have, but use this for a nice shine for future cleans)0 -

Do you just print it off and bring it in? Presumably one-use only (per customer/transaction?)0 -

i'm guessing you can't use it on a reserved order?!
Can't imagine why not? It is a "produce at till" voucher. (though admittedly, it'd be handier to have a code you could enter on their site). If they say it can't work on reserved orders, then just tell them you want to cancel your reservation and buy the same product off the shelf?
Except you won't have to go around the store, cos all the products you want happen to be in front of you at the till. Now that's convenient!
Also, if anyone questions it (fella at the till, or such) you can say you're a member of MAG - Irish Motorcyclists Action Group).
I got that from this thread on Biker.ie (came up in a Google).
EDIT: Another version of the voucher: http://www.financialgroupservices.com/vouchers/halfords_voucher_iwoman.php?website=iWoman
I'm sure the staff must be used to seeing them, and probably won't bat an eyelid.0 -

I reserved 3 of the Perfect Bodywork kits online.. but then thought "feck it", so I reserved another 3 (so 6 in total).
I got a phone call off Halfords this morning. Was dreading the "we don't have any in stock" call, but they actually just wanted to verify if I meant to order twice or was it a mistake and did I only really want the 3. I told them i wanted the 6.
While I was there I also picked up some other bits that looked like I might like them. AutoGlym Leather Cleaner and Care Balm took my interest (as I wasn't entirely pleased with the Meguiar's Leather Cleaner and Conditioner I bought a while back, so I figured two separate products might work better), and I seen the Meguiar's Quik Detailer too, and I thought why not (I always google the products while I'm in the store, and read amazon reviews before actually buying).
Whilst looking at the shelves, I began to worry my reservation wouldn't be there. All the bodywork kits were gone. Just an empty space where they once were (all the other Autoglym stuff was in stock, from what I could see).
When I got to the till, I asked about my reservation and the lad went off and got the six of them from the stock room. So I was delighted with myself. But because I reserved them separately (ie; two reservations of 3, instead of a single reservation of 6), he said he had to scan them through as separate purchases. I didn't care.
After he scanned the first 3, he went to scan the second 3 and also the other products I bought. This is when I pounced in with the above 10% discount voucher.
He looked a bit puzzled, and I began to doubt it'd work. I started mentioning my 'friend' who's in the motorbike group, but he didn't care. He was actually just unsure how to put the voucher into the till system. Another chap showed him and it was done and dusted. I asked him about using the same voucher again (well, another print of it, as he kept that one) and he said "there's no expiry on it, so yeah, it's fine".
I left with a big grin on my face. I think I'll be saving that voucher to my PC!
One of my friends got one of my Bodywork kits, but that still leaves me with 5, and the quik detailer and leather gear should keep me occupied for a little while.
I plan to machine polish the car with polish I already have (a more aggressive one; Meguiar's Ultimate Cut Compound) and then I'll use the Autoglym stuff for a 'touch up' hand polishing from then onwards, every 2-3 months.
Seems to be the way to go, all things considered. Either way, I'm a happy camper. Hat's off to whoever put up the offer in the first place (MAJJ?).

You did well there KKV, fair play. I got the link from Bargain alerts and another poster did it justice with more details. Irony is didn't buy/reserve any but may do tomorrow.
Yeah, I'm happy.
Though, checking the receipt there a second ago, it would appear my 10% discount only came off the stuff that I actually bought in the shop at the time.
They didn't take 10% off the Bodycare Kit that I reserved online. Bit odd. Though i'd rather reserve and not get the 10%, than take the risk hoping to find it in-store (when it's so popular).
Any reason why you didn't get some? Seems a steal. If I were among the first to notice it I think I'd be making sure i had whatever I wanted reserved before opening my mouth online...
