After yet another glitch in the car's WoF process, dur to yet another change in the regs by the LTSA (or whatever they call themselves these days, they change their name almost as often as they change the rules!), I had to go and buy the following items:

wire brush
• rust-killer
• underseal

So, on the advise of the man-in-the-know at Central City WoF I headed off to Super Cheap. As I walked in the door, I was greeted by a charming young lady, and when I enquired about the products she cheerfully pointed me in the right direction, and also asked if I wanted her to accompany me, or if I was OK browsing. "I'm fine thanks" and off I went. I also noticed a couple of items I figured would be needed for other little fix-it jobs on the car. After all, if I am underneath the car, might as well do them all.

While wandering the shop, I was struck by the huge range, well presented making it a lot easier to locate the right products, since they were grouped by function and purpose. All panel and bodywork products are in the same shelving, all electrical goods, etc. Very easy to sort out what you need, and where to find it.

I gathered up my shopping, presented myself to the lovely lady at the counter again, and paid for the goods. In addition to the goods above, I also purchased some cans of engine degreaser and some high-adhesive fabric tape, and still walked out with change from a $20 note. This was great value for money!

All of the goods carried clear instructions, and when combined with the hints from the staff member at the WoF agency, I was able to fix the problems and get the WoF issued within a few hours. Brilliant stuff!

Overall, I think I have found a new automotive parts supplier. :)
