Then why are you applying a coating three times within three years? Or are you using inferior products? Or have I taken that out of context like you did with quoting my post?

This is the whole post, not some snippet to make me out as something I'm not.................................I have nothing to hide.

In the effort to not name an Autogeek competitor company, which isn't really a competitor because they operate in a different country, I made it sound like I was the ADS distributor. Apologies for that mistake.

Funny you say that, over the last 18-months I've been writing articles for an Australian detailing supplier, helping flesh out the blog/buyers guide section of their webstore. It's actually been a huge confidence boost for me personally, while being able to have a (very small) part in the industry and being privy to some insider info, for example I knew the ADS brand was coming months before it went on sale, same for Labocosmetica.

It's a very different style of writing, instead of my usual longform style here, I need to be mindful of being concise and integrating product links. It's all about hitting keywords to maximize search results and speaking to a much wider customer base. Put it this way, I need to refrain from using typical detailing lexicon, instead being more general so as to not alienate the novice.

In terms of being paid for this service, I was given a couple of options, including free product. Personally, I chose to be paid per article, I think that is the best way to remain somewhat independent and impartial. I then have control over what I review or write about, meaning I'm not writing about products I don't believe in. For example, being the Australian distributor for ADS, I've written extensively about the brand because I like and believe in the products, of which I bought every one of them with my own money.

At one point, I was sent the entire Bilt Hamber product lineup with the intent of doing a range review. Some of those products I would have naturally bought, some of them I would have chosen another brand instead. But because it was all free, naturally there is pressure to perform favorably for the brand and company I'm working for. I didn't like that. So instead, I focused on delivering an article that properly explained what each product does and is used for, because I don't know about others, but I find the Bilt Hamber product descriptions to be very ambiguous. So, my article provided value by making the products more approachable.

Actually, that post was in response to a post of yours. Nice fishing tactic there mate.
 
Anyone notice that Flash gets real defensive if someone pops of to hobbit? But not anyone else here?

Then he goes out of his way to say he/she like he doesn’t know him?

Him popping of about hobbit is reason I blocked him.

I'm not on X, so there wouldn't be anything I could look at, even if I wanted to. I've heard from others that X is basically a cesspool now.

That reminds me of the Briggs & Stratton powered mowers I've bought over the last decade......................................



I just wonder how much of it is US parts, I suspect the castings are all done in China and sent to Briggs for assembly.

A few years ago, I bought a new mower with the Honda GXV 160. That engine option commanded a significant $410 price premium over the other engines offered, which were basically cheap and nasty Chinese made Honda knockoff's. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered the sticker on the back of the engine.





So, I paid for Japanese build quality but got made in China instead. To be fair, that engine was brilliant for build quality, smoothness and fuel efficiency. Whenever I needed to work on it, everything came off and went back on with precision, whereas a Briggs would have a LOT of tolerance.

Anyway, off topic.

I wish american companies would be a little more transparent about what they use that is global parts. China can make really good quality parts when they need to.

Growing up in the 90's, my dad had a 1990 Toyota SR5 pickup he bought new.. He never had to work on it except ffor oil changes and regular maintenance.. he kept it until 2018 and sold it because it became so rusted that the wheel hubs were locking up. I remember my dad telling me if I wanted an atv that'll last, buy a Honda. If I want a vehicle that'll last, buy a Toyota. Japan has always had superb quality. Same with German hand tools.

I beg your pardon? Do you speak to people like this in person, or just from behind the safety of a screen and a keyboard?

Tell me, what have you contributed to this forum other than be a rude piece of work? Pull your head in.

And no, I make no money from ADS.

Yeah i get too emotional with this stuff. I need to get a life.

You have a lot of knowledge and experience. Much more than me.

In my defense, i'm just tired of what i see has a very shady market. Detailing products.
 
When a company outsources the manufacturing, the quality control depends on the desires of the outsouring company. Some are more hands off than others. Companies like Toyota send their manufacturing teams to suppliers to ensure the supplier builds it to their liking. At my former employer we did the same thing and I visited manufacturing plants in China, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, and Indonesia. I never made it to Malaysia.

Most companies announce to the facilities when they'll be making a show up so if they're doing poor quality, they up it until after the big wigs leave and then go back to business as usual.
