Each year when my SCCA membership renews I get an envelope in the mail with my new ID badge and a pile of little discount coupons/membership discount adds for a bunch of sponsors. This year one of the coupons was for Malco Automotive detailing products.

I know I'm not the best versed in the vendor landscape of the industry, but thought I knew quite a few of them at least by name. Malco popped up as a surprise. Looking them up the appear to be a Griots-like company from the standpoint of being family owned/operated and they claim to make all their own stuff from a facility in Ohio. What I found interesting is they also claim to have been around for 70 years. Not quite the legacy of Collinite, but still a pretty long time.

Anyone heard of them or used their stuff. They seem to have a pretty standard line of soaps, waterless washes, spray sealants, coatings, waxes, and polishing products. I'm not looking to buy their stuff or advertise for them, just curious if they are a known company to our happy little community.
 
Malco was always a bulk product supplier, for dealers, body shops, volume detail shops, etc. "We" here in the snooty boutique world turned up our noses at them.

Agree. I've used a few of their products ages ago, one I seem to recall was a cherry wax. Nothing I can remember was any better than regular mid line consumer stuff.
 
Mostly just all over Amazon for forever. I was once recommended one of their products as a sleeper hit. I'm trying to find out what that was (clearly never acted on it)

Looks like what I expect to see in O'Reilly's (i.e. basically Superior)

I think that was one thing which stood out when I browsed their site. Most of the products were the same old stuff you see most companies offer, but they still sell two different kinds of paste carnauba waxes (Cherry being one of them) which many companies don't offer any more.
 
Malco Accelerate polish is the product I was told about. Apparently this person uses it like a spray polish. Detailer up in the depths of north Canada.

He also once suggested using 3D One and Speed together with Urofiber pads for a great 1-step.

Disclaimer: I haven't tried either of these. Kind of forgot about both honestly until now.
