I have q couple of Rupes machines, a Mini and a Duetto and a variety of Rupes pads. These have all been purchased from AG.

Yesterday I placed an order for more Rupes 4" pads. Then, I received an email informing me that AG is no longer shipping Rupes products to Canada (where I live).

What the heck!?

What changed and now where do I go for my Rupes supplies?
 
It sounds like Rupes gave someone in Canada exclusive marketing rights...if you contact Rupes I'm sure they will let you know where to get them...or someone else on here will know
 
Auto Obsessed or eShine Canada

All of those retailers are located in Canada.
 
Thanks for the responses. I'll try auto obsessed and eshine.

Hey Ronyx,

I'm also in Canada and I purchased my Rupes polisher from oldetownautospa. They usually have stock on Rupes lineup
 
That's great to know. Thanks for the responses everyone
 
I've been working with Auto Obsessed and have managed to order some pads through them. I want to purchase 500ml polishes and they only carry the 250ml. I've made a request to them that they start carrying this size.

It's frustrating because this is the second example of exclusivity of detailing products being given to a Canadian distributor. Chemical Guys being the second. The problem is that these distributors are not carrying the full product line, making it difficult to get what I want. This is the problem with territorial rights, it locks the consumer into a single supplier, eliminates consumer choice and creates an inefficient market.
