What are you using?

I like reflect for my favorite finishing polish right now- have yet to notice even a hint of haze. They are pricey though as you have said.
I really like their glass pro towel for glass

Big fan of Carpro Reflect, so easy to work with.

So if you change from using their coatings your dumping the rest of their line ?

Yeah..

It's because it wouldn't get used. All our cars are treated with an Optimum protective product. When I service a vehicle it is typically done with Optimum.

The only product I don't regularly use from Oprimum are the compounds. I use 3D or Meguiar's most times.

If I continue using CarPro coatings I'd like to have their paint care products on hand. I have liked what I've used from them so far. I'm just not a fan of glass bottle coatings. Their application and removal are a pain in the rear for me. Even the reported easy to use coatings are still a flop for me. There are two high spots on my gf's Jeep from Gloss Coat!

It's the performance of those CarPro coatings that is alluring. They do so well in real world conditions.

I am no fan of the koch kemmie-- tried their super cut abrasive ( dont remember what its called ), didnt cut worth a darn-- ended up tossing it in the trash. But if its a popular seller-- go for it

I didn't get the hype for their polishes. They reminded me of Menzerna with a greasier wipe off.

I also didn't find their compound to offer any more cut than what I was already using.

But a ton of people like them. I already had Menzerna and the also similar Jescar. I didn't need more of the similar.

I think also AG could review the shipping $. Prior to buyout shipping was WAY more reasonable, many times a year free shipping-- not anymore.
Its a very big incentive.

We run free shipping almost every day, last week we had one day that we did not offer it.
I just looked and this coming week is about the same, just FYI.

Firstly, I would like to say that I mention a lot of brands on this forum, some of which are not offered here. I hope that is not frowned upon, I'm genuine when I say that I'm not trying to sell product with my posts, I just like to talk about my passion for detailing products.

My most used brands include: Gyeon, Carpro, Koch Chemie, P&S and NV.

I would like to see Auto Geek bring Koch Chemie into the store, I think this is very much a brand that is hard to ignore these days.

We have talked to Koch Chemie, right now their supply is not strong enough in USA to service us. They hope to have that changed soon.

Agreed with bringing Polish Angel back but Esoteric may have exclusive rights.


Would love to see you guys get TacSystems. No US distributor anymore so you would have exclusive product.

As good of product as Gyeon and CarPros.

We had Polish Angel for a while, tried very hard to give it some love but it just didn't sell well.
We really like to keep the product rotating and when it sits too long we have to make a decision about the brand.
I will keep an eye on that brand though and if we see a lot more interested in it we will look at it again.

Look into Tac systems. Great product but no solid is vendor. Big globally. With Autogeek behind it I’m sure they would love to have you as a vendor and could maybe your version of CarPro.

Yes- but thats with a qualifer- not everyone is gonna spent around $100 a crack. We all know shipping is out of control on cost, but doing more $4.95 or there about flat rate shipping ( except maybe on gallon containers ) would be helpful
 
I believe the free shipping thresholds are pre-discount. So if it's free shipping over $95 and there's 20% off, you can spend $76 and get free shipping.

Autofiber is one brand I'd like to see available. Some expanded Griot's product offerings would help as well. Either products they sell directly or packaging things in a manner they don't (choose 6 of your own 1" pads like you do with the 5.5" pads, etc.)

I think Bilt Hamber could be exclusively distributed thru another company in the U.S. so that may not be an option.
