3M Ultrafina

@Autogeek - How come you don't carry 3M's Ultrafina or the Ultrafina blue pad? You offer a variety of their products, but not these items. Are these items something that you can get in stock or is there some sort of distribution channel conflict?

Re: 3M Ultrafina

My guess is it isn't as simple as just start selling 3M on Autogeek. I would guess there are numerous terms that need to be negotiated and agreed upon ie. price Autogeek would buy the products for (as large as Autogeek is, I bet they can negotiate a better price than other web sellers and local retailers but not as good a deal as the large chain stores), guaranteed quanties sold, payment terms, etc. etc. etc.. A company the size of 3M is probably more difficult to negoiate with than say Duragloss, Optimum or Poorboys.

This is also why I assumed Autogeek does not sell Chemical Guys, just couldn't work out the terms.

Re: 3M Ultrafina

I wonder why someone from AG hasn't commented on this yet?
