Where in canadian cities do you buy supplies?

Hi All,

Just wanted to solicit your experience since I'm as newb as can be.

I've been trying to find out all the places in the GTA (Toronto, Ontario) area for purchasing supplies in stores. (OTC)

Obviously there is Canadian Tire, PartSource, Napa, Costco and Walmart.

However I wanted to know if there are other places out there that I'm missing out on.

For example, I found that for Collinite products, there is The Dock Shoppe-162 Queens Quay East.

Also found JRP (Johnston Research and Performance) but have not gone there yet.

Also I found in Pacific Mall (Kennedy and Steels) some Japanese waxes and supplies. I can't read japanese
There are several types including some interesting Wax's applied using wet paper wipes.
Does anyone use them? I saw something called Raindance. (sorry no pictures)
What are your experiences with them? Have not seen many posts about waxes from Japan or other countries.

Any other stores out there?

Of course there are the online stores but the focus is one the stores you go to in-person.

Thanks for your time.

The only other option is The Barber Shoppe (or something like that) at Vaughan Mills. They sell a limited selection of overpriced Zaino products.

I have heard of a shop in Mississauga which has a more complete line of Megs products. Dura Chemicals? I'm not really sure as I've never been there.

Ah yes, I forgot about the Barbershop

Plus I forgot to mention about the Waxes and Polishes that you can buy at dealerships....I don't think they're going to be good but maybe someone out there has tried them.

Another find was a Car enthusiast store(forgot the name) in Square One that has Autoglym products. They were expensive though.

Also forgot to mention Zellers. I bought some cheap affordable wax there.

I get Collinite at the local Acura dealership, not sure though if all Acura dealers carry it.
