Join Date: Feb 2006 Posts: 22 | Detailing Supplies in Orlando Fl or Naples FL? Im over in the USA on vacaton and figured i'd stock up on detailing supplies whilst here, only problem is i can't find anywhere!!! checked out Wall Mart but they only seem to have a couple of Megs items, and when i google there doesn't seem to be anything obvious.
If you know of any in or near Orlando or Naples please post the addresses, I have GPS navigation with me so souldn't be a problem finding them.
Im after Poorboys / Megs / Sonus / Concours / PC Pads etc so if you know anywhere please post!
Thanks in advance guys! | |

Plus, SuperiorCarCare.com has several locations in FL I believe and I also think ProperAutoCare.com is located in Tampa, FL. | |

RET | I think if you can visit both ProperAutoCare and Autogeek while your in FL then you'll be a VERY happy guy. I believe Superior Car Care gets their inventory from Autogeek so they have most of the same things Autogeek does. However, I thought the multiple locations of Superior might make it more convenient. | |

Well, thats what happens when a MAJOR terrorist plot is uncovered. We just have to deal with it. They took my Mp3 player for further checking.
It was fedexed to me not too long ago. I had some heated words with the supervisor.
I say, bring reciepts and brochures of the products to show them that it is auto detailing supplies.
