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!

If you're driving from Orlando to Naples you could make a detour over to Stuart, FL. Autogeek.net is located there and they have a HUGE selection of products.
Plus, SuperiorCarCare.com has several locations in FL I believe and I also think ProperAutoCare.com is located in Tampa, FL.

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.

Question, will customs allow you to take this questionable liquids onto an airplane?
I mean, clay looks like C-4!!!

Security thinks a three year old holding an 8oz bottle of water is a terrorist, so yes I'd say you'll probably have trouble carrying those items by hand. Maybe if you can wrap it up well you can put it in baggage you will check in.

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.

Don't bring clay, BTW. It's got roughly the same density and outward appearance as plastic explosive and they go loopy over it.

Of course, I'm just waiting for the day when they ban people from flights. I mean, people are the problem right, with these "terorrists"? It'd solve everything...

Can't you get detail products sent to you back home? Shipping can't be that much and you'll most likely not have to pay sales tax.
