Detailing supplies in NYC?

nagge · 12-27-07, 08:01

I'm visiting NYC in January and with the dollar so cheap I was thinking about getting some detailing supplies. So are there any good stores in NYC (I will be living on park ave/64th)? The only ones I can think of is Autozone but there has got to be something else.

I already have some items sent to my cousin that I will be staying with, but I just dont feel right using her apartment as a storage facility. Besides I look forward to just walk around an american auto store and see what they offer

So far I have Autozone and Strauss Auto, more ideas are always welcome!

Which supplies are you looking for?

NYC isn't a good place to get them at all.

Pretty much anything to be honest

I do realise the city isnt the best place for detailing supplies but I hope I will find something good, perhaps something not available here in Sweden.

NYC is known as a city of people who don't drive, much less don't own cars! Stores in NJ are not far such as in Jersey City, Hoboken, Secaucus, etc. and are very close to mid town Manhattan.

Oh, so how about stores in those areas? Anything worth visiting?

exactly what I was thinking. S&H from jersey to nyc would be relatively cheap depending on the size of the order.

Mail order / internet, the only way to save money. Because there is nothing really around here

nagge what exactly specifically are you looking for? i'm here in NYC, i might know where to get a couple of stuff

Been there already, but thanks anyway

All I got locally were some Meguiars Interior Quick Detailing spray, had already ordered the rest from pakshak, so I was good to go.
