You may want to check out C.A.R. in Holyoke. I don't think that's too far from you. They carry a few product lines, but I've never been there personally. Also, 5959 Auto Designs is the local Poorboy's distributor. He may be able to sell to you direct or point you to a store that carries PBs products. As far as Optimum, I would contact them directly to see if they could give you info as to who is their local distributor.

Honestly though, IMO it's less hassle and often less money to order products on-line. It is nice to find a place where you can quickly pick something up if you're in a rush though. Unfortunately, with our long winters in New England these are not really profitable businesses. So, few exist here.

3M products are widely available. I'd check out a few local body shop supply stores. I've made some excellent finds at places like that. Also, Carquest should be able to order many 3M products.

I've always been curious about C.A.R., but never went because it's a bit of a hike for me.

So, you were able to get Menzerna locally for a while? That place definitely doesn't carry it anymore?

You guys are awesome! Thank you for all the info. I love this site. I really want to add to collection but I figure I might as well learn from the experience of fellow autpians and spend my money on good, quality products.

Check out DecoCarCare.com

Very FRIENDLY customer service, great prices, and quick shipping.

I didn't have much luck with http://www.5959autodesign.com/. Good prices and everything, but the customer service wasn't anything to special.

Also C.A.R is a good supplier, but there rather expensive, your better off ordering online.

Does Deco have an actual store or is it just a web-store?

I've never actually used 5959 myself, but Steve from Poorboy's told me once that they are the region's distributor.
