Detail Products Supplier

I have found a good supplier of detailing supplies for anyone in the Tidewater, Va area. Advanced Dealer Services in Virginia Beach carries every type of professional product and detail tool needed for the professional. 95% of their business is dealing directly with new/used car dealers, but they also deal with individual detailers and serious personal users. I bought all the supplies I will need to start serious detailing for customers and they didn't charge me for alot of the "extras" I needed like applicator pads, dispenser bottles, etc. The generally sell supplies in gallon sizes or larger since they are a professional supplier, but you can get the products cheaper this way and they will last you longer. They have a nice selection of products for every application. Their main product lines are ECP and Car Brite. Some good products and very friendly and helpful staff. Their phone number is 757-464-0095. Figured some of you might need a supplier since I see the question posted sometimes on where to get supplies. Give them a try if you are nearby. They may even ship....not sure. You would need to call them and ask.

You might want to take a look at some of the pictures in scottwax's gallery, then decide if he has made the wrong choice in using Meguiar's products.

I think it all depends on your personal tastes.

Some people like certain products and other people don't. I probably use products other people don't like using and I bet other people use products I would never want to use.

95% chemical choice is personal preference. There are a LOT of products on the market that do the same job.
