Actually, the mail order is pretty quick and painless, like any other mail order stuff. If you don`t want to mail order anything, you`re stuck with parts of the Meguiar`s line and maybe some 3 M stuff, and Mother`s. That`s it.



Forget about most PC pads, Zaino, Klasse, Platinum, Poorboys, Pinnacle, etc. etc. Really limits what you can do.



Oh yeah, if you want a polymer, you can try Meguiar`s #20 :up , or NuFinish, or Liquid Luster, I guess. :rolleyes:

I have found all the vendors I have used (JT International, premium autocare, Pakshak, Neat Items, Guru Reports) to have to appreciable difference to Canadian mail order. The only difference is the exchange and duty...in other words $$. Packaging was great. Took on average 3 or 4 more days than Cdn sources. But unless you are ordering lots of products, the shipping and duty was killer. :(

I`ve heard that www.tacscar.com will ship to Canada. You should give them a shot. I know that www.premiumautocare.com will ship there from time to time too. You could always just call an online distributor of Klasse and ask them. I`m sure someone would do it.

Premiumautocare and Klasse Direct both do.



I got my order from premiumautocare. Fast service and good packaging. I got no response from TACSCAR.



For that matter, Davidb of Autopia fame also ships to Canada, and so does Autogeek. Both of these guys are Autopia sponsors.:up

2wheelsx2,



I`m surprised you got no response from TACSCAR. Tim (when I bought from him) was great to deal with. That`s where I purchased my klasse from. I`d recco him to anyone.



CMA aslo ships to Canada. I think they only use UPS to ship though, which is much more expensive than USPS.

I got my boat load of Klasse from Tim at tacscar. He said he could ship to Canada but I was going to haul it up there myself so he just had it sent to me instead. I know for awhile a few people I sent to him were having a hard time. They ended up going through PAC. Too bad too because Tim is an awesome guy who really did well by me. Still, I think all you have to do is call a vendor and ask them and they can probably quote you a price.

As said, shipping to Canada isn`t that hard anymore. I don`t know about other websites (check them out), but the Autopia store was set up to deal with international shipping and I got my order in 1 week. Not bad I think. Places like CMA will also ship up here but you have to call them....



Up here I think you`re limited to Zaino, #20, Liquid Glass (dist. in Ont. somewhere), and not really a whole lot else as far as polymers go.... Auto Magic sells a few Pro type polymers too, but I don`t think there`s a lot of feedback or info on those.



I`d just mail order Klasse from the US and just pay the duty (basically the prov. & federal tax rates supposedly). Biggest thing is to avoid UPS or FedEx if at all possible. They`ll charge you an arm and a leg at the door. :down USPS all the way. :up

At least here in Vancouver, we can get Autoglym twins which is basically the same functionally as Klasse. Don`t know about Ontario though. Must be the British in British Columbia, heheh.

Thanks, Ice. I forgot about Autoglym. Yeah, they are pretty easily accessible.



Jngrbrdman, I wasn`t indicating that TASCAR sucked or anything, just that I didn`t get a response, and had to go elsewhere.
