    Aside from ordering online from the States, where do you guys order your stuff from? I`ve been to Canadian Tire and Autosource and both pretty much suck if you want good bonnets, a wide range of supplies, good brushes, or really anything of any quality aside from a few luckily stocked Megs products.



    I`m getting a little sick of paying duty and really high shipping costs. Anyone have any ideas?

    Automotive Paint Supply places are really your only bet, and then you`re limited to only Meguiars/3M and Farcela.



    However, Meguiars products are top notch so at the very least, you can get high quality polish in Canada no problem.



    There are 3 or 4 reputable online Canadian vendor`s as well.



    In Toronto, Zaino can be had at The Barber`s Chair. Klasse is quickly being found as well.

    I`m in Toronto, so any good local store recomendations are appreciated. It isn`t the polish and wax so much that I`m worried about (although I haven`t been able to find Meg`s DACP), but the lack of PC bonnets and good buffing towels. Any ideas for those?



    Er, nm. I just followed the link to eShine. Looks like I found what I was looking for. Thanks!

    Buffing towels I`ve always purchased online and I`d highly recommend doing the same.



    As for pads, if you are willing to drive out to Mississauga or Brampton - you can get 3M or Meguiars pads at Cmax.

    OK here`s one for you. When I moved here from California I brought some Optimum polish with me, but am running low. I`ve looked but can`t find any locally or online (in Canada), ideas?
