What about P&S? they blend their own stuff?

[craigdt]

possibly Lithium

Have literally never heard of them before, then yesterday saw something about them for the first time.
Weird. Have to give them a look

Not sure about PA. Xtreme is made by B&B I think.

You are correct...It`s basically Slipstream with color.

I don`t think there`s anything in there that we haven`t known for 15 years here. There was a huge blowup here when DavidB...instigated?...members finding a website which seemed to have the same products as a forum-darling brand, except with different names and in bulk quantities at vastly lower prices. This required the forum darling to explain how their products weren`t really the same as those products that seemed to be the same, etc. etc.

Don`t ask me the brands because I`m not getting dragged into this.

I will add as my answer to Scott`s question in the video as to why companies like Meguiar`s and Optimum don`t have videos of their manufacturing facilities, it`s not because they don`t have them, it`s because there`s nothing really to see. It`s not going to be sexy and high-tech, just carboys of chemicals and mixers, etc. I think they don`t show this stuff because it bursts the bubble of the magic-in-a-bottle; people don`t really want to see how the sausage is made, in this case it would be disappointing because it would be too pedestrian-looking.

Right. Optimum does not use B&B nor does Meguiar`s.

Here`s a tour of a detailing product mfr., the channel owner even complains how it was grungy and not what he expected, corroborating my assertion that nobody publicizes this stuff because it`s not what the customers want to see, better to let them imagine the people in the lab coats.
