Who makes what?

[nan_wpg]

I’ve read there’s “blenders” that make stuff and yet loads of companies say they make their own stuff.

is there a list somewhere? Rupes is in house. Optimum too. 3D is another.

Oh boy...back in the day this was an invitation to a ban. You left Meguiar`s off the list.

Gyeon, Carpro, Megs, Optimum, 3D, Griot`s, possibly Lithium, ECP (Technician`s Choice), Sonax are the ones I`m aware of that have their own lab and chemists.

lab and chemist is part of it. I’m talking from idea to shelf. Everything in house? Or is that not a thing? Kinda like “assembled in USA” is,not 100%us made.

I`ll put my hat in the ring for a sleeper brand. Still like and use alot of 1Z Einsett Nextzett .Heavy rotations for me

Wouldn`t Polish Angel be all in house???
Maybe Xtreme Solutions as well???

Because the conversation would invariably lead to the house brands.

what does that mean exactly?

I thought this was a detailing forum? The rules state open forum, all brand discussion allowed.

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

It means the above, people start speculating about who makes what, and invariably the speculation goes to the house brands.

So what’s a house brand? And who are they? Just so we don’t talk about them

The Palm Beach Motoring Group brands - Blackfire, DP, Pinnacle, Wolfgang, etc.

I too have heard Xtreme Solutions is B&B Blending. So is Adam`s Polishes (same owners as B&. I suspect Jax Wax is B&B since their offerings seem very similar to Adam`s. I read somewhere that B&B makes 400 different branded products. Griot`s blends their stuff in Indiana- I have been to thier open house.

I just made a post on the other forum half jokingly hinting that the Blackfire Rinseless Wash is actually Optimum Non Rinse, re-labelled, since it smells and looks exactly the same:
