    What Do Those of You Who Work in High-Volume Detail Shops/Dept Use for Car-Care Chemicals?

    This is a question to those of my fellow Autopian professional detailers who work in high-volume detail department or shops, like used car lots or car dealership:
    What specific car-care chemical manufacturers/suppliers do you use in your detailing? My reason for asking one more of curiosity, BUT since you use them, I would assume that they need to be cost-effective; IE, they need to perform their specific detailing/cleaning task effectively, and yet be affordable because you are using a larger quantity of that product, more so than "lower-volume" detailers.
    I know that there are a plethora of car-care manufacturer out there who cater to volume detail shops and dealer detailing departments. Like:
    1) Meguair`s Professional Detailer Line
    2) McKee`s 37
    3) HD
    4) P & S
    5) 3M Body Shop
    6) Hi-Temp/ Akrya
    7) Poorboy`s World
    8) ValuGard
    9) Chemical Guy`s
    10) Finish Kare (used to be, anyway)
    11) Auto Magic (the makers of Clay Magic Bars)
    12) Duragloss
    13) Simonize
    14) Mother`s Professional Line
    15) Adams
    16) Lane`s

    I would like to know what you manufacturer(s) you use and what like about a specific product (s) in your detailing.

    When I worked high volume (90`s into early 2000`s) we mainly used Car Brite and Auto Magic. We had some 3M stuff for polishing too, but that was mostly for retail jobs.

    Back in the dealership days Car Brite was great. Also used Granitize with decent results.

    One of my favorites was up here in Mass we had a company called Allied Technologies. They had a brand called Auto tech. Good stuff. They also distributed Trans-Mate. Trans mate was killer!!!!

    I dont think most of those brands fit what I would consider High volume. I would think of high volume to be more than a 5gal jug purchase at a time. More like a 55 gal drum so that eliminates about 7/8ths of those.
