Dwayne,

I would like to see the 6 1/2" DA pads....cutting and polishing mostly. These are what I have been using with great results. They hold up pretty well....

Also, a few of the VC pads (6 1/2") would be nice to try as well, in the same agressiveness (polishing and cutting).

Thanks!
Brian

Dwayne,

For Lake Country Pads, I would also like to see the VC pads in all levels.

The Tufted Foam pads (cutting and polishing) are excellent. I use the yellow cutting pad instead of wool. A great pad.

Thanks for listening to us!

7.5 inch Lake Country VC pads. Nice to keep one size pad for the PC D.A. and rotary!

Anything Anthony uses.

You can`t be all things to all people.
All these products sound great, but you still have to be able to sell enough of each of them to make it worthwhile to have them in stock. Any of these items that don`t move are just costing you money to keep in inventory.
No doubt you have a handle on this, but I would sure hate to have you get overextended and have to pull a K-Mart on us.

Well, it wont hurt if he decides to sell `DAWN` there

I can`t buy it locally

**AutopiaAdmin** · 05-15-2003, 05:45 PM

I hear ya Charles.

We are in a nice position with vendors where we can introduce a product line with very low or no minimums and stock items accordingly to what moves. If I have a slow mover I am able to send back for credit or sell at cost to get it out the door.

In addition to our website we have our retail store plus our truck delivering to dealerships so these items get adequate exposure.

While we don`t want to get too big we do want to make sure that we have an adequate product offering to be worthy of calling ourselves "Premium" AutoCare.com

From information gathered in this thread and also taking into consideration our local demand, here are some items to add that will get the highest priority from me....... also need to add that we have ALOT of products locally that I just havent added to the website yet like high speed buffers and pads and SEM dyes to name a few.

1. Makita, Dewalt and Porter Cable Buffers

2. The Edge Foam Pads

3. Lake Country VC and tufted pads.

4. Genuine Sheepswool Wash Mitts from S.M. Arnold and other assorted applicators and brushes

5. Wurth, if I can locate a local rep

6. Stoner Products

7. Maybe Einszett..... although I have some great reviews I think I am missing something...... I experimented with "Glanz Wax" and it was like waxing a car with Naptha...... very thin and watery, strong naptha smell and fast solvent evaporation..... still need to look at the other products

We have recently added OXO brushes and Luster Lace products.
Poorboys is coming soon.

Also have a few lines we are looking at and in talks with various manufacturers. When I look at vendor websites and catalogs it is just like Christmas for me!

You know the special feeling when UPS brings your car care supplies??? I get that every day with some HUGE boxes and our UPS delivery guys gets his daily workout at our place.

So, why do you need Dawn? Do you have some dirty dishes?

In case you haven`t guessed, I`m not a fan of "Dawn washes". If you need to remove wax, there are products better suited for that purpose. Just my opinion.

**jgv** · 05-15-2003, 06:01 PM

Yeah, right, thanks!

About the Einzsett, you should know better about that pure synthetic wax. Anyway, their plastic and rubber care products are a must have. I`d advice you the following products from them:

- Raindace Shampoo
- Cockpit Premium - great cleaner, neutral finish
- Vinyl/Rubber treatment - very similar to 303, smells better
- Rubber Protection (gummy pfeldger)

These ones are superior quality. About the polishes, I have them all, as-well as almost every other. I used them time to time, as I do with the wax.

Charles, as usually you`re right. I never could understand why people uses dish detergent on cars. I was joking on that `Dawn` one.

This should last us awhile!!!! Its HUGH!!! 101 Oz`s

**Koop** · 05-16-2003, 01:05 PM

Dwayne, What are you trying to get from wurth? All i use my rep for at our shop is hardware. Also I`m sure you`ve done enough searching already for your rep. Next time i see mine i`ll ask if he has the down low on what`s going on in sarasota if you`ld like.

Thanks Koop,

I was able to get a number for my local rep. I called his cell phone and he was in my showroom in 5 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn`t realize just how many products that Wurth offers.

He was able to get me started with some very low minimums to start and was very helpful and informative.
