    It doesn’t matter what size samples CG sells because the private labels are selling in different markets.



    Each boutiques seller develops his own market and it’s not people who know or care who CG is.

    Well, that`s the marketing theory, and it may be accurate, but this discussion is really about what people here think, who are familiar with both markets. (At least that`s what I thought the OP was aiming at)

    Why sell candy when you can sell drugs. It`s really that easy.

    It doesn`t matter to me in the least what name is on it. It works or it doesn`t, it`s just that simple. In addition one can only speculate who is reselling another`s product. Unless you have inside information you are guessing at best.

    PC.


    The Internet is one giant equal access field. Most of us would never have heard of the resellers except via the Internet in forums like this. I know some sellers make it to car shows, etc. I have stumbled across at least 4 url`s for CG using google.

    Not to mention a huge presence in every auto parts store in the country!



    Meguiar`s can take a big fat dump on boutique lines.


    I`m referring the Megs Pro Line. Sure Megs has some of the local paint supply store market but on the internet Chemical Guys is trying to hit every market segment.

    I could care less if the product was labeled "stench of anus" if it works as described I am happy and will use it pretty simple equation.

    I am an end user, I do my research and then purchase...I let all the other guys on the other end worry about who the chemist is, who mfg`s it, if it`s re-labeled etc.

    This takes the cake folks. A self proclaimed "Motor City" not caring about who or where a product is made!



    You are first in line for the Chinese made Chevrolet Avalanche coming out in 2009.

    You think that Chemical Guys is hurting the Meg`s Pro line? I think you`re forgetting who CG`s parent is...it`s Warner Chemical that`s in there (if at all) battling with Meg`s and 3M (and AutoMagic, etc.) for the dealer/bodyshop market. CG`s is just some Warner VP`s internet marketing wet dream, and I`d bet dollars to donuts that their revenue is a tiny drop in the bucket compared to Warner, 3M, or Meg`s, even ignoring the retail/consumer sales of those "big three".

    Its the same thing. Its your core values.



    Don`t get pissed, I don`t want to offend..but what you do when nobody is looking defines your true character.



    What if GM and Ford decided to look the other way and build cars in China because they dont care as long as its a product. Not good....

    Especially with a name like MOTOR CITY and a location of Detroit!



    You must believe in building and creating.
