Looking to use one product line...

**nonwelder** · 10-02-2008, 10:43 AM

I know there are disadvantages of using just one product line, but it helps me since I am employed full time and do detailing when I can.

So, I am looking for one line to use. I thought about CG, but I am unsure. Right now, I think Megs might be a good option. Thoughts? I am hoping to expand the business more in 2009, so this is a vital step for me. I want quality products at reasonable prices!

Thanks.

meguiars...chemicals and polishes are all pretty darn good! especially M105 and the APC+

but why one line...its not hard to place an order with autogeek or exceldetail and get different products...

Thanks. I don`t know..just like to use one product line. Guess I am goofy like that. All the megs products I have used so far are great.

I for one don`t think I could do just 1 product line. So many companies have different approaches which make their products on the cutting edge. I like having a variety to choose from.

Optimum is updating their polishes, if the compound and hyper compound (and an finishing polish is in the works, I believe) are as good as the new version of the polish, I may at least be able to stick with one polishing line. Right now, I use Meguiars, Optimum and 3M.

A couple options that I would consider if I wanted just one manufacturer:

Meguiar`s

Optimum

Chemical Guys

I don`t think it`s possible to use only one product line unless it`s Megs` cause most specialize in paints and some only specialize in interior cleaners and some in other areas but none really specialize in all catagories except Meg`s.

I would suggest Meg`s or 3M, they both have huge selections as well as something for every part of the car.

If you`re looking for complete auto detailing from A to Z (cleaner, compound, polish, LSP, APC, upholstery, carpet, dressings, interior, exterior, tools, etc.), Meguiars is pretty comprehensive and affordable.

Duragloss, although less `boutique` than some, seems to have most needs covered. The only thing it doesn`t have is an abrasive polish.

Nuts. Nuts, I say!

Pick a favorite line sure, but every line has its losers. Never pay for a loser product.

Diversify as little as possible if you must, but sticking with a single line for the sake of itself, seems like a losing situation.

Hope this helps.

I love Meg`s, if i had to choose just 1, thatd be it

**rm1mty** · 10-05-2008, 05:38 PM

I would probably do Meg`s. Lot of auto body supply shops stock it, and if they don`t, they can usually get it within 1 business day. Most of the shops around me primarily stock Meg`s and 3M, and Megs product line is usually cheaper.

If you are fully licensed and can get shop pricing, Meg`s as your sole product line is tough to beat.

I don`t know of a more complete line out there than Meguiar`s. They have some of the top products in several categories in the industry.

Their prices are also fantastic- especially when compared to some other brands (Often 1/3rd or 1/5th the cost!).

I actually started out as a Mothers user, then dabbled in Zaino, and Meguiars. From there I tried several brands (Optimum, Menzerna, and lake country, to name a few) but at the end of the day I *usually* reach for a Meguiar`s product.

Of course there will always be a product somewhere, in some category that can beat one of theirs...but overall, as the original poster asked, Meguiar`s I think would have the best and most complete line up.
