Nah, I'm not gonna contact any vendors. Given my presence here, and prior/ongoing patronage of certain vendors, I can imagine somebody feeling obligated to help me out and I just don't want to put anyone in that position. Plus, I don't want to put *myself* in the position of having accepted anything like that, even for a good cause.
A few things I might oughta mention: I'm the only serious detailer in the Club, the only guy who'd appreciate most "Autopia-level" products; as it is, I have to run around finding the people who select those prizes so I can explain what the stuff is and how to use it. There'll be all sorts of other stuff provided by others, so I don't need to do anything big. I'll just pick up a few small-size products and maybe some cheap MFs and say "good enough", at least for this year.
Maybe next time I'll go about this differently :think: I've been toying with the idea of doing some kind of detailing clinic for the Club, and maybe I could get some members more into the whole detailing thing.

The OP seems to shy away from Optimum though, why is that Accumulator?
As noted, I'm not contacting *any* vendors. But to answer your question, the only Optimum product I like/use at present is ONR, and I don't even use that the way most people do. If I were to contact some vendor, I'd choose somebody whose products I like/use/purchase regularly.
Actually, I *might* buy a few little bottles of ONR. I've recommended it (and even set one guy up with MFs/ONR/etc.) to people in the Club for whom my regular wash regimen isn't feasible. I'd rather sped a few bucks than ask for freebies.
) money on something.
