Where do Canadians buy detailing gear?

Aside from ordering online from the States, where do you guys order your stuff from? I've been to Canadian Tire and Autosource and both pretty much suck if you want good bonnets, a wide range of supplies, good brushes, or really anything of any quality aside from a few luckily stocked Megs products.



I'm getting a little sick of paying duty and really high shipping costs. Anyone have any ideas?
 
Automotive Paint Supply places are really your only bet, and then you're limited to only Meguiars/3M and Farcela.



However, Meguiars products are top notch so at the very least, you can get high quality polish in Canada no problem.



There are 3 or 4 reputable online Canadian vendor's as well.



In Toronto, Zaino can be had at The Barber's Chair. Klasse is quickly being found as well.

I'm in Toronto, so any good local store recomendations are appreciated. It isn't the polish and wax so much that I'm worried about (although I haven't been able to find Meg's DACP), but the lack of PC bonnets and good buffing towels. Any ideas for those?



Er, nm. I just followed the link to eShine. Looks like I found what I was looking for. Thanks!
 
Buffing towels I've always purchased online and I'd highly recommend doing the same.



As for pads, if you are willing to drive out to Mississauga or Brampton - you can get 3M or Meguiars pads at Cmax.

Dude you can find everything in Canada, you just have to look.



I found out the hard way last year when I was looking for LC pads, the guy was right in front of me !

OK here's one for you. When I moved here from California I brought some Optimum polish with me, but am running low. I've looked but can't find any locally or online (in Canada), ideas?

:D



I e-mailed Chris today about it and he said he was thinking about getting some Optimum, but even if he did it would be a month+ before he got it. I might just have to bite the bullet and order from a U.S based online distributor.

Just fyi, Chris from eShine.ca sent me a PM mentioning that they will be selling Optimum compound, polish, and spray wax as soon as they can get a supply. Yay.
