Porter Cable Package Deal for members of Meguiar's Online!

[Mike Phillips]

Hi all,

To anyone thinking about purchasing a Porter Cable Dual Action polisher, if you can hold off your purchase until sometime next week, Meguiar's is putting together a Package Deal for members of Meguiar's Online.

We will be bundling a collection of products into this package so that you will have everything you need to produce show car results. This collection will of course include Meguiar's G-100a, the Porter Cable Dual Action Polisher.



The Meguiar's G-100 includes a lifetime warranty

I figured I would ask people to chime in with a list of products they would like to see included in the Meguiar's Online Members Only package deal?

Here's what I have so far,

2 each W-8006
1 each w-9006
1 each M-8332
1 each Tech Wax

Anyone care to make suggestions as to what you think would make a killer deal?

Feel free to add to my list, take away from my list, change the quantities in my list and a suggest a reasonalbe target price to stay under that would scream good value!

An ultimate bonnet, or a 2-pack of MF towels.

That would be AWESOME Mike!

I would like to see:

Micro fibers
Odor Eliminator
Ultimate Bonnet
The set of 3 pads WDAV99B
Quick Clay Detailing System


Maybe some professional products packaged in a small size besides a whole case

Glass Cleaner
Engine Cote
Citri gel

I hope you can package a deal without all the NXT line...already have it all.

Maybe a package for us that have most of the products, but really want a good deal on the PC and pads.

[Davo]

I would like to see a glass polish and what size pads can the porter cable accept.

Something else Mike...

NO Shipping would be EXCELLENT!!!

also some #83

I know the professional line that I posted like the glass cleaner would do REALLY well if you could package it even in 1 gallon for us that don't need a whole case.

Mike, this is great news.

How about:

Quick Clay System
Ultimate Bonnet
WDAV99B
The whole NXT line of products


Thanks for asking us our opinion's

[Davo]

I would suggest the

G-110A

2 each W-8006
2 each w-9006
1 each M-8332 DACP 32 oz
1 each Tech Wax


and I would also throw in

1 M-9920 Ultimate Bonnett
2 M-9910 Ultimate Wipes

Of course I already bought a PC about a month ago

This is great news. First let me say hello to all, just joined and have already learned alot. Just yesterday I put a PC in my cart, just didn't know what to put in there with it. I looked at the Centenial Package but just didn't think I needed all that. I don't know all the numbers but a basic detail kit for the average car or truck would be nice. Free shipping is also a nice touch. Thanks for having a great forum to come to with question.

Since there are some, like me, who are just starting out and have always done things by hand, I don't know where to start and am still confused by all the products and corresponding numbers.

I would like a REAL starter kit to include:

G-100a
Velcro backing plate
2 Polishing pads
2 Wax application pads
2 Ultimte bonnets

Polish
Wax
Sealant

I don't know enough to use the real names or numbers so advice is needed. I use the above as reference only and am not sure of the order.

In essence, I need everything to do a basic 3 step process.

Oh ya, and FREE shipping.

LOL, I was going to go hogwild, but I want to make sure that the thing gets done!

Mike, you suggested that we suggest a target price, as well. That's kind of difficult, because I bought one PC from Coastal for $120 with the plate & weight, and the other as a 7336 (with the proper weight) for $89 at Lowes, and picked up a backing plate for $12. Meg's offers a lifetime warranty, and each of us would have to decide the value of that for ourselves.

I'd say, keep it under $200. And offer two levels; a "paint care survival kit", which would be what you have listed, maybe with clay, wash, and mf towel or bonnet, and a "complete care survival kit", which would include a the paint care kit plus vinyl protectant (#40 or NXT; I'd choose #40 because it's both cleaner and protectant), maybe odor eliminator, rubber dressing, a couple applicators and towels, glass cleaner, and carpet cleaner, and the set of little brushes. Keep that one under $300.

I agree.... make a couple options, if the price is right I just might be tempted to sell my porter cable and get the Meguiars for the warranty alone. I would be interested in some ulltimate bonnets. I have never used one and I hear people rave about them might be nice to toss one in to get people to try them.

This really looks like a good idea. I really got hooked on detailing in the last month and have been reading and learning everything I possibly can about detailing.

I really feel this is a great opportunity to get guys like me permanently hooked on detailing.

However, I feel that the replies to this post are a little overboard. I'm seeing way too many products listed here!

I think you should really consider the college guy. The broke college guy who found a new hobby that he is really into.

The Basics:
Electric Dual Action Polisher, (2) W-8006, (1) W-9006, Ultimate Wipes or Ultimate Bonnet

As for products I think smaller bottles of DACP and NXT wax would be best. The samples should be just enough to detail 3-4 vehicles.

Consider the college guy who would love to save a little. I am thinking of a price somewhere around $120-150. But you’re thinking, “Hey, that’s a lot of loss in profits.” If you want to get customers for life, take risks and make a deal work. This deal would work. Thanks.

[mxman]

Really, Really.

just make sure it's very affordable or my wife isn't going to be a happy camper

I personally would like to see the porter cable, and a top fo the line product allowing one to do professional level detailing, without having to own a shop or get a second mortgage. I would add PlastX and glass treatment products to the list.
