    I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

    I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
    Remove swirls my friends.

    I use mostly the consumer line. I get almost all my products from Walmart.

                I mostly order online from ADS and have it shipped to family. This way I save a lot of money, almost cut my invoice in half or more everytime ! Now that the canadian dollar is worth more than the US, it's even more money saved for me.
                Detailing stuff is very expensive in Canada.

                  Only good if you live in the good ol' US of A. Alot of us don't. Just saying.....

                  I have no choice but to use Walmart, and Canadian Tire. I'd rather not but what can I do. Online stores (Canadian) are limited to what they carry and to buy from the US..well we get killed on shipping. E-Shine is great for the amount of product they carry of Megs. I've just recently swiched to LC pads because I can't get Megs ones anymore. Which ***** because I don't like the LC pads now that I've tried them.

                    I used to order all the time from Amazon.com....started to order stuff from Autogeek & ADS as I like a lot of their stuff they carried.
                    Right now I'd say I'm about 90% AG & ADS and only 5% Amazon & 5% Walmart/Can Tire.....

                        ADS. Don't have to worry about quality. Service keeps me coming back.

                              Autogeek is a "go to" favorite too. I just like "family" run businesses in the current economy.
