Need help categorizing Meguiar's products..

[Ryan L.]

Alright guys...my brother and I have the database all working with a bunch of old test data, now its time to upload the new products and new URL's and we'll be done.

Here's where I could use some help and I would greatly appreciate it. With the new meguiarsdirect.com site, none of the Mirror Glaze line is categorized. So if possible, could somebody categorize the pure polishes, paint cleaners, cleaner polishes etc?

These are the categories I need:

Paint Cleaners
Cleaner/Polishes
Pure Polishes
Cleaner Waxes
Polish/Waxes
Pure Waxes

Again, just the professional line.

Thanks,
Ryan

Do you want the full part number (M2616), slang (M26), or the other system #26?

Acutally if you could just put the name there, then I can do the rest with Excel and Access.

Thanks so much, Chris!!

Hmm... this is a little off the top of my head real quick.. I may have to go back and edit it, I think I may have invented a number or two...

Pure Waxes - #16, #20, #21, #26.. #20 could be said to be a cleaner/wax as well though...

Cleaner/wax - #151, #66, #6

Pure Polish - #3, #5, #7, #81

Cleaner/Polish - #9, #80, #82, #83

Cleaner - #1, #2, #4, #84, #85, #95, #105

Soap - #00, #62



Cleaner/Polish - #9, #80, #81, #83

Actually, they just categorized the Meguiar's site.... They are kind of calling the Solo M86 a seperate thing....

Wouldn't 151 fit under cleaner/polish and cleaner/wax? or should there be a seperate category for it? Cleaner/polish/wax?

[Murr1525]

Re: Need help categorizing Meguiar's products..

Meguiars cleaner/waxes do cover the 3 steps, cleaner/polish/wax.

Of course! Sorry, wasn't thinking there

Is this list going to be put into an excel file?

Well my brother and I are working on a database of all of Meguiar's products that will be available to MOL for quick searching. Read Meguiar's Online Product Database. I don't like to toot my own horn, but I think this thing is going to be amazing. We are going to try and finish before this Thursday (I leave for vacation then), but we are going to really have to get moving to finish it by then.

Thanks guys, really helps me out!!

I'm loving that idea! That would seriously make things so much better and easier when trying to find information about the products!

Would you also include links to threads where they reviewed certain products and compared them?

You bet it will. Also, all the links from the List O' Links 2.0 will be in there as well. This will allow people that know what link they want to just type some of the words in and there you go. The returned data will be in the URL form the this site accepts so you just copy and paste.

Also, let me know if you need any help with anything. I work at an office all day and I rarely have much to do, so I don't mind helping. I'd love to contribute to such a useful project!!!

Re: Need help categorizing Meguiar's products..

Do you have Excel at work? If so, I'll e-mail you what we need to finish in order to finish the database.

If anybody else would like to help with grabbing image URL's and main URL's, prices, sizes, feel free to post to this thread and I'll e-mail you what I'm working on.
