    If you're ever down this way (Charlotte area), PM me and I will give you the address.

    It's a detailers dream in there. They also have 3M products, and all kinds of wash mitts, brushes, spray bottles, buffing pads, and a boatload of the new GC accessories.

    It's pricey though.

      I have gotten this behavior from PBE's staff before, because most people come into PBE's knowning what they want to purchase and are on their way in a couple of minutes tops. Usually there is no purusing the wares. Not the way I would conduct business if I had store front, ut each to their own. Further many PBE's do not do a big retail business, as a lot of business is done off the sales routes. If you go into one of my Local PBEs it is just a counter and the sales person goes to retrieve the item from the warehouse.

      Gallons of Medallion, who knew, that must be old stuff. I have not heard of the other products either, but this sounds like a Meguiars Museum.

      Speaking of old products, I found a bottle of #42 or #41 (I can not remember #) trim protectant a out the way auto parts stroe and the counterman told me this one of his best selling products and they guys who use it love it. I think the pitch was funny.

        They tell me that Meguiar's products are a big seller for them.

        Maybe it's the body shops & such that buy it off of them........Who knows?

          A local auto part store in town has some older Meguiars products.

              As old as this store looks, it wouldn't suprise me if they had the old Mirror Bright glass bottles stashed away somewhere.

              Just guessing though.
