- Wholesale auto detailing supplies and some words from Darren at www.best-auto-detailing-tips.com/
Do professional detailers really get the "insiders" price and have secret connections to getting supplies that you yourself cannot? - Авто та транспорт
I liked the bottle fill trick. Thanks
Hey Darren I purchased a few gallons of maguires professional line degreaser, cleaner and spray bottles from your web site hopefully you got your 7%. I'd like to thank you for turning me on to the profession products the results are amazing.The degreaser spilled a bit during shipping tho, wasn't to happy about that.
I got to see what goodies you got. I'm excited for you😎
I work for Stinger Chemicals we make and sell car wash chemicals and detail supplies. Retail and wholesale.
Americas detailing supply sells throughout the country. Wholesale to the public
Good video I saw that list by the way haha! Stay real Darren thanks again
You probably dont care but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can stream all the latest series on Instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf for the last weeks :)
@Mohammad Maximilian yup, have been watching on Instaflixxer for since december myself :)
Darren can you please go over how you clean exhaust tips ?
Thanks and you da man
Not all exhaust tips are created equal, so it depends on the material of the tip: chrome plated, machined aluminum, pot metal, etc. I use anything from steel wool, to Magic Erasers, to Scotch Brite scrub pads. It just depends on the exact situation.
***** There you go, yet another way that would be very effective. Thanks!
you are the man
zep and rolite products can be purchased at wholesale. try zep formula 50 to replace your super degreaser.
I know this might be somwhat obvious but have you considered using a soft bristle electric tooth brush??
We can only wish we could get wholesale prices.
I do however have been sent products to test for free which is always a good thing. :)
Hey Darren were do you get your car prouducts at.
Hi, been watching these for a while and noticed no one speaks on the shammy is there a reason
Yes getting paid might be a professional but they may be just be professional car washers and here in my town the term detail gets thrown around very loosely.
Like the crew of about 5 to 10 guys around here that claim to be mobile detailers that go around.
And they won't wash your car before they buff it. so the Grits swirls it up.
And they take a 5000 PSI hot water washer and spray the seats and Carpet Right inside of vehicle without even taking the seats and carpet out.
Then the mechanic at the dealership doesn't know why everything is shorting out and why they're having to send all these cars to my detail shop where I also do upholstery repair.
And I'm having to replace Headliners which is fine I get paid to do it but the headliners were in good shape until they got the car soaking wet I mean how stupid is that.
I work for the public they hardly ever work for public I work for dealers also.
But It's just sad I mean I do better since the detailers around here are hacks butt.
But there used to be some good ones around here you know and if there was at least one other decent one around here we could help each other out you know but
Black plastic restoration!!Did you do it?

You only hid your address on one paper
Autoality.com. Customer service is outstanding and packages ship the same day most of the time. The Detailer's Club membership fee can be made up in a single order. Just something to checkout, if you have not already! (not sure of the shipping costs to the west coast though). Thanks, Zeke
I guess your only wholesale advantage is buying in bulk knowing you'll use it ie. 5-25 litres. I dont do this for a living but I do the same for home, I buy either meguirs or, we have carplan here which is 1/3 of the price, and buy in 5l tubs that last years. Rarely bother with £10-15 500ml products anymore.
Do you know the chemical that the detailers use to strip Plasti dip off cars ? Thanks:)
tire shine will take it off.
Not sure what other detailers use, but I use Rapid Remover. Works excellent. You can find it at this page in the right hand column, half way down the page. I will tell you in advance that I am having technical issues with my sites right now I am trying to resolve, but the links still work.
As a car dealership owner, who has an in-house detail shop with multiple detailers, I can say that your information is a little misleading. We purchase our detail products from "The Supply Co.", in Monroe, Wa. They only sell to body shops, car dealerships, and detail shops. They will not sell to you unless you have a business license, and resellers permit with within one of the businesses I mentioned. We purchase our tire shine, wheel acid (Which is not allowed to be sold online or in retail stores to consumers, real wheel acid), car shampoo, degreaser, and a few other products by 55GAL drums and extremely discounted prices. These drums are not available to consumers. We purchase polish, compounds, waxes, interior dressings, each in 5-gallon containers.
Just a little information from someone in the business.
very good tips, 55 gallon and 5 gal
im a detailer at Acura and my 2nd job is at Mitsubishi and as the main detail guy there i get my supplys from Beaver strips they have good prices for example i get a 55 gallon witch that is a barrel of degreaser i pay 165$ so yea they have good prices and all that supplys at AutoZone and pet boys sucks
+Edward Bautista I was in an Advance-Auto store who informed me they sell to all the local car dealers and suggested some retail products. None of the consumer stuff I have tried works very good like you said. One of these dealers was offering $8/hr for a detailer (good luck finding someone) LOL
+heavymechanic2 what do you mean good luck finding someone?
I meant to the dealer offering work for cheap, not you.
+heavymechanic2
oh yea thats cheap. sucks for that guy detailing that car. here we charge 180 for a full detail
im sorry. but autogeek? I have many wholesale accounts with many companies. autogeek is a joke
and there you have it folks, the very voice I mentioned in the video has spoken....
Auto Fetish Detail You're actually a tad bit wrong on this on Darren. There are a FEW companies that offer "industry professional products only". Such as Opti-Coat/Opti-Guard Pro from Optimum. The general public cannot buy this stuff, and they even took Opti-Coat 2.0 off the market (a diluted version for consumers) just so they can reign it in even more.
There are a few other specialty coating companies that do the same, and you have to sign up with them and meet minimum requirements (purchasing, liability insurance, etc).
But, for the most part you are correct. 99.99% of the products used in detailing can be bought by the general public at the same pricing. Even most professionals can't meet the "wholesale" pricing of some places, but "commercial pricing" accounts do exist for most vendors. Every shop/vendor I've placed orders with or walked into has asked if I was a business or hobbyist. All I had to do was hand them a business card and they signed me up for their "wholesale" accounts. Which is what I think most people are referring to. Do you get different products? No. Better pricing? Yes... if you meet the minimum purchasing requirements.
Heck, the guy I get my towels from gives better pricing for repeat customers if you email him vs. buying online.
***** Yes Jason, you essentially said most of what I was pointing out in the video. Most nubes think there is a secret "place" to get all this cool professional stuff for detailing. There are just so many variables that go into play when someone out there talks about wholesale detail supplies. I too have what many call "The good guy" price. I only get a discount for being a repeat customer and it's a case by case based on the product I am buying. Most guys starting out in the business are not even close to the level of buying enough product to worry abut it.
And yes, there are a few select products as you mentioned, that you have to be "certified" in order to purchase. But once again, for the beginners, this is a non-issue as they should be concerned with far more other things.
Did you learn what you know about detailing on your own? Thanks
I learned most of the products through testing them myself. I learned how to develop an eye for details as a result from very picky customers who taught me little by little all the many things people focus on as their pet peeves. I have taken numerous classes for detail training, but my customers have taught me the most when it comes to dealing with them, and developing an "eye for details".
Protect it wholsaler
A building contractor my save 25.00 on a unit of studs. Big deal. 😀
I get my products from pbe warehouse :-)
I have been detailing for 20years in Montana I buy all my chemicals from a distributor at prices that is about 50% cheaper than anywhere I have looked. The public can not buy these products unless they buy in quanity. Sorry u are miss informing people or just trying to to sell crap on your behalf.
I usually buy most of my products at this store, Auto Body Parts Supplier
15801 Rockfield Blvd, Irvine, have you been there? It's a good store because they have most of the things you need in the professional world and you don't have to pay for shipping.
Wtf their many wholesale products for example Auto Wax Co
Nice video but you shouldn't have to explain how much you pay because people will still assume no matter what
You are right...I shouldn't have to explain myself on many things. But I take into consideration I am dealing with a very wide customer/demographic base: absolute beginners to experienced professionals.
Well that makes it more understandable from that point of view and it only shows that you care that much and people of your make up is hard to come by
You telling me exactly how much you make on commission and then making these videos for me to watch and be educated for free?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?! Of course I am going to click on your website to be directed to autogeek and buy!!!!
keep the govt out
p.s you didnt cover over your address in the second page of the document hahaha
there is whole sale if you don't mind buying from china
wholesale does exist, I buy direct from the manufacturer. ie the same company that makes chemicals for 90% of the market, just generic branded.
australianmade74 most of the time you can't buy direct from the manufacturer , so why don't you enlighten us on your contact ?
can you send me the contact info on the manufacturer
Jesus. Man I like your videos but you really need make outline beginning to end what you Want to cover in video and not side note and repeat 3 times. I'm not trying be mean but more as constructive helping may. 3 times you had conversation on how you can't get it wholesale.
So noted and valid observation. As I say many times, just like every other area of my life, "I am a work in progress".
