Title: AutoSmart
Post by: GolfDan on 17 September 2008, 10:46
Right here goes chaps I have been holding off this for a little while through aprehension!

I am going to try and get hold of the Autosmart retail range and begin selling it via ebay to begin with but I will also sell on here with a discount to club members.

Some of you may know that Autosmart are well established and generally only sell to trade. In addition to the retail products I will also try and get the more workshop orientated gear but that may mean I have to decant it into retail sized containers myself.

Just want to gauge interest really I am also hoping to have Meguiars and DODO Juice in the near future.

Cheers Guys

Dan

Never tried any of it, but always looking to increase my detailing product "arsenal"   :smug:

I'm hoping you'll be doing samples for forum members to try before buying from you, and offering a decent forum discount  :wink: :smiley:

I've used the carnauba gold wax, and it is still beading water after about 4 months, and its only £7ish!

Out of interest what p+p do you pay on that?
Title: Re: AutoSmart
Post by: NewGolf on 20 September 2008, 09:14
Say for 2 of the US Gallon sized tubs plus a few of the Megs sprayer bottles and say a pack of MF cloths it would cost me about £15 to the Channel Islands.

Its not cheap to get the stuff here, BUT there isnt anyone over here selling it at all, so I bring it in! I have many mates who are starting to get diluted stuff from me as it works out a lot better value than the retail kits. They also prefer these products, and at different strengths, for example APC can be diluted 10:1 and one guy uses it at 15:1 ! Powerful stuff.

I'm very interested need to start building up got any prices?
Title: Re: AutoSmart
Post by: GolfDan on 06 October 2008, 14:33
Not as yet because the products can be a bugger to get hold of due to them being trade only. I thought that because I worked there they might trade with me directly but as their a franchise based company I have to go through the distributor network. Im hoping by the end of this week to have samples and priclists.

Anyone interested keep an eye on this thread  :wink:

Right after much badgering of the technical director I will be going to get some samples tomorrow afternoon. They will be going to Guy and Candy Turbo who can then post their reviews in this section for everyone else to check out.
