Has anybody used their products? Specifically spray waxes and quick detailers?

No, but Poyzin mentioned them the other day. Someone was looking for a U.V. detailing spray.

I have heard their products are awesome, and some of the results I've seen are incredible. I've got too many detailing products already so I haven't bought any, but once I start running out again I plan on loading up with chemical guys in a bad way.

 

Honestly all I have ever seen is people dog out the "chemical guys" on detailing threads. I have never heard anyone actually dog out their products just their name. Dunno what it's about but I have never tried anything of theirs.
Somebody be the guinea pig & report back to me

 

I know they play internet games. Fail to add the "s" after Detailer as in www.DetailersParadise.com and you go to that crap Chemical Goof's site.
To me that is a petty ploy to steal business from a good company.
For that reason I won't use them for anything, ever.

 

Ahh....I was not aware of that. No way will I try them knowing that. That is underhanded IMHO. Thanks

Besides, when possible I like to support vendors who support this site. I don't see that the Chemical Guys do.

 

They make some decent products. Speed wipe is a nice detail spray but I still prefer FK1 425. Pete's 53 is a decent carnauba. I used 5 or 6 of their products long before I ever joined this board but that is pretty shady what they do to Detailer's Paradise.

 

They are a manufacturer who private labels for many companies such as Adams Polishes--most of his stuff is Chemical Guys relabeled.

I know the Chemical Guys personally--the owner has a Classic Mini and most recently a Smart Car for their Smart Wax line--their shop is about 15 minutes from my house.

Their products are decent. They have thousands of products and I was given their best and most popular stuff to test and I wasn't exactly wowed by anything in particular however.

I asked them about DetailerParadise and they claim they registered it before Nick (whom they know) registered DetailersParadise, but never used it. Based on this quick WhoIs lookup, I see they are wrong about that...

looks like they expire today.

 

Good eye, I didn't even notice that. Wonder if they will let it go or not, lol.

 

they should. playing cheap in business is just not the way it should be
done.

 

If they do I'm going to buy it and start selling nufinish and windex

 

Hopefully they will let it expire since it's the right thing to do & hopefully Heather & Nick will snap it up so no one else can


I also like Darkness' idea but only if you promise to also sell Turtle Wax liquid clay & lots & lots of terry cloth towels

 

in a Darkness brand...

 

I shall relabel it all and call it "Black LOL"

I was thinking of the red shop rags as well as terry cloths...

 

You have to include the full line of Armor All.

 

and chamois towels....

 

ShamWOW

 

and this would be for Blimey ... Comet (rebranded of course to BlackComet).

 

Soft Scrub - rebranded as "Wax".

 

Dawn becomes intensive cleaning car soap w/ liquid wax and scotchbrite pad becomes a car wash sponge on one side, bug scrubber on the other!

 

Pledge as a wax...

 

Don't forget us cabrios. We always get left out. Please be sure to stock some top restorer & protectant

(also doubles as trim restorer & wheel shine )

 

Thanks for the info guys. I am really more interested in reviews on specific products than cheap business practices.

 

I guess not a lot of people around here like to do business with people who have a rep for cheap business practices

I am sorry to say that I have now become intrigued with the prospect of Darkness opening an online detailing shop...
