Coopersport Prima Combo

 

^^ wait, who are you again?

 

I've done business with Jason at Coopersport when I bought my euro shelf. I was very happy with their service. I'm a little confused with the offering of Prima products however.

 

No need to be confused. Coopersport has worked with Prima Car Care to create a unique package of Prima Car Care products in one convenient bundle to round out our product offerings for the MINI.

In the US we will only be offering complete Combo bundles and encourage customers to visit Detailers Paradise to purchase individual Prima, and other brands, directly from the source.

In Canada, following the introduction of the Coopersport Prima Combo, we will be carrying the full Prima and Paradise line of car care products to cater to the Canadian market locally.

Please be assured that we have worked closely with Detailers Paradise to bring you this package and are an approved retailer for their exclusive line of Prima Car Care products.

If you have any other questions I would be happy to assist.

Cheers,
Jason.

 

OK Cool. Its just that we have all grown rather fond of Heather and Detailers Paradise, and we would have hated having to rough you up.

 

Well I'm glad that's been clarified. I got to admit, I was a little confused by this vendor announcement when I saw it yesterday.

 

LOL! Heather is great and has been an invaluable resource for both NAM and Coopersport.com

We have been working together for a while now to put this package together. To get the details right and to offer it at a great value. We will continue to offer the package after the introduction but the pricing, obviously, won't remain at the current structure. This stuff is just too good to be able to do that, but we want to get it into the hands of as many people as possible to experience the Prima benefits!

 

Wow - If you look at what comes with this package it is a great price. Kind of makes up a little for their sale price on the M7 USS one week after I bought mine for regular price at M7.

 

Hey, would you throw in a roll of painter's tape for masking off the black plastic trim?

Honestly though, I'm so used to Klasse and not worrying about the trim I'm a bit hesitant to make the switch (and I'm not sure the SO will go for the extra work involved..)

Does sound like great products/results, best of luck with the new venture.

 

ahh, now I see. I thought Prima was only sold at Detailers Paradise, but
now they are expanding to other vendors. that's great.

Thanks for clearing it up. (just needed an intro).

 

Sorry for the confusion about this guys!

I wanted Jason/Coopersport to be able to make the announcement themselves so I didn't give anyone on this forum the heads up.

Yes, Coopersport is an approved Prima retailer. As Jason already explained, Coopersport will eventually offer the entire Prima line to their Canadian customers. We felt that this will make it much easier for Canadian Prima fans to get ahold of Prima. Having to pay for international shipping from Detailers Paradise is a pain for Canadian customers. Coopersport will allow Prima to be much more accessible to our neighbors to the north.

As for the Prima kit offered by Coopersport, we thought it would be a nice way to offer a "deluxe" Prima starter kit to those who are already Coopersport customers (as well as their future customers and anyone else for that matter). The kit is available to both US and Canadian customers through Coopersport.

So what about the DP and Prima relationship? Nick and I own Detailers Paradise and Prima. We create, make, bottle, and label every single Prima product (well, except clay... we don't actually make clay b/c its protected by someone else's patent). DP just happens to be the biggest retailer of Prima. (our retailer in the UK sells quite a bit too) Although we don't allow just anyone to sell Prima, we do want to make it more accessible to customers in different markets. Each potential Prima retailer is screened for overall quality, customer service, and distribution advantage, to name a few.

I hope this clears up the confusion. To be honest, I'm very flattered that the Detailers Paradise loyalty brought around these questions. Thank you for your support!! Don't worry though... feel free to buy Prima from Detailers Paradise, Coopersport, or any other Prima retailer. We won't call you a traitor. We just want you to be able to use Prima and be happy little detailers.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. Also, feel free to visit our Prima website for a list of retailers: www.PrimaCarCare.com (note that I'll need a few minutes to update it with Coopersport! Doh!)

What I have found works for me is to apply Nero on the trim panels before applying any of the polishes, Amigo and before applying Epic wax.

This provides a nice slick cushion for any unwanted over applied wax on the trim. No matter how careful I am I always get a little wax on the trim panels but if the Nero is applied first I can simply wipe down the trim while I'm waiting 30-60 minutes for the Epic to cure before buffing. No white marks at all!

This simple trick can save you countless hours (and rolls of tape) during your regular detailing routine.

Cheers,
Jason.

 

Thanks, Heather. i am a loyal customer and when confusion comes up
i dont buy unless a familiar face clears it up.

well for me, (in IL) i will continue to purchase from DP.

 

btw, heather. would you please come up with a nice Prima clay container?

 

Funny you should ask! We're super close on finalizing one... not too different from the one you put your Prima clay into (from your photo).

We almost held off on selling the clay until we found a container but knew that many were eagerly and actively looking for clay... sooo, we didn't want to delay it. Many others sell it "as is" in its plastic with no problems so we knew it would be ok to do for a short time. We've always had plans to give it a container though... and we're close!

BTW, thanks for your DP support!

-Heather

 

I haven't seen what that container looks like but I hope it's not like the Meguiar's soap dish. The clay gets all sticky inside the container, and the plastic hinges have a way of breaking.

I've tried a lot of different ways of storing clay, and nothing has been all that great, so I'm looking forward to your solution.

sounds good, heather!

octaneguy- SOAP DISH?! hinges? check this out:

 

Oh lotion jars!!! I got those! Family is in the skin care industry if you remember. Hmm, yeah that's much better.

Meguiar's uses this soap box with a hinged lid--imagine a box that's split lengthwise. One side is hinged, and the other side has a fastener. Now make the sucker in China out of thin plastic and you got their wimpy solution.

 

Good tips, thanks

 

octaneguy- yeez. those actually retain moisture very well, seals well,
and looks very cool. since Prima products are salon looking nice
bottles, i like to keep that kind of look on my shelves for Prima.

 

After I saw your pix, it occured to me that maybe I'd use these jars. They are flatter. And then I remembered what's in it--Bentonite Clay. LOL.

 

^^ those are nice containers. but if glass, dont drop it!

 

Fortunately they are only plastic--frosted plastic that look like glass! Hmm, I think I got some empty jars around here...gonna go explore.

Richard

 

^^ very nice.
