Where to get Meguiars M80 in Chicago

Looking to try the Meguiars M80 and polishing pad after seeing the showcargarage video, but not sure where to get it. I checked the site and went to Lee's, but they had a really small selection and didn't have what I wanted. Before I call up the other places I thought maybe someone here would know.

Also, does anyone know which propel pad is equivalent to the Meguiars polishing pad. I tried the propel green polishing pad, but it seemed to soft, yellow seemed to hard and my uncle destroyed my orange one.

thanks for any help.

As it is considered a professional product, i.e. not OTC, you will have to order it online. Here is where I ordered all my professional grade Meguiars products:

Sorry that I don't have any info on Propel pad. Hopefully someone will chime in...

Yah I used their locator to find the places which has professional products and Lee's did have some, but only a few. Thanks for your help, I guess I will just give a few places a call.

If you're going to buy it directly from Meguiar's, consider supporting a NAM vendor. ME.

https://www.showcargarage.com/eshop/...sp?id=74&bc=no

I don't have the lowest prices, but I do offer as much advice and experience as I can back to the community. I also offer the ability for NAMers to save on shipping and Will Call their orders if they are in the Los Angeles/Orange County area.

Just my 2 cents.

Richard

Hahah, I would like to thank and congratulate Bamatt for being my first customer of Meguiar's products in the shop! In fact, I included a special little gift for her that even she doesn't know about. Although after the fact, I realized I could have really hit the ball out of the park had I included my yet unnamed magic trim goo...but I was rushing for a FedEx deadline and forgot! Next time!

This is what I'm currently carrying--they're the essential products that I use when I work.

Available in both quarts and gallons
M80 Speed Glaze (quarts and gallons)
M83 DACP (quarts and gallons)
M66 Quick Detailer (gallon)
Last Touch (gallon) & spray bottle/triggers

Professional Blue Clay,
W7006 pads
W8006 pads
W9006 pads
foam applicator pads (2pk)

Blue painters tape (currently 3/4" and 1" and getting more smaller sizes)

It's not likely carry M21 (unless I find there to be demand..but personally, I much prefer Prima Epic over M21. Epic has none of the the drawbacks of 21, but the same look, durability, and ease of use.
