They are honestly the best in terms of a one stop shop 😊 Scott from Detail Division is excellent as well, but not everybody wants to buy the highest end products out there, since they are a premium proce point, and autoality is great because they have the whole spectrum and variety and the customer service is phenomenal
This was informative and helps me understand the reasons behind items being out of stock. I’ve definitely noticed price increases on detailing supplies and will be making small adjustments in my prices effective 1-1-2022. I hope the delays and increased shipping costs for products coming out of Asia gets more companies to research having their products made in the USA.
I mean I knew about supply chains and price increases with inflation, but since we live inside our detailing businesses I was just trying to figure out what the heck was going on. What have you noticed increase so far?
Thanks! I have a bunch of videos shot, finding time to edit is the issue but I try to sneak in a couple of hours in the morning or night so I hope to get a new one out in the next couple days...
Another very informative video Nick. What detailers must consider is the impact of all of these shortages on your Local detail suppliers. People will be tempted to search out for cheaper options on Amazon and other on line sites. Be mindful that the local guy who runs a detail supply company will be suffering too. As professional detailers we need to keep buying from these guys, they are small businesses too. They rely on us for business, don't let the temptation of a bargain on E bay or Amazon be a deciding factor. All detailers, If you have had a supplier consistently providing you with quality products over the years, don't throw them under the bus just to save a few dollars. Those small business detail supply owners need us now more than ever to keep their wheels turning. They too have family and children to feed, bills to pay etc. I am Sure Jeff Bazos has a few $$$$ in a safe place for the future. This will all pass in time, small business owners sometimes are living on the edge of survival. Support if possible your local small business in every purchase you make, they will remember who supported them in the hard times. What goes around comes around.
Thanks Adam! Autoality is amazing, the detailers club membership is such a good deal. The only time I stray is for rupes lol since autoality doesn't carry the line
Thanks! As detailers we are wired a little differently .... we love to know the why and dig down deep into our world so I figured I would leave some of his long, detailed answers in there instead of cutting them up to make the video pace a little snappier
Loving the honestly Nick. I’m really enjoying this content as it’s very insightful. I was told from a local distributor here in NC, Majestic Solutions, several months ago about the price increases and that it was only a matter of time until everybody went up.
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah everything else in life is going up but I felt like I hadn't seen it in detailing products quite yet...although it's inevitable
This insight was extremely helpful to me as I'm starting my mobile business in the spring and was already wondering how covid and supply chain issues might disrupt me. I'm on a tight budget and was debating if I should stock up on microfiber towels now, or wait until I have more customers late spring/early summer. I think it seems pretty risky to wait, at least on essential items and anything imported.
Nick, honestly, I love all of your content. I guess you could say that I enjoy a mix of different videos, including tips and tricks, detailing, product reviews and corrections. Yet I don’t know how you can leave out info on what’s impacting the detailing world. Hope that helps.
And I dont know that these are going to be huge changes, but as a percentage change they aren't insignificant is what I believe he was saying. So at scale they for sure are noticeable but maybe pad to pad won't be as shocking
1:1 amazing on tires AND for temporary dressing on black rims that are scratched and water spotted...you could just spray it on the whole rim and tire lol
