Open Discussion - Not so at CarPro

Just want to say this site is awesome that it allows open discussions on such a wide array of products from a plethora of manufacturers. Over at CarPro I was banned for commenting on a defective item (bottle on Foam Canon). It was brought to their attention and they failed to act on it. A forum member was inquiring on the foam canon and I explained my experience with mine. I was banned for "taking shots at CarPro" and promoting Optimum.

They are a joke. I guess ONLY CarPro products are good and everything else is crap. And we can't explain our experiences with THEIR products unless they are only positive. Shady practices over there.

Thank you Autopia for having an open forum for us to discuss detailing products. And to think I have 10X as many CarPro products compared to Optimum. Well my business with CarPro will cease forever.
 
Frisco, Texas -

If there was ever a Straight-Shooter - it would have to be you, for so many reasons...

Over all the years - I mean lots of years - that I have followed your posts, I have always felt that you speak the truth with fairness, all the time..
Thanks so much for all the work you have done for all of us !

In regards to that site you mentioned - I have never, ever, felt comfortable with first of all, their marketing business plan and secondly, the amount of products that were pushed out so quickly, some just had problems from the get-go...

They do have some great things going, and I am glad for that, but I'm with you; and positive I would have been banned a long time ago... :)

I too appreciate the open forum here at Autopia, which allow discussion of non-PBMG distributed products as well as active discussions, that sometimes get a bit heated, but always tend to have a humorous undertone.

The AutoGeek Forum has similar rules as the one at CarPro-US.

I always believe that a Consumer should give the vendor the opportunity to make it right, by contacting them offline, before blasting them from behind the keyboard.

I had a similar experience when talking to a local Carpro dealer.
Made a comment, and received unfriendly response from the dealer.
Thought mine was isolated case. Look at the props in this post, turn out it might be "like attracts like" along the stream of Carpro.
 
I see them as a leader of innovation in the industry that also need to do more testing before they release their products. I own and use many of their products, and will buy more. However, now I wait until their new products are tested by others first before I make the plunge.
 
Not to jump thread, but since Ron is infamous with Reload why not we rename it or refer to it as: Ronload

not many forums are open discussion. thats why i love autopia so much, the freedom is much needed.

i can see where carpro can be offended when someone speaks about another product on their forum though. their house, their rules i guess

not sure why there would be an expectation of an open discussion @ carpro....

Please tell me about another Company, outside of detailing; that has their own Forum and allows people to come on it to endorse competitive brands and denegrate the Forum providers products.

Meguiar's = Open

Autopia = Open


So there are places for anyone to go and express their opinions freely, without insulting a company Sponsored Forum Owner by undermining their business on a website they pay for.


Please dont come come to my house and pee in my pool.

Build your own pool, or go to the local pond.

Filtering the water will cost you extra

Wow !!

IMHO. If the company really cared about their customers, they would welcome feedback. And if there is a problem, to remedy it. If that's the case..... Then everybody would see that the customer does count. So is it a forum that welcomes customers and actually cares about what's happening, or is it a mutual adoration society ???

And I've got my own pool........................................
 
This is painful to read. I feel awful when I admire and respect two people who don't like each other.
