Autogeek and Americana Car Care

Allergic to One Product
I got a "sale" email from Autogeek that featured a write up by Barry Theal on a Dodge Viper detail using Americana Car Care products. It looked FANTASTIC!!! When is Autogeek and/or Autopia Car Care going to carry Americana Car Care products???

when I took my hiatus from the forums, 3D/HD were never gonna come to PBMG. I do remember a fair bit of bashing on that part... and yet here we are

I don't think you can compare 3D/HD to Americana or whatever it's called. The former has multiple retail stores, a huge following for their polishes, and a large forum presence.

"Americana" has none of that. I here BT is an awesome detailer, but who's to say his products are better than anyone else's? Really you need more than a grass roots approach to become a large player in the detailing product world.

You'll see AMMO here before "Americana"

It's easy to see 3D is larger then Americana but they have been on the market for years. American is just coming up on it's first year. They are already in South America and headed to Europe soon. So it's too early to see where they are headed but if sales continue at their current pace I won't be surprised to see a major player pick the line up in the near future.

I never said "3D was larger". I listed 3 things I feel you need to be picked up here - none of those Americana has. Maybe things will change in multiple years - but I doubt it.

I made mention of the size comparison and age of both companies. The facebook forums frequently mention the up and coming brands. Americans , C.A.R and a few others. I believe these companies will continue to expand at a fast rate as long as they deliver what the customers want and listen to their needs.
 
AmeriRocks, AmeriDepth, AmeriOne and AmeriSeal were a pleasure to use from the sample pack I got a while pack. Each product was easy to use, did a great job and were very reasonable in each product needed. I haven't tried out the new stuff they are coming out with but you'd probably enjoy their products.

Never say never.
 
i am sure it would be considered if there was sufficient interest. It seems a lot of detailers start their own private brands made by someone else but tailored to their own specifics. I think some still have this notion that AG is against specifics products but I just do not see it. AG sells CG, Buff and Shine (think AG owns LC wholesale), etc and these were considered never as well.

I believe it is all about a pricing model that allows AG to buy it a wholesale price with sufficient room to mark up and sell profitably. Some private brands have wholesale costs close to the listed selling price because the maker's costs are high (small volumes, etc).
 
Max has built a empire by making smart decisions. Over the years we have seen many brands brought under his umbrella and a few that didn't make the cut. Some of the brands were already famous in the industry and some were brands Max may of seen as a diamond in the rough. I don't think PBMG is done expanding and many great products are yet to be discovered. The recent merger of two detailing forum giants may just be the beginning.
