Help us make Autopia even better! At your convenience, answer the questions listed below. We're always listening to feedback to make Autopia the best forum and store possible.

By far the best on line community for anything and detailing. I have learned a lot here, made some friends and met a great group of people.

• What is your favorite brand we carry?

Hard to say, I like a lot of them and it changes over time. Currently a toss up between Polish Angel and GTECH. GTECH is a proven winner and Polish Angel is my up an coming favorite. Just need to see durability.

• Is there a brand we do not currently carry, that you would like to see us carry in the future?

Geyon. I like the product and would prefer to buy it here for many reasons.

You guys need to get stuff out the door faster and to me faster for a reasonable rate. Unless I speak to Ray personally and he handles everything it seems to drag.

Washing

• Why do you pick the Autopia Store over other stores for your detailing supplies?

Selection

I like to see more reviews from Detailers for Skilled non pros.

Sharing of information

Menzerna

• Is there a brand we do not currently carry, that you would like to see us carry in the future?

None that I can think of

• If you could change one thing about Autopia, what would it be?

Order turn time/cost of shipping. Quite frankly you lose a lot of $ from me because of the minimum order requirement for free shipping, and when I do buy something it takes at least a week to get here. I'm 2-3 days by UPS Ground zone which means it's sitting somewhere, and based on shipping info it's your warehouse. Then I pay dearly for that service?

The owner seeing it for the first time.

Full disclosure? I don't.

I own multiple of both. They both have their place.

• What is your favorite type of Autopia Sale? (Coupon Code, Products Marked Down, Free Shipping, Free Gifts, etc)

% off sitewide Free Shipping

• Would you enjoy seeing more reviews by detailers?

That depends on who the detailer is. That guy that 6 days ago was asking what the best DA was then is posting his expert review? I'll pass. Mike P, Todd H? I'll read every one.

• What kind of reviews do you enjoy the most? (Individual product reviews, comparison reviews, long term reviews, etc)

Product tips/hints/processes.

• What is your favorite part of being involved with Autopia.org?

Excellent members and Moderators, you allow discussion of products you dont sell .

• What is your favorite brand we carry?

Meguiar's (not because they are the best but because most there products work well and are relatively cheap, also most there stuff is easy to use)

Microfiber madness (incredamitt/pad/sponge), or a um shall we say a new blackfire microfiber wash pad that looks very very similar.

I will edit this later nothing is popping into my head now but I will find something

• When detailing, which step in the process do you enjoy the most?

• Why do you pick the Autopia Store over other stores for your detailing supplies?

Because of this forum, I feel like as long as the price is in the same ball park I would rather give the sale to the people that pay for and run this forum.

• Do you prefer a Dual Action Polisher or Rotary Polisher?

D.A. by default as I have never used a Rotary

• What is your favorite type of Autopia Sale? (Coupon Code, Products Marked Down, Free Shipping, Free Gifts, etc)

Coupon Code with free or Flat rate shipping

• Would you enjoy seeing more reviews by detailers?

I will take a review from anyone, you can still gleam information from a nood review. For us newer folk we can find out if a products pretty much idiot proof to use, and for the pro's you can find out the same so you know if you can recommended that product to your clients to use in between details. Some products need very good technique and have steep learning curves and should be left to the very experienced hands and not recommended to a friend or client thats just your avg wash and wax person.

• What kind of reviews do you enjoy the most? (Individual product reviews, comparison reviews, long term reviews, etc)

In order favorite first, Comparison (nothing like seeing products used on one car so you know they have seen the same conditions), Long term (durability test are value test), Individual product (while they are nice they are the ones you really need to know the reviewers credentials so you know which ones to take with a grain of salt)
