I have been reading in many different forums about “re-labeling” of products, and there is always somebody who knows somebody (usually a "confidential" source), who is sure that ABC is making this and that for XYZ.
First thing is does it really make a difference who makes what for who.
Does anyone really think that all of these people are actually making their own products in their private factories…get real.
I have worked in industries where I supplied manufacturers that did private labeling, and in ones where items were privately labeled for us, and I can say that they are NOT always the same thing as the manufacturer puts out in their own name. Are they and can they be similar…sure, but not the same.
When you go to Sears and buy a Craftsman tool or a Kenmore washer, refrigerator, air conditioner, etc…
Do you actually think that it is made by Sears? It’s being made by another company to Sears specifications.
So what would make the car care industry any different? A product will be made to the customers specifications.
Would the manufacturer ever say who they are making for. No, that’s bad business.
Would the manufacturer ever divulge what the specific formula is? No, because that could lead to a law suit.
I guess what I am saying is:
If you like the product, use it.
If you like the person who sells it, use it.
If you like the product and you like the person who sells it, double bonus!
Many of the similar products (swirl removers, sealants, glazes…) are pretty close in price so pick the product you like, and lets stop picking on the person who has their name on the bottle.
Thanks for listening
