Detailing Supplies

Aside from Canadiantire and Wal-mart, is there any where else I can find detailing supplies/tools in the GTA?

What I'm looking for is a Orbital Buffer, and a possibly foam gun.

For an orbital buffer, you can find one at Home Depot. Specifically, the Porter Cable XP.

For a foam gun, a very cheap alternative would be the Dial N Spray avaialbale for $9.99 at Canadian Tire.

For all other detailing supplies, buying online is the simplest of options.

Best detailing website in Canada. It's actually just a great detailing website period.

For what it's worth, I have a foam gun and I think it's a bit of a gimmick. I used to just cover my wash mitt in suds and wring it out all over the car, it takes a minute or two to do the whole car before actually washing and works just as effectively as the foam gun in my opinion. Compared to having to set up the foam gun on the pressure washer, filling the canister, spraying, then cleaning up after - it just doesn't seem worth all the effort. Not to mention it uses a TON of soap.

Foam gun is more useful if you plan on doing anything more then a wash.

For a regular wash, I just have it filled with the cheapest soap I have kicking around.

If I'm going to wax or polish the car, I use APC as well as a little dishsoap in there.

We at JRP carry almost everything you need and only SONX made in Germany products. We also carry many tools including the best orbital in my opinion the FLEX brand. We also carry the "wind tunnel" for shamyless drying.

You can check out www.sonax.com . Plus all FT86 members get 10% off at JRP.


Thanks and hope this helps
