Detailing supplies in Canada

I was just looking at getting some pinnacle stuff (clay bar kit) and need sealant as well. I checked out autogeek but the shipping to Canada is pretty rough.

Does anyone in Canada use a certain site, or am I pretty much stuck paying the pricey shipping like everything else I buy

eshine.ca is where I get all my stuff. Decent prices and free shipping on orders over $150. Usually do one big order a year, ships for free so I save $$ in the long run.

Looks like I'm going to check out eShine!

Thanks as usual guys, big help.


Edit:

I see a lot of stuff is not in stock. Does anyone have any experience with the Recardo Clay bar/ lubricant?

Anyone know if they do a "spring cleaning" discount? Like around this time of year some detailing shops offer 5-15% off over a weekend or something. Has eshine done it in the past? Any word of them doing this year if so?

Recardo clay is some pretty good stuff.

Check out nanoskin clay alternatives. No worries about dropping it and lasts much longer.

I'll also begin to sell a paint sealant called Americana Car Care Ameriseal. It's a good looking sealant that will last 3-5 months of protection.

Read about it here.

Awesome I'll check it out.

Currently ready to polish my car, have it pulled in th garage and going to use Chemical Guys M-Seal Micro Finish Factory Paint Sealant after supper.

Been a long day of wash, de iron, clay bar and lots of rinse and dry.

After spending this much time up close with my car I can say one thing...



Puck Canadian winters. So many damn paint chips.

I'd consider it for the front bumper but you're a long drive away.
