Default car brite

I have been detailing for over 4 years now and I used to be a firm believer in car brite products. A lot of detail shops around me used only car brite. And since i've had my s2000 the detail section has NO talk about car brite . now i've used swissvax, zymol, zaino, all of the products spoken of on this site and i think they are very good as well.

My question basically is, does anyone else use car brite products like me? I feel like im alone Their product line is so large and they specialize in almost every area of detailing and restoration. Im surprised i dont see much of it being used? Is it just because it isnt easily accesible like meguiars and other products like that?

About... over 5 years ago, a friend, who worked for the detail shop at the dealer gave me an 8 oz bottle of some kind of Carbrite polish glaze in blue color. This stuff worked excellence. Clean most of light scratches just by hand. I tried to buy more but didnt know where to get them. If there is a dealer to carry them that it's easier to get, I will definitely try them again.

Looking at their website the products look to be targeted at professional detailers, body shops, car washes, and dealerships. Most of the products you hear about on here and on most of the detailing forums are products targeted at detailing enthusiasts. Even though there are a lot of professional detailers that post on here and on the detailing forums many of them are small scale operations so they still use enthusiast type products.

Do you know how to get them?

Thanks,

A friend in town that owns detailing business uses some Carbrite products. I think they are cheap in large quantity for them. If you do as many cars as they do it is expensive to use all top shelf products all the time.

Yes, I have a distributor locally here. When I used to work for a dealer for carbrite I worked with this fellow and he still lets me purchase in individual quantities so i dont have to buy a 55 gallon barrel of tire dressing lol. If you want some products let me know, ill go get ya a price on different sizes of the product.

www.carbrite.com

anything off of that website i can purchase locally. as you know already know, you'll be impressed with the results. im gonna put up a product review on one of their waxes hopefully today if it heats up today, its supposed to be REALLY windy I want to share carbrite with all s2000 owners!
