Selecting the Right Product

The first step towards a professional finish is selecting the right product. Dr. Detail offers only quality professional products which anyone can use. What's the difference between a professional product and those (consumer-grade) you find on the shelf at your local discount parts house? Simple! The products on the shelf are designed to appeal to the mass market, most of who have no idea what they are doing. They are formulated to keep some typical accountant from getting into trouble by using an improperly selected item. They are also formulated to be in a similar price bracket as all the other brands placed next them. As much quality is retained as possible but let's be honest they can't compare to professional products.

Professional products are formulated for the individual, who makes a living making paint shine. Quality is the primary concern and price falls where it must. It's quite simple really; you get what you pay for. The end result is that the pro can rely on the product to not let him down and just concentrate on his own skill.

Can an average person use a professional product? Sure! Just pay attention to sound selection principles!

Here at Dr. Detail we primarily offer select Meguiars and 3M products for your use.

Meguiar's featured product lines include: 

  1. Consumer grade - Meguiar's familiar red bottles that contain tame products used by John Q. Car Cleaner. Most of these products are readily available on the local corner and not offered here.
  2. Professional grade - Mirror Glaze is a no-nonsense quality product
  3. Detailer grade - the detailer line concentrates on dilutability and economy
  4. Body Shop grade - A subsection of Mirror Glaze designed for fresh paints
  5. An obscure line of furniture products (where Meguiar's began life in 1901)
  6. Boat and RV products for fiberglass gel coats

Our line of 3M products include:

  1. Perfect-It and Finesse-It lines of Compounds and Glazes designed for fresh paint
  2. A detailing line paralleling Meguairs' Mirror Glaze
