So - we all know CG is related to Warner Chemicals. Who else are they related to? Well, it's been brought up that P&B manufacturing is one and the same (now called Insta Finish) or something of that sort. More searches yield Kem-O-Pro, which in addition to car care products, produces synthetic motor oil of all things. Another is JB Chemical Co, Inc. And last but not least, is carwashchemicals.com which takes you directly to detailingsupplies.net (aka CG).
What strikes me as odd is how they price the same products - most of the products are cheaper (some by a good amount) on the CG website compared to warner/insta finish. The websites all talk about private relabeling and reverse engineering of products too. I wonder if even private labelers who "custom" formulate their products really are doing much formulating. How much can a polish differ if I bought it under the poorboys label vs the cg label?

Good to know as I deal with insta finish already. Word to the wise, the citri-sol is not to be used on vinyl. it will blush it.
