In SoCal you can get staff locally from Chemical Guys and Excel Detail.

I get my goodies from my wife

I get most of my detailing supplies from DetailersDomain and autodetailingsolutions.

We all get stuff from DD, but I think he was also asking for local stores.

I'm lucky to have Majestic Solutions - a local place that makes many of their own chemicals - right down the road from me. They keep Edge pads in stock too, and for most things like that, are well priced.

I bought my Makita rotary on Amazon.com. I always check amazon.com first before making a large-ish purchase, and I usually find they have great prices and super fast shipping.

For LSP, the last stuff I bought was from Ben at Rubbish Boy's. He's in England, and AFAIK he's the only guy you can get Rubbish Boy's Original Edition from. Shipping takes about a week.

For pretty much everything else, Phil at Detailer's Domain gets my vote. Great service and prices, super fast shipping, and I know that anything I buy from him is going to work well. His e-store is also very well laid out, it's easy to find what you're looking for on it.

	LSP Last Step Product, meaning protection either wax or sealant.

As far as a local store, an auto paint and body supply store will often stock Meguiar's and 3M stuff. That's where I usually buy mine.
