Aredex Products (philly represent)

+1, he was just trying to help though.

 

no problem steve. i give credit when credit is due and i must say i am pleased with most ardex products that i use. i work at the Thompson Detail Center (my monday-friday gig) in Doylestown for reference.

glad to see you made it onto the forums here.

:applause:Well said.

 

Like pektel said, this is a forum of very knowledgeable and experienced detailers who have used a very wide range of products, so it's a comparison against stiff competition, and as far as clay some of us have used European clay which is superior, especially in the ease of use category.

If possible, put up some sort of pricing on your website. I guarantee you if it gets a good review on here, people are going to start buying it, and then it will get even more publicity and you are looking at a lot more money. I, for one, am interested in some of your products just because of Billy's review, and interested in buying them if you can set up a pricing system and online store or something like that.

 

The detail center I work at uses many Ardex branded products. I can't say I'm disappointed or impressed, but obviously you won't find a compound or polishes comparable with m105 or SIP. Just seems like another product line that provides the same basic detailing supplies comparable by the other hundreds of detail lines out there. I look at Ardex as a use for body shops, small detail centers that demand quantity/speed instead of quality, they are pretty basic detail products.

 

It's funny, hadn't really heard about Ardex until this thread was started - but then just this week a local guy from one of the MB forums mentioned trying their leather cleaner/conditioner and saying it was the best he'd ever used (albeit in somewhat limited experience). Going to get to try it out myself in a couple weeks... :thumb:

 

Hi Steve, I understand the need to back up your products, however I'm explaining my own personal experiences with Ardex. I use it everyday, however I've also used all the basic supplies from Southern Detail Suppliers, Carbrite, Meguiars, Chemical Guys, K2, etc...most are all the same stuff. Many products companies are putting out are recycled products with different labels, and I know Chemical Guys branches out to do specificially this for companies. It's important now, especially since there are so many detailing suppliers selling the same kinds of stuff, to stand out amongst your competitors with impressive results. I have not seen the Ardex line up exceed the results of your competitors, it's merely on par.

In regards to Nano Sealant, we use a product made by Carbrite labeled as Nanowax, a supposedly high-end sealant. If your Nano Sealant turns out to be the same stuff with a new label on it, then I'm not going to be very impressed.

I'm just telling it like it is, I use Ardex everyday, so I'm experienced in how it performs. I'm neither impressed nor disappointed.

 

So how do we find out prices on your product line up ? Sample sizes would be nice.

 

How can steve promote his products so openly here without paying the corresponding sponsor prices? Seems a bit unfair for guys like Phil, Ben, Chris, Justin, Ken who pay to advertise here.

 

That's what I was thinking pektel. Commenting on his products would be walking the line but putting his contact info is clearly promotion

 

I would have to agree with both of you pektel & Dsoto87. That is why Steve's post has been deleted and a PM will follow up to Steve.
