You won't be able to find these products in your Kragen stores. I am the only authorized distributor in the bay area. 
Closest one is in Morgan Hill and the other is in Monterey. Since I am mobile, I am like a mobile store. 
I frequent east bay. I'll be in Speed Element *EDIT* Saturday *EDIT* to detail a ride (11-3PM) and you can meet me there. Or one of the local meets, like UCKK or Wing Stop, or let me know when you are available and we can meet halfway between San Leandro and Dublin/Pleasanton after 3PM. Or maybe I'll just have dinner with my wife in Pleasanton.
Go ahead and place the order from my website so you can pay using PayPal or CC, or tell me what you want and I'll bring them when we meet and you can pay by cash. LMK!

Thanks man! That's the least I can do. I believe good customer service carries a LOOOONG way, even if the customer decides not to buy the product or service. It's an honor when people come and ask ME for my opinion in things. That mean people value what I have to say, I am glad that I can help.

haha... I see... Just for you, I'll bring my entire line of product with me and we can talk more Friday. Then at the end of the night you can decide what you want. I'll see you then! (BTW, what time do you plan on being there, just so i know. )

the problem is i don't know what i want. i am probably still going to wash my car at the gas station with the drive through since it is the most convenient for a daily driver. i just want to go home later on and give it a shine with something simple that won't take multiple applications and buffing and so on. just something simple for detailing to bring out the shine.

Don't forget to bring your camera so I can possibly give you a couple of pointers for your before and after picture taking. I know a couple of tricks that will help you since I used to do product photography.

Sounds like you have oxidation and/or swirls/spider webs...
If you have a polisher/buffer like PC, use the following:
If not, use the following:
Depending on the severity of the paint, you might have to use Swirl & Haze more than one pass with a heavier pad (if you have it). Or mix Revive Polish with Swirl & Haze 2:1 for medium severity, or if no oxidation, just need some good lovin'
, Revive alone would do it.

oh no no no... no pressure at all... I'll be there for the wings man , don't worry. I had the Atomic one last time and that didn't taste so good. I want to try something else. 
Really, I am a consumer too... If the product is not to my liking, I won't buy. I rather you buy it, be happy with it, and tell all your friends about it, than buy it, hate it, and tell your friends how crappy the product is. I believe a vendor like me needs the customers more than they need me. (there is alway alternative options ) So please, only buy because you are happy with it and like it. I don't want to "SELL" you the products, I am just here to "INTRODUCE" you the products.

Leo, you are a good pressure salesman. I will feel bad if I don't buy something, so therefore, I will. Thanks man.
