Just curious if anyone else is in the area and where do you buy detailing supplies from? I'm in the southwest suburbs and usually just have to go to the regular auto stores or Wally World. Just wondering if anyone has found a good place to get their stuff. Always good to have a backup in a pinch if you have to wait for shipping.

I'm in Woodridge and have been buying online for many years now, the only thing I'd buy at the autoparts store now is a decent wheel cleaner or air freshner, everything else is pretty pedestrian IMO. If you take advantage of the free shipping you usually have enough to tie you over for the rest of the detailing season.

Aurora here. Your best bet would be online for good products like everyone said above me.

I'm in Mokena and usually buy my stuff online now as well. I'll still buy some OTC stuff from wally world or auto parts stores if I only need one thing in particular.

Carol Stream here. I usually buy most of my stuff here or from Meijer and Autozone.

Aurora here. I buy the bulk of my stuff here, but if I need some Meg's gold class or similar I grab it from wally world or where ever I happen to be. Also Advance Auto has started carrying some of the Griot's line.

I know Fox Valley Motorcars on East Ogden was a Griot's dealer as about two years ago.

I'm not sure if they are anymore. Last time I was there was about 2 years ago, and they didn't have a whole lot to choose from.

Thanks for the responses guys. I guess I was just curious if anyone had a secret spot that was a retailer for some of this stuff. No biggie, thanks again

Some Wal Marts are starting to carry the more professional lines of Meguiar's products. I know you can find a list of locations on the Meguiar's website but I don't have a link...sorry.

Live in Lemont myself.
