Made in USA Products

[tmurph01]

As part of my companies mission statement, I try to only use chemicals and supplies made in America, by Americans. Will this limit me and knock some great products off the table? Yes, and I am aware of this, but I have found that even than, there are still some great products that come out of America.

I am just trying to assemble a list of companies that manufacture most of their products in the USA.

So far I have, and have been using products from:
- Chemical Guys
- Poorboy's World
- Adam's
- Mother's


Added from this thread:
- Meguirs
- Montana Boars Hair
- Son1c
- WD40
- Scott's Shop Towels


Any input to add to this list would be appreciated!

I believe all Pinnacle products are independently certified "Made in USA".

Made in USA Certification, Made in USA certified Pinnacle products (http://www.autogeek.net/made-in-usa-certified.html)

If you look in the bottom, right hand corner of the Pinnacle product page, you can see the "Made in USA" seal. I think this applies to every product, however you can independently check each individual product that you choose.

I don't know if Wolfgang, DP, and Blackfire also are Made in the USA, even though they are within the same manufacturer and parent company, PBMG. My feeling is that they are made here with ingredients sourced world-wide. I'm sure one of the customer service representatives would be more than happy to provide you with the relevant information to assist you with your purchases.

EDIT: I checked, Wolfgang is made in the United States. See second to last paragraph.
Wolfgang Concours Series Car Care, paint sealant, german car care products, wolfgang paint sealant, car wax (http://www.autogeek.net/wococarca.html)

Same with Blackfire. See third paragraph.
Blackfire Car Care Products, Midnight Sun Car Wax, black fire car wax (http://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-car-care.html)

And let's not forget DP (Detailer's Pro). See fourth paragraph (second to last).
DP American Made Car Care Products, exceptional car care, professional detailing products (http://www.autogeek.net/detailers-pride.html)

You have some great choices! Thank you for supporting USA manufacturing and US workers! Good luck with everything. Happy detailing!

As part of my companies mission statement,
I try to only use chemicals.......made in America, by Americans.
If a person only knew exactly where the chemicals for formulating Detailing,
and other Consumer products, actually came from...:(

In some cases...
The USA is often hamstrung by not even being allowed to manufacture many of them!

For one thing:
There goes any chances of having any really good Microfiber towels.

That's as far as I want to go.

Yeah,... through my own digging, I have come to this as well... It is sad, but that's the world we live in I guess...

Thanks! I truly believe this dedication to American made products and workers have helped get my name out and helped me grow this early. It has come off real well in the public eye and I have been praised on this multiple times by clients and non clients.

My two favorite polishers are made in the USA with exceptional craftsmanship and build quality. The DynaBrade Rotary with Random Orbital Head and the CYYCLO Random Orbital. I think Optimum sealants and coatings are made in USA too.

Travis, I see your logo on top at Autotopia. Do you know if 3DHD is all made in the US. I left the question for Dave to answer also.

It's actually in my business plan! Just need to familiarize myself with those products and applications more.
