Congrats to the PBMA family on the acquisition.

Now I will feed the fire in hopes of seeing HD products being sold by PBMA.

Bob--as far as I know certain members were banned by a previous owner of Autopia.org and have been welcomed back for some time now since 3D owned the site.

It really is a pleasant site--no drama, no trash talking of AG and AF (that I've seen) and very helpful pros willing to share their knowledge.

I sure hope it's true. Now on Autopia.org if you know a good source of MF Towels or if someone has a sale on polishers or a good source in general for products you can post it even if they are not a sponsor with no fear of retribution. I guess time will tell if it remains truely "Open"

I would love if they would carry at least the HD line. They are top notch paint products especially.

True...
But there are certain of those Autopia.org members that are currently banned from AGO.
Will PBMG's Welcome Wagon Committee come a-knocking on their doors?
