Moderators - Rules question
I've applied AG product to part of my car and I've applied non-AG product to a different part of the car and I want to start a thread about what I observe over time. The non-AG product is not available from any American retailers (at least that I can find, and I looked) so I imported it myself. Would this thread violate the forum rules? I have no stake in any product other than wanting to share experiences.

I think the answer would be "Yes" technically.
But I will let a Mod have the last word on this.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

I personally don’t see a problem with it if you don’t discuss the purchase location or hype it up like it’s soooo awesome. Anything beyond that would seem to provide good info to which half of is related to an AG product vs something else.
Note: I’m not a mod! But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express a few months ago.

Re: Moderators - Rules question
Someone just mentioned that Autopia has no such product rule. Looking through their FAQ indeed I don't see any mention of product affinity, and I haven't heard back from AG (banker's hours, eh!). I still don't understand the difference between AG and Autopia in terms of online presence but I guess I will post there about this when I do.

Yep, as long as no link to vendor, free to talk about any product on Autopia forums.
Not so here on Autogeek but since it's their forum, it's their rules...no harm, no foul.

Re: Moderators - Rules question
If the AG product is better than the non AG product, then the answer is it's OK to post. However, if the AG product is not as good than it's a no no.

This is true. When the conversation is about the Harbor Freight DA polisher, we’re told to go to the “HF car forum.” But when something is said about it being a poor polisher, well, we can post about that all day long.

Re: Moderators - Rules question
The rules are the rules, but..... If you are actually trying to be helpful with a comparison/review, I would see no problem. But again, "Technically"...........
The problems only seem to arise when certain members feel the need to attack every single post/product/opinion that does not agree with their personal opinions, and cannot stand to just leave well enough alone.
