McKee's 37 Product Support
Re: Autopia
Autogeek.net and Autopia-CarCare.com are under the same corporate umbrella, Palm Beach Motoring Group (PBMG).
Think Buick and Chevrolet, two separate divisions both owned by General Motors.
Autopia-CarCare.com has their own forum, AutopiaForums.com, that is ran by Todd Helme who is also the main man for the Blackfire line of car care products.
Over at Autopia-CarCare.com you will find exclusive product lines not available at Autogeek.net, such as Chemical Guys and a couple others.

Re: Autopia
The whole autopia thing has me confused. If PBMG owns Autopia-Carecare than why is the old autopia forum still active (although it's pretty dried up these days)?

As I understand it, the original owners (the Davids) ended up splitting into two separate entities: the web site (.org) and then autopia-car care retailing operation that sold the sonus, ultima lines, etc.
The web site ended up with one owner and eventually PBMG purchased the Autopia car care store (name and all) so you ended up with two companies having rights to the autopia name. PBMG decided to rename Detail City to Autopiaforums when it started to actively manage it.

order away , they carry some unique lines and offer the same great service. Todd Helmes is over there as needed, and we have Mike Phillips here.

Re: Autopia
I got some Chemical Guys Wash that I could not get at Autogeek. But knowing they were the same company I knew I would be getting good service.

Re: Autopia
Have you noticed Todd's review of the new Blackfire Wet Diamond Waterless Wash? Watch out Ultima...
In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.
