I have been watching the TV show, "What's In Autogeek's Garage" for a few weeks now, and they have never mentioned Zaino or Rejex car waxes. All the guy pushes is Meguiars waxes and car washes. A couple of times he has mentioned Pinnacle. But I have never seen or heard anything from Zaino or Rejex. Why is that?

I don't think they sell Zaino, not sure about Rejex. I'm sure the are sponsored by Maguiars?

Autogeek advertizing Zaino would be like NBC advertizing a CBS show, ain't gonna happen.

Maybe so then, but I just bought a bottle of Rejex from them off of this board and they have never mentioned Rejex. Why is that? I thought they had their own brands of wax. I didn't know they were just an outlet for everyone else's waxes. I guess I was wrong about that.

The same reason Chip Fooses show pushes Mothers products. Sponsorship.

True. But then again, Chip Foose isn't a wax saleman. He rebuilds cars. I have never seen him push West Coast Car Shop's rebuilds. I thought I heard them say on this show a few weeks ago that the host had developed several waxes and I thought they had products (like Rejex) that were their own. I guess I was mistaken. Sorry. My mistake.........

$$$ Compare the advertising/promotion budget of Meguiars to Zaino or Rejex. If you're a TV program dependent on advertising whose product would you mention?

I realize this now. I thought Autogeek made their own waxes and car products. I didn't realize they only sold other people's supplies. Thanks.

the 'guy', Mike Phillips, usually uses a different product line on each show - Meguiars/Pinnacle/Wolfgang.

Not relevant but interesting...Meguiars was bought out by a little company called 3M a while back...must have made Barry a very rich guy.
