Smart Detailing University and Meguiar's Inc. Join Forces

Oceanside, CA – April 2008 – When a world–renowned auto detailing chemical company joins forces with a first–rate auto detailing training facility, one dynamic business relationship is created. This is exactly what happened when Smart Detailing University and Meguiar's Inc. recently joined forces to offer the best of many aspects of the industry to detailers around the world.

In the winter of 2008, Mel Craig, President and Founder of Smart Detailing University, started looking to pick up an auto detailing chemical manufacturer to supply his new retail store and training facility. He wanted to acquire a topnotch line of products and chemicals that he could offer not only to retail clients, but which he could also use to train the students attending his detailing school.

Mel's dream of owning and operating his own retail store and high–end training center, along with his ongoing quest to offer the best the industry has to offer in chemicals, soon led him to the number one chemical manufacturer in the world: Meguiar's Inc. It was no surprise that Meguiar's Inc. reciprocated, opening its own doors to Smart Detailing University company and offering not only a great line of chemicals, but corporate support and brand imaging opportunities as well. President Mel Craig hit a huge home run when Meguiar's offered Smart Detailing University the support and industry stature needed to truly make a difference. With the Meguiar's brand of products, Smart Detailing University will create such a huge impact in the retailing industry that it will continue to inspire many companies to want to do business with them.

Eric Walker, Southern California Regional Sales Manager of Meguiar's Inc., stated that "Smart Detailing University recent growth in popularity created a need for a corporate vendor that could provide strong branding and industry stature, as well as a professionally marketed and merchandised line of products. Smart Detailing University is exactly what Meguiar's looks for in a top–notch company, to help expand and properly educate our industry and anyone wanting to become a part of it." The two companies, both of which set the standard for excellence within the detailing and reconditioning industry, carry a very similar message of professionalism.
