    Harry:



    I have ordered from them.  Interesting story: I live in a small 

Northern CA. town and the guy who took my order was from the same area. 

We talked for a short while. He was pleasant and very helpful.  I 

bought a German made map light that plugs into the cig. lighter.  WOW, 

cockpit light from above (semi), what a concept.  Mazda should put an 

integrated light into the rear view mirror! ;)

    As far as their detailing products go, I don't know.  Do you know 

who manufactures the polishes and waxes for them?  Maybe their 

detailing tools would be worth it.  I am just a hard person to convince 

about not using Meguiars.  Anyway, they are on the pricy side as Skip 

Cannon pointed out. The same light I bought from them I saw a few weeks 

later in a AAA club catalog that was $7.00 cheaper (Of course!).
