Why Meguiar’s Still Dominates Shelf Space—but Not the Detailing Game
Walk into any auto parts store in 2025, and you'll still find Meguiar’s products lining the shelves. They’ve been there for decades. But in the garages of pro detailers and serious DIYers? Jimbo’s Detailing is quietly taking over—and for good reason.
The Power of Shelf Presence
Meguiar’s has brand power. Its packaging is polished. It’s trusted. And it’s accessible. Here’s what they do extremely well:
- Mass retail distribution—found everywhere
- Legacy trust from generations of car owners
- Widespread brand recognition and nostalgia
But shelf space isn’t performance. And in an era of faster workflows and smarter products, nostalgia isn’t enough.
Where Jimbo’s Detailing Wins
Jimbo’s Detailing isn’t trying to dominate store shelves. It’s built for results—not retail drama. Here’s why more pros are switching:
- Tough As Shell: Real ceramic coating performance in a sprayable formula
- Complete Cabin Cleaner: One interior spray for all surfaces—matte, streak-free, safe on screens
- The Super Soaper: A foam pre-wash that saves time and prevents swirls
No overlap. No confusion. Just products that work—and fast.
