Dylan06SS Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 DER is a product I've repeatedly recommended over the years... I even have a wrietup here on the site on the best practices for using it which a lot of members have used with great success. Sadly yesterday I learned that DER is closing up shop... its sad to see them go b/c I've been a fan of theirs going on 10 years now. Figured I'd just give you guys who are using it a heads up that you might want to make the most of the supply you have left. I am on a mission to find a similar product that performs as well for the average do it yourself weekend detail by hand. I do have some of their stuff in my supply cabinet still so if anyone is really hard up for a little bit I can maybe portion some of it out. I have also sent Dave (the owner) a letter expressing an interest in buying his formula and info about his raw material suppliers so that I can maybe continue producing it... we'll see how that goes. In any event those of you who followed my advice and started using DER are, I'm sure, as disappointed by this as I am b/c it really is a great product. I'll keep you posted.

kaotik1 Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Wow that is crazy. Was there a reason for closing up? They seem to have a pretty good following, and the product is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dave is just ready to retire... keep your fingers crossed hes interested in a buyout... if I can take it over for a reasonable price I'll rebrand it and take it in a new direction. I've already got a call into my bank to check on a small business loan rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you keep the red plugs in under the lids? The squirt tops are not air tight so if you don't replace the red plugs after use it will dry out.
