The production team has been hard at work getting all the product bottled, labeled, and into boxes. Shipments have started... if you don't have tracking already you will soon!

Could be uv protection too just like why some beer comes in brown bottle instead of clear, wouldn't think it would matter that much with detail products but just a thought
 
Would rather have good quality in a cheap black container than a more expensive clear container. fancy packages do nothing for me
 
most detailing people put the product in their own bottle. I wouldnt package a pretty label and container for someone who will pour it in their own bottle anyway.

Not really honestly a price thing, and these bottles and caps actually were rather spendy compared to others we looked at.... we chose these specifically b/c we liked the look. Also, you have 2 distinct types of plastics in this business - HDPE or PET

PET is the crystal clear stuff, problem is it is not resistant to all chemical types, so you get a strong APC or cleaner in them and they become brittle, crack, leak, etc. Its also much more likely to break when dropped or knocked over. PET is pretty, but its not the best material to package care care products in.

HDPE on the other hand is chemical resistant, a little more pliable, and a lot more durable. Theres no such thing as crystal clear HDPE... the closest you get is a semi-opaque clear (referred to as natural) that looks similar to the material a gallon milk jug is made from, which I didn't think looked that good personally.

This means our bottles won't develop phantom leaks, they won't break as easily in transit, and they won't break as easily when they're dropped. The added bonus of the solid black (as mentioned) is that it keeps the products shielded from UV light, so unlike other products that will change colors on you or change scent, ours will be consistent from start to finish regardless of where or how they're stored (short of freezing or extreme heat).

I received an excellent suggestion from one of our beta testeres actually... to put a peek-a-boo window on the spine of the bottles (like what you see on quarts of oil and things) so you can see how much is remaining. We are currently looking into that and figuring out how to make it happen.

if you don't have tracking yet call us at the 866 number above... in some cases the email may have not gone thru due to typos or things with the manual orders we had to do when the site went down.
