Leading Automotive Lifestyle Brand Chemical Guys Expands DTC Presence Via International eCommerce

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Chemical Guys, the leading lifestyle brand for automotive detailing enthusiasts and professionals, takes a major step in going global, launching the brand's first international website to meet the growing needs of UK-based customers and detailing fans. To help with the recent launch, Chemical Guys partnered with Scalefast, a Los Angeles-based digital commerce solution that is changing the way modern brands do direct-to-consumer e-commerce. Scalefast will serve as the merchant of record to run the front end of the site.

The UK site offers customers a curated list of fan favorite products, kits, accessories, and branded merchandise, such as the best-selling HydroSlick Ceramic Coating HyperWax, which can now be purchased and shipped within the UK. Shipping to other countries in the European Union is expected for early 2022.

"Chemical Guys growth and success was kickstarted by the fact that it was one of the first digitally native brands in the automotive detailing industry," says John Mansfield, Chemical Guys Chief Revenue Officer. "Today we are a true omnichannel brand and launching direct eCommerce in the UK, along with other key international markets where we have strong distribution and an existing fan base, is an exciting next step as part of our commitment to interconnected retail."

"Chemicalguys.com has had tremendous success focusing on our customers' web experience while also providing them a personalized product assortment," says Andrew Perez, Chemical Guys eCommerce Manager. "Working with Scalefast has allowed us to replicate that experience while also going to market at an accelerated rate. With Scalefast's help, we look forward to expanding our UK site's features and providing the personalized experience our UK customers expect from a premium auto detailing brand."

Chemical Guys has seen a growing interest over the years in premium detailing products from UK auto enthusiasts, made evident by the successful 2019 opening of its first international Detail Garage, Chemical Guys' brick and mortar retail concept, in Preston, England. Detail Garage currently has 70+ locations throughout the US and Canada, amassing a large customer base and is best known for its hands-on customer experience through education and community events such as monthly Rides & Coffee gatherings.

With plans to expand e-commerce platforms in Australia and Canada on the radar for next year, Chemical Guys will work with Scalefast to spearhead the launch of additional international sites in these countries.

"The Scalefast team is thrilled to assist Chemical Guys' international expansion of their direct-to-consumer capabilities," says Scalefast Chief Revenue Officer Nicolas Chaumartin. "We are looking forward to fueling their growth wherever they need to reach their passionate fan base."
