I'm very interested to see how this project goes. I am a great believer in competition (especially if it keeps the prices keen 
)
It has always puzzled me to see how little support the really good detailing lines get from the motor spares/accessories retailing outlets.
If you just take Meguiars as an example, the only big retailers who stock this brand are BW and Makro. Game say they do.....but they don't!
AutoZone don't, nor do Midas.
AutoGlym used to be available from the AA but to my knowledge they are phasing this out and the only other place which stocks it is a lonely little shop in Long Street and some Autoquip outlets.
Unfortunately the thing you will always battle is that 99.9% of car owners will use Rally and Shield products which they can buy from Pick n Pay while they do their weekly shopping.
