This review is in response to the documented information on this page which is believed to be defamatory social media posts and continued harassment by Jon Garrett of Paint Pros LLC and Shiny Car Stuff. These apparent continuous allegations against the owners of Dvelup International have persisted for over a year after the dissolution of product supply to Paint Pros. Dvelup is a manufacturer of various auto reconditioning products and was the formulator and supplier of Diamond Clear to Paint Pros LLC. This review suggests Jon Garrett demanded access to proprietary information regarding the raw materials of Diamond Clear. The owners of Dvelup believe that Garrett's main objective was to get the formula for Diamond Clear in an attempt to reformulate it himself.
This review will express much more than an opinion but displays proof that appear to uncover the true character of Jon Garrett, the Paint Pros online seller of Shiny Car Stuff.
(This page will be continually updated as more information comes to light.)

Review of Jon Garrett's Toll Blending Claim (shinycarstuff.com owner)
Facebook Member: …Being private label doesn't help….
Jon Garrett: It's a toll blend… not a private label… I came up with DC formula and they can't touch it.
Statement from Manufacturer:
We had a Private Label agreement with Mr. Garrett for mixtures of our proprietary products based on his use in the field. Even though Paint Pros had a unique mix this was not a Toll Blend Agreement in which the customer provides their own formula or any of the ingredients.
Toll Manufacturing Definition:
Toll manufacturing, also known as toll processing, is a type of contract manufacturing where the customer provides the raw materials, formulas, and specifications to the manufacturer, who then processes them into finished or semi-finished products. The manufacturer charges a fee, or a toll, for the service, but does not own the materials or the products. The customer retains full ownership and control over the intellectual property, quality standards, and distribution channels.
Paintpros3.com Assessment:
If Jon Garrett owns the formula, why not immediately process more DC for businesses dependent on DC? However, evidence points to Dvelup offering free bottles to Businesses reliant on Diamond Clear.

Truth, lies or both.
YOU DECIDE
Statement by Manufacturer: "Jon Garrett never provided any ingredients or formulas for our company to toll blend. We produced and sold to him / Paint Pros product with formulas already existing within our company."
Paintpros3.com Assessment:
Evidence seems to show that Jon Garrett made false claims that he was an owner of the manufacturing company. If that was the case, why would he need the manufacturer as a toll blender or even to private label? He would produce the product himself as the manufacturer.

The following is an opinion based documentation and evidence compiled. Jon Garrett / Paint Pros History: Jon Garrett owner of Paint Pros llc is a business presently located at 10980 Green Apple Rd, Miamisburg, OH 45342. Paint Pros llc services auto dealerships. Jon Garret learned the business while employed with Front Lines Services which utilized Dvelup’s scratch repair coatings. Jon Garrett approached Dvelup to acquire private labeling services under Paint Pros llc. Dvelup offered a low-cost startup to give Jon Garrett a chance. The private label brand would be called Diamond Clear and sold online at www.vehiclepaintpros.com. Paint Pros received unparalleled support that is unheard of in any industry and incurred financial losses by Dvelup. Jon Garret posted application videos on social media sites under accounts such as paintpros3, Paint Pros llc, Paint Pros, and vehiclepaintpros. These may be found by search @paintpros3, Paint Pros llc, Paint Pros, and vehiclepaintpros. Jon Garrett / Paint Pros llc is also operating the account shinycarstuff selling the product Shiny Car Stuff at shinycarstuff.com which violates his non-compete contract with Dvelup. Ironically he sued a former employee for breaking their non-compete agreement under Paint Pros llc. Paint Pros Llc / Jon garret began marketing Shiny Car Stuff within weeks of losing rights to Diamond Clear. It is apparent that Jon Garrett has no chemistry background for formulating a coating and did no testing to ensure vehicles would not be damaged after time in the elements.
There are several scam websites vehiclepaintprosofficial.com vehiclepaintpros.us. shinycarstuffs.com and shinycarstuffllc.com used to steal people's money. A few of these have been running for a couple of years with no legal action from Jon Garret at Paint Pros or Shiny Car Stuff
