Just in time for the holiday shopping season we’ve released a few new features that we hope will make shopping with us faster and easier.

Wishlists

Wishlists are a great way to organize a list of products that you’re interested in buying in the future. It’s simple to add products to your list, edit your list, and share your list with friends and family.

After logging in to your account, you’ll notice that product pages now have a “Add to Wishlist” button below the “Add to Cart” button.

Click that button to add an item to your wishlist. You can then follow the link from the confirmation popup over to your wishlist, or visit your My Account page to view, edit, and share your wishlist.

If you were using Saved Carts as a wishlist, you can still continue to do that. Both Wishlists and Saved Carts have their benefits in different situations. This FAQ page outlines the similarities and differences between them.

Easy Reordering

Want to buy something that you’ve previously purchased from us? We’ve made reordering much quicker and simpler in a couple of different ways.

All of your previous orders are now listed at the top of your My Account page with “Reorder” buttons next to each product. Clicking that button will add that product to your cart without having to visit the product page.

Further down on your My Account page you’ll also notice a new “Buy It Again” section with products you’ve purchased frequently, along with a link over to your own personalized reorder page that includes everything you’ve ever ordered from us!

Personalized Product Recommendations

Similarly, we’ve added a “Recommended For You” section to your My Account page along with an entire page of personalized recommendations. These are based upon the products that you’ve previously purchased with us. For instance, if you bought a 22ple coating but didn’t buy an applicator, there’s a good chance that we’ll recommend a 22ple applicator pad. We also look at what other customers who purchased your products have bought to potentially bring to light some new and interesting products that you might not have previously discovered.

We hope that these new features make shopping with us a little more enjoyable. If you have any questions, feedback, or other comments we’d love to hear from you. You can contact us using our contact form or reach out to us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

Today we released several improvements to our shopping pages that make it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for, whether you’re shopping on your desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone.

Best Sellers

Our best selling items now have a Best Seller badge on brand pages, category pages, search results pages, and on the product pages themselves. These badges make it easy to identify our most popular products without needing to visit our Best Sellers page.

Better Filtering

When you’re shopping by category or by brand, there are often a lot of products to choose from. Our filters on the left navigation (or above the products on mobile), now stay in place after being selected. This is not only much faster, it’s also more powerful, giving you the ability to see how many products are available within the other choices for the filter. For example, if you’re looking for carnauba waxes, you can see how many are available for each manufacturer and easily toggle between manufacturers:

We’ve also added the ability to filter by size, which can be incredibly helpful when browsing certain types of products. For instance, it’s now easy to view all 4″ Lake Country Foam Pads:

Filters can take up a lot of space on the page, so we added the ability to collapse the Filter Results by clicking the text or the +/- icons:

Sorting

In conjunction with filtering, we’ve added the ability to sort products. Our Default option bumps sale items, new items, and popular items towards the top of the page, but you can also sort by Price – Low to High, Price – High to Low, Best Selling, and Newest:

Sorting is available on search results pages in addition to brand and category pages. If you’re looking for our best selling gallons, you can now search “gallon” and sort by Best Selling.

More Products, Less Scrolling

It can sometimes be difficult to fit product information on to a small phone screen. We’ve improved our mobile view on these pages to now show two columns of products for most mobile phones:

Feedback

If you have any questions or feedback on these improvements, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email or reach out on social media!

We are scheduled to have a short period of downtime between 7:00 AM ET to 8:00 AM ET on 8/15/2015 to perform scheduled maintenance to our site. During that time you can check our Twitter and Facebook pages for updates. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact us.

From yesterday, Saturday 8/16, around 11:30 AM ET to today around 1:15 PM ET our automated email system was not working properly. Emails such as order confirmations and Daily Special newsletters were not delivered promptly as they normally are. These issues have been resolved and you should be receiving all of your delayed emails shortly. We apologize for the issue and are working to ensure that this does not happen in the future. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Yesterday we were extremely excited to unveil our new DetailedImage.com website. Our goal is to provide you with the simplest, fastest, and most secure shopping experience in the industry. Let’s take a look at what’s new:

The Design

We’ve kept the important functionality where it’s familiar – navigation on the left, search box up top, My Account and Cart information in the header – while also introducing elements of modern web design. We hope that this balance allows you to find exactly the products and information you’re looking for quickly and easily.

One Site – All of Your Devices

We utilized a fairly new web design technique called responsive web design to ensure that the new Detailed Image works great on your large monitor, your laptop, your tablet, your phone, and any other device you use.

Better Search Engines

Now when you search the Detailing Guide or Ask a Pro Blog you’ll get the same fast search that you’ve come to love from our product search, including helpful autocomplete suggestions to help ensure you find what you’re looking for the very first search.

New Product Photos

We built a new photo booth at our warehouse and re-shot every one of our 800+ products to provide you with better looking product photos. When applicable, we took multiple photos so you can see everything you need to make an informed decision.

Product Labels and Downloads

Many products now have a “From The Label” section that includes information and instructions right from the label so you can feel as comfortable buying online as you would if you picked up the bottle in a store. We also added a “Product Downloads” section where you can download instruction manuals for tools like buffers, vacuums, and flashlights.

Verified Product Reviews

With over 4,000 product reviews on our site and growing fast, it can be difficult sometimes to determine which reviews to trust. To help, we added a “DI Verified Purchase” badge to any review where we can verify that the reviewer purchased the product being reviewed directly from Detailed Image. Knowing that someone actually purchased the product adds an extra sense of credibility to their opinion.

More Free Stuff

If our Weekly Special has taught us anything it’s that you love free stuff! We’ve decided to expand upon the Weekly Special and create an entire Free Stuff page that’s filled with free offers that you can receive every single day. Free offers range from popular products like our All Purpose Towel (free with a coupon on any purchase over $9) to a complete clay bar and lube kit (free over $69).

No More Weight Limit!

Instead of forcing you to place multiple orders when you have more than 60 lbs in products, our system now intelligently splits your order up into multiple boxes automatically so you can fit as many products as you like into one single order!

And More…

• Speed improvements – we’ve optimized the new DI to be blazing fast no matter what device you’re using.
• Newsletter available to everyone – even if you’re not a registered user, you can still sign up for our newsletter to be alerted of our sales by filling out the form at the bottom of any page.
• A more streamlined checkout process – we’ve redesigned our checkout process to make it simpler and faster to checkout without missing any critical information about your order.
• All Deals – we’ve created an “All Deals” page found at DetailedImage.com/Deals that lists out all of the current site-wide promotions we’re running. A great resource to bookmark and visit regularly!
