well that's cool! But where do we find those? Local auto parts stores here in the land of Oz have ultra black and the right stuff. But this Optimum line I have NEVER seen.

Honestly I wish I could tell you, it's been a few years since I left there. I used to work with the Australian team to bring them the new innovation so I'm surprised they are not available yet. I'll shoot a note to one of my friends there and ask if they're being shipped to Australia (another division of the parent company used to manage Australia for us).
