Default Meguiars on sale

Went to the local Wal-Mart to get some Meguiars waterless wash & wax and discovered that, Instant detailer, and Ultimate wash & wax were on sale for $3 each. Don't know if this regional or not. Stock up while you have the chance.

That’s a really good price. Will have to check at our local WalMart.

Thanks. I will check my Walmart tomorrow. And I thought 8 bucks and free shipping from Amazon was a good deal. Now that my wife uses waterless on her car I need to stock up.

Must be a regional sale. It’s $8 at my local Walmart - - they do have a separate special display for the products though.

Good price for Meguiar's, and pretty good products. However, just a friendly tip: The Meguiar's Professional Detailer line of products is of higher quality, and is a much better value. If you guys clean your cars often, this is the way to go. For example, the Meguiar's D155 Last Touch detail spray is just over $20 per gallon at online detailing vendor sites.

For waterless wash needs, you guys MUST buy a 16oz bottle of Wolfgang "Uber Rinseless Wash" concentrate. It is just $20 for the bottle, and you dilute it with water for different uses. For a very slick and glossy waterless wash spray, you just add 1/3oz to 16oz of water! Guys, that is literally 6 gallons of waterless wash solution for $20. Read the reviews online. The stuff is amazing.

You guys buy what you like. Just offering some advice on better quality products that will save you a LOT of money, too!

I don't use detail spray anymore. It's just as easy to wash the car without water with Waterless Wash and Wax. Takes 10 minutes. You can tell how clean the paint gets by how clean the windows get. It also leaves a great shine that beads water really well. There are always "better" products out there, but I like the cost, ease, speed and results of Meguiers WWW.

No worries! Whatever works best for you! Just thought recommending a high-quality product at a fraction of the cost of a shelf-grade product would be a good idea. 6 gallons of amazing waterless wash for $20 works best for me, especially since I have multiple vehicles to clean. I go through a lot of it. I even swapped out the detail spray in my car show trunk bag for a bottle of strong-dilution waterless wash. I found that it has a much lower chance of streaking or hazing when I use it on the hot paint and hot windows when in the sun at shows. I save all my detail sprays and spray waxes for use in my cool garage now. Waterless wash products are the best!

I thought it might be. Purging the excess inventory I suppose. You don't have winter down there on the Alabama Gulf Coast, whereas up here there is not much call for car care products when the snow is 2 ft deep and the thermometer is below zero, like it will be in the not too distant future.
