Wow, I thought I would try than Shinny Wax. I purchased way back in September, they said they were behind on it. I am just giving a heads up since it's going on to 2 months now..in the world of instant Amazon satisfaction shopping I may be a bit jaded, but damn this is kinda ridiculous. I would say exercise caution when ordering from them and call or email to make sure product is even available. My season over so I guess it does not matter in the larger scheme of things, but frustrating nonetheless.

I wanted to get some as well, but passed when I saw they were going to charge me $16 for shipping on a $20 bottle of spray wax. Fuuuuuuqq that. I will keep using the gazillion products I already have. Hell, I still have crap I bought a year ago that I haven't used yet. I need intervention.

They always have their best sales Black Friday thru Holidays. The Holy Grail of the season is when they do gift certificate sales, a VERY rare occurence, maybe once or twice a holiday season.

buy a $500 gift cert at 25% off, use it to pay for items at later 25% off sale, 'stacking' the discounts.

sign up for newsletter at bottom of Autopia & Autogeek home pages as sometimes they have newsletter-only announced sales.

Also, since Gift Certs spend just like cash, if you wanna discount on items usually excluded from a sale, only way to get a discount on things that never go on sale like Rupes Polishers/kits, individual polisher units. When ya buy a gift cert for 25% off there are no exclusions as to what you spend it on.

I hate to say it, but I sent them an email and no response at all, I think I have to just file to get my money back and move on. Maybe they are having business problems I dunno, a little disappointed.
