    Most items you can get at walmart can be found cheaper at autogeek or detailedimage online actually.

    what about the shipping costs and time wasted waiting around for them to get thru the mail, I can easily pick up anything I really need at local stores at greater savings, like others my time is precious

    I use several meguiars products and I love them, some of which I bought at harbor freight, some of which I got cheaper from autogeek.

    I always get free shipping and I plan ahead, i very rarely need a detailing product at a moment's notice. Because I buy high quality products, they last a long time. Most can be diluted so they last even longer.
    My time is precious so I don't waste it driving to and waiting in line at walmart.

    self check out at Walmart 2 minutes tops, while you have to spend $100 of products from online places to get free shipping my cars are washed/waxed/detailed while ur waiting around for the post man, my time is money and super precious.

    Its chemical guys, no bros. I'm not a fan of their stuff, a lot of it contains alcohol which degraded clear coat and the products I use to protect it. Not everything does, but some does. I like carpro reset for a soap, it's pretty expensive but once you figure out the dilution rates, it ends up being cheaper than the $5 megs jug. Plus is a much better soap

    I don't have 2 minutes to do self check out. Plus it takes me 10 or 15 minutes each way to drive there, oh and gas money. I get free shipping every time I order, doesn't matter if its $10 or $100+.
    I place 2 or 3 orders a year, like I said I never need to run out to get a single product, I have everything I need to wash, "wax", and detail 10 or 15 cars right in my garage. So actually you're behind me when you think about it

    not really I take the public transportation when I go Auto supply shopping its more efficient use of my time so no gas money spent for me round trip is 45 minutes max, while ur still waiting for the post man to arrive, I wouldn't need to spend $100 for car wax cause I need rent and food money first got to prioritize

    I’ve tried so many of there products and trashed every bottle. I’m no detail freak but I do clean my truck weekly and wax it monthly. I hate chemical guys. Doesn’t last

    Amen. Not bashing anyone either. Hell that is what I started with along with using Dawn for soap because I didn't know any better.

    Like pudge said, I looked at my last few orders from Autogeek and the orders were all 25% off plus free shipping. Like pudge I plan ahead and don't wait till I completely run out of product before I order. Also, I tend to buy gallons on high use products at it is cheaper per ounce.

    Yikes. 45 minutes round trip? I could wash, dry, and apply a 4-6 month sealant to 2 cars in that amount of time. My postman arrived in June so I'm stocked up on everything I need. My mortgage is up to date and my cabinets are stocked with food. And I definitely do not own a single $100 bottle of car wax, that would just be crazy to spend $100 on wax that will only protect for a couple months as most waxes do. Not when I can get a "boutique" brand 3-5 year ceramic coating for about $50 shipped right to my door.

    I've never used Chemical bros but it seems it has hot and cold reviews, it seems gimmicky a lot of their products come with these heavy scents so it attracts certain buyers I guess, if it floats your boat
