    Big fan of the snow foam for aftering being out on the mud. Drops 99% of the dirt with just dropping suds. Rest comes off in later with a rinse. The Vo7 hrybrid detailer and sealant works well too imo

    This will happen more and more as Wal-Mart's online marketplace grows. As they expand their e-commerce to try and take market share from Amazon, they have the unique ability (unique vs. Amazon) to bring some of the better sellers into their stores.

    May not be a great thing, depending on the relationship. Walmart has a habit of requiring vendors to lower costs continually, most times to the detriment of the product quality. But, depends on if this is one of those relationships, or they just are putting up specific products from certain vendors to help their marketplace presence.

    Concerning though since they are getting shelf space that this is one of the "not good" relationships.

    Correct. Generally established brands with just opt to not sell their goods to them anymore (watch Amazon’s selection of quality brands fall off now that they’ve switched to maximizing profits vs. maximizing selection) but this opens shelf space for the junk we don’t want.

    Amazon has stopped accepting cost increases across the board. Inflation? Sorry. Possible tariffs? Not their problem. 3rd party vendors will continue to be able to set their price, but manufacturers and 1st party vendors will be incentivized to cut ties. Especially well established accounts which uploaded their costs years ago.
