From what I understand, it's because the owner died and there is now just a very small staff there, at least on the front end.
Edit: Here's a thread about it: https://www.autopia.org/threads/finish-kare-dropping-external-distribution.193250/
Edit Edit: I just tried and my shipping, coast-to-coast was $46.41 for the gallon of FK425, when I added a can of the Hi-Temp Paste Wax it went up to $71.44 shipping.

I never really liked 425, but my gallon got frozen in shipment, so maybe I never got to experience it the way it's supposed to be. I don't think I used even 16 oz of that gallon, but a lot of that is because QD's seemed to become irrelevant to me once waterless washes became common, because 99% of my uses for a QD seemed to be handled by a WW.
PS they do seem to have the cherry wax on Amazon, along with the Hi-Temp.

You better hide that invoice from the wifey, or your detailing days are over. LOL

Do people use waterless washes (i.e Wolfgang Uber) as quick detailers to remove dust ? Always figured waterless washes where a scam

Are you talking about the Wolfgang Uber rinseless? I mean there are so many waterless washes, and most every rinseless give a dilution to make a waterless like Uber. I'm not sure what you mean when you say they are a scam...waterless washes have a place, as do rinseless, as do conventional. I mean I guess it's a scam if you think a waterless wash is a good choice for a muddy truck that's been offroading.
A quick detailer was traditionally used to perhaps remove some water spots post wash, some fingerprints, dust as you note, or to give some pop...like a "quick detail"; I mostly used them for bird poop removal. But yes, you can surely use a waterless wash to remove dust.

I only have 2 rinseless wash concentrates on my shelf, and Wolfgang Uber Rinseless is one of them. I use it exclusively as a waterless wash @3oz. per gallon dilution per directions.
Waterless washing is not a scam and IMO this product is among the best of them. It’s so good I buy it by the gallon.
