I was in Wally world tonight in the great state of NH and they had Autoglym HD for $10 a box. Also had the palm applicators for $2 a piece so I bought 3. Those things are awesome!

I promised wifey I would wouldn't buy anymore waxes though and she held me to it :awman:
 
I'm surprised you still found them. I got one two months ago for the same price. Awesome Deal!
 
What would you guys compare the HD to that Autogeek sells?
 
$10 is what the price should've been all along. Just two years ago, that stuff was being sold for $100

Now they've lost both the Wally World account, plus they stand a fat chance of gaining their (pre-ww) following back

Who didn't see this coming?

AG HD is a great wax IMO, but it does have a slight learning curve to it that throws some people off. I think it looks awesome, and it has very good durability for a wax. It has a deep look like a nuba, but at the same time it has lots of gloss like a sealant. One of my favorites, and at $10 you just can't go wrong.

As far as comparing it, get ready haters, I would say it's similar to Fuzion. Buy that I mean it has the wax and sealant look going on at the same time. It is by no means as easy to apply as Fuzion but it should offer better durability, great looks, and at a small fraction of the price.

I totally disagree. AG makes some AWESOME products. Their Custom Wheel Cleaner is easily the best on the market and is a fraction of the price of Sonax and P21S. Also their interior shampoo is top notch and also priced well. Another great product is their super resin polish. One of the most underrated AIO's out there. They have a very solid line that will bound back from the Wally Worl and Pep Boys failures.

Also those failure are more due to the fact that the dumb rednecks at Wally World aren't going to spend $50 on a wax when they see TW Ice sitting right next to it for $10. They have no idea how much better the AG HD is, so they shop only based on price.

Well, IMO Auto Glym should've done their homework better. I also concour, who is going to be stupid enough to spend $50, when you can get practically the exact same thing for $10

Yeah TW Ice is the same as AG HD what was I thinking...lol
 
I got AG HD from Walmart too and found the wax difficult to apply by hand. Most waxes I use have at least some lubricity to them but HD wax went on kind of dry and spotty. It sure looked great when I was done though. I even think collinite 476 is easier to apply than HD.

No hating here, I regularly use both Fuzion and AG HD and agree with this. My white daily driver got a coat of HD on Saturday and my girlfriend's metallic black DD got a coat of Fuzion yesterday, both look fantastic. I don't think HD is going to win anyone over on ease of use, but once you have the technique for application dialed in removal is easy.

:iagree: Except for the Dumb Redneck part. (I consider mine to be of a "tea-cake brown" hue) :)

MSDS for AG HD is very, very similar to TW ICE's, as well as many, many others. Money I spend on fancy packaging and hype is reserved for shiny items for the wife. At least that's what I tell her. :D

There is an obvious difference between TW Ice and AGHD. Just in terms of looks and durability. I really hope you aren't trying to say that they both do the same thing, or work the same...

My posting only referenced similarities of the MSD-es for: TW Ice, AG HD, as well as many, many others.

Looks and durability; do the same thing; or work the same---entirely different topics, no doubt.

I've seen postings, though, that say (and I paraphrase): LSPs' purpose is to act as a sacrificial barrier; and, they provide very little towards the enhancement of well-prepped top-paint-film-build surfaces.

Hmmm....That ^^^ figures. :(

Thank you for the input gentlemen. I was regretting not getting it but not so much anymore. Sounds like a great wax but I have so many sitting around I couldn't justify another one. Those applicators with the finger slots though are such a good idea. I used it today for the first time and loved it. Can't go wrong at 2 bucks either.

Funny you should mention the TW ice though because some guy had a bottle in his hand and I was so close to telling him to get the HD instead but the last time I was at wally world I actually did that and the "redneck" was like, "nah, this ICE stuff is the best on the market." Hey like mikey says "find something you like and use it often."

Probally a smart move on two levels:

1) The redneck would've applied the HD to thick

2) Never try to seperate a redneck from their ICE

They likely have many pallets of old-stock that WW returned, not all stores cleared it out. I suspect the same will come of Surf City as my store still appears to have sold none and dust is settling on all the tops. Just not the right venue ...
 
ATTENTION AG HD Lovers (me one of them appliedby machine on speed 3 )

Wal MArt tonight had it on double clearance for $8!!!!!!!!!! lol awesome!
