Not incredibly cheap but definitely a good deal. Home Depot has a 14" supply bag that is capable of holding the 32oz spray bottles and many other items. For $19.88

BUMP just in case anyone missed this - the Sam's Club microfibers don't lint, they are extremely soft, and very plush after the first wash. After years using them for a multitude of purposed, they just blow me away...

FOR LESS THAN 50 CENTS EACH!!!!!!!



You can even buy 4 different colors, and keep interior separate from paint, and wheels separate from glass! WOW.

Been using them myself...Good for applying vinyl cleaner, detailing engine, door jambs and best yet for cleaning windows. I use my plush ones for polishing, wax removal etc..

You can really tell a difference? I just can't make myself pay double, triple, or even quadruple or MORE per microfiber, when these have served me so well over the years, from daily drivers to cars that have literally been in magazines, my customers are always thrilled.
 
Went to big lots yesterday and picked up some nxt tech wax 2.0 for 8 bucks a can. Just picked up one can for now, might go back and grab a few more if I like it cause they had a bunch.
 
I've already posted this in another thread but thought I should post here also. Walmart has Meguiars tire and wheel cleaner on sale for $4.50.
 
Big Lots Mitchellville Rd. customer return. $12.99 + tax.
Surprisingly all part there with 4 extra wheels and some wood screws to boot.

32"Hx16"Wx30"L with 5" wheels.







 
I will not use sams club towels on paint period! have you ever felt the edges of those towels?? They are rough. Some guys use them for paint and say well just don't touch the edge on the paint....Yep that works but why would I waste my time trying to be cautious and worry about touching it when I can spend a couple bucks and have a piece of mind??

I have had those scratch the hell out of dash gauge plastic, chrome wheels etc I use them for interiors wheels wells etc.

I have never noticed this happening, but it is food for thought without a doubt. It's just that without exaggerating the 'other' microfibers on the market are literally quadruple or even quintuple the cost of these. 500% markup for soft edges? I am not saying they aren't better, but I can use that money elsewhere I guess. If it came down to it, and I had a client with a Maserati or Bugatti, I totally agree these finite changes make an impact, but my results thus far for the past few years have been stellar and even on my own vehicles I can't say I've taken notice of marring due to edges - BUT, now I WILL be much, much more cognizant of it! :)
 
Stopped at a yard sale picked this up for $1. And it works.

Found great buy at Target today on close out. Wand for hose with soap dispenser and mix valve, plus wash mitt and brush. Originally $19.99 today $5.99. Tried it right away to wash SVT Cobra. Put Meg's Gold Car wash and a little ONR in soap container and washed black SVT Cobra. It did a great job. I wished I
Had a bit more hose pressure but I'm real happy of soap quantity and quality for that price. I'd have bought at least one more but I got the last one.
 
BIG LOTS!!!!!! They always have car cleaning stuff on the hella cheap. Best I have found was Megs and Mothers QD for $1.50. Bought 20 bottles.

May have to look for that. Do you still have the price tag? If you can get the SKU, you can use the Target item locator to see if a local store has it.

That's nuts. The only "good" thing I could find at mine was the nxt 2.0 paste wax for 8 bucks a can. I picked one up but still haven't used it lol. I might check the other nearby big lots and see if they have anything different.

With big lots it's all about which one you go to.

I haven't found anything good near me yet. But in comparing the 2 they have so many different products from each other.

ps Rain-x wiper blades they have a blue cap on the blade are only $10 a piece normally $25 at autozone. I wouldn't apply the treatment personally but the blades are the same as the regular flexible ones.
