Incredibly Cheap Finds

First time posting in here. Bought these two from Oreilly's for $3.87 each, only thing I saw that was on clearance. I noticed both have different packaging which was odd to me. I don't go to advanced auto parts since it's across the bridge for me but you guys have gotten some great steals there! There is a carquest near me but I have yet to check it out.
 
Walmart on clearance
$5 each on the meguiars (I mostly want the pads)
$2 each on the bondo trim restore
 
Gas powered pressure washer at Costco on special this month.

Powered by Subaru. Electric and pull start. 3100 psi. 2.4 gallons per minute.

$269.99 And don't forget that Costco has a lifetime warranty.
 
Found round yellow foam applicator pads on Amazon. 12 for $2.55 with free shipping.
Got 2 pckgs

Great deal! I wonder if you can use that in a spray bottle like opti seal. I got like 8 for same price. Going to try the spray bottle thing.
 
I bought the last two TW Ice Sealants from my local Meijer. They were marked half off but after checking the scanner they showed $3.43 each.

Remember at Target/Meijer/WalBorg to hit the ends of the aisles, that is where most of the clearance items can be found.

you have to be careful with those cheaper foam applicators on paint, they have the potential to marr paint (it's happened to me). if you're using them for trim/bumpers probably not a big deal then...

Thanks for the heads up!
 
Picked up a second Hf polisher on craigs for 15 bux came with an HD 5in bp probably turning this into a 3 in setup
 
I stopped by Oreillys this morning and found Meguiars Paint Protect on the clearance rack for $1.97
I've always been curious as to how this would work to protect headlights after using McKee's AIO Headlight Restoring Polish.. I cleaned up the headlights on a Toyota Camry 4months ago, and protected them with Megs Headlight Protectant. They're already starting to haze up again... It'll be great if this lasts longer.

You may have better luck coating with a uv resistant clear coat. Youd have to wet sand them first though. Very well worth it if you have hazy headlights.

That's what I'm going to try next time my headlights yellow.

Rattle-can clear, though.

Yeah, I never use those on paint but they're great for interior dressings and products like Leatherique RO.
 
Purchased a gallon of Griots Brilliant Finish Car Soap at advanced auto for $4 today. I have noticed that the products with yellow price tags near the registers are normally the products on sale. Scored two bottles of Griots One Step Sealant for $2.50 a piece the other week.

I've been buying up those Megs 3" PowerPads too that seem to be on clearance at a few stores. I have been having good results using them with the Rupes Mini on concave/convex surfaces. The more rounded edges seem to cause less drag than the Rupes 100mm pads on those types of surfaces and the keeps the BP spinning a bit better. They seem like they are same exact foam composition as the bigger Megs pads.

Griots One Step is a pretty good product, @ $2.50 a NO BRAINER!
