ADS Quartz applied to the EN!

Another way of looking at it--spending too much time on the forum and analyzing website pictures of packaging. It just occurred to me that I guess those could be vacuum-formed packages in which case the tooling would be a lot less than for injection molded.

To be fair, I'd need to create some more controls and monitor the variables to validate my thoughts.

That sounds awful engineer-ish :p
 
This is the ADS blurb that comes up on the Google search, but doesn't show on the actual page that I linked:

"Meet Villain, the wash sponge engineered for safe, efficient, and ultra-low-friction rinseless washing—designed to perfectly complement HERO Rinseless Wash."

Thank you

I'll be placing an order for the sponge and a couple gallons like Pilot and EZ Beads, maybe a 16.9 oz bottle of Hero while I'm there

How clean is your interior?! I can't even get through 16oz maintaining two vehicles with a 3yr old crumb creator. I'm impressed unless you're just apocalypse purchasing detail supplies

So about this Villain sponge, do we think this is going to be an ADS website exclusive when it drops on Monday (if the product actually drops, and not just the video announcing it), or do we think it's going to be simultaneously available and the usual suspects (ADS resellers)?

They tend to allow orders of it from distributors in the early days that get delivered just a few days after their own shipments of new products go out.

My guess is it'll sell out in whatever form/bundle they offer Monday during the announcement and you'll see it slowly show up at distributors and get back to stock all over. So it's a question of if the launch deal is too good to pass up or worth waiting until it'll be available in the spring sales coming up.

This isn't helping me with my evil plan to use the Villain to get up to free shipping on my order at one of the distributors.

You can buy gallons of "stuff", their EZ Beads and Tire Cleaner are really good but actually I haven't tried a subpar product yet

You know what you are? You're an enabler, that's what you are! :p

I don't generally buy gallons of anything anymore...I still have gallons and gallons of "stuff" from buying...er...gallons. Including 2 gallons of Meg's Final Inspection that I got for a nickel each at Autozone or Advance when they had that...glitch? Does anybody remember this? https://autogeekonline.net/threads/2-gallons-of-megs-final-inspection-0-10.52851/

(I can't believe I found that thread so easily--Google FTW)
 
A nickle...WOW! I'd use it in the engine bay, wheelwells, tires & wheels, jams, etc...it's basically FREE

I'm an enabler for sure but I'm trying to get you your free shipping as well

I only need the price of a ($16) sponge to get to free shipping.

I just read over that nickel thread from over a dozen years ago, some names from the past that don't post here anymore. It's funny, unless I'm remembering someone else's story, I did go into one store where they had the stuff and it was a manager-type at the cash register and when it rang up at a nickel he said he couldn't sell it, that when it is that price they are supposed to get rid of it.

For anyone that doesn't want to read the thread I linked above, the Cliff's Notes are, someone went to Advance Auto and they had some Meg's Final Inspection and clay and Trizact sanding discs on the clearance rack for half price. He thought that was a good deal so he brought them to the cash register, but they rang up at $.05 each.

I guess these were products that didn't sell, so they put them on clearance, and after some period of time of still not selling, they decide they are going to scrap them, or give them away to their commercial customers. Since they IRS won't allow you to value any inventory at zero, they give them a "scrap" value of $.05. So the events took place after Autozone globally changed the price to $.05, but before the stores were told to scrap them, or at least before the stores got around to doing it.

Some of us got $30 gallons of Final Inspection and $25 jars of clay for a nickel each. It seemed since so many stores had 2 of each, that was what was allocated to each store, and since they didn't sell all season, they decided to dump them.

Those old names, Swanicyouth, Feslope and Visitor, and you ofcoarse Setec I joined in February 2012, with this being a Meg's thread I'm surprised I didn't post, probably too busy looking for DG products at Carquest

Tire Cleaner is good. I bought a gallon though and given its strength, I've been more nervous to experiment with it than to just use it.

I've been using it on tires/wheel wells and weather mats. I hear I should expand and try it on engine bays, etc... treat it like a APC. It's probably the only gallon purchase where I realize that a 16oz would've been sufficient based on my use.

EZ Beads though - go all in! So many uses for that stuff when you want quick and simple.

You know what you need? Stuff Remover! You probably will need a lot of it so I'd suggest at least TWO of the 5 gallon buckets. 😁
