I was at the chemical guys store yesterday. Almost everything was the same price as their website.. unless you buy in combo.. like V7 & Blacklight together was discounted 10-15%, but if you buy individually, it was the same price as website.

The only GREAT deals were glossworkz (10$ per bottle), and the pad conditioning brush ($3 ... compared to the outrageous $13 or so charged by all detailing websites). I got the brush, stripper scent (which was again same price as website - $10 +tax), and some hand applicator pads, squeeze bottle caps, etc.

I wish I had not bought some of the stuff already.. the foam DA pads, backing plates, and towels were decently priced.. but I already had several of those already.. so I had to unfortunately pass. The girl working at the counter (no, not the models :-() was extra nice.. she even threw in a couple extra spray heads for free!!! I could not believe it since my order was so small (only $15)! I wish they open up a store closer to my place in San Jose... I would not buy from anywhere else if they did!!

I like it alot. I usually wash about 6-7mf towels that I use for removing polishes and wax I use 4caps it makes lots of suds. Of all other microfiber towels like for interior and wheels i use 5caps.

Yup.. she suggested glossworkz may not work well for me since I am in an apartment, and it foams a lot.. so it will be difficult to wash a car with glossworkz without a hose.. but I bought it anyway. Stripper Scent was recommended by all the folks here, so got that.

I plan to use Collonite 845 as a sealant, and I read on several places that 845 does not bond well with anything.. so using glaze below it is not the best thing.. Hence I decided against it.

They had some really good MF towels.. waffle weaves for drying, thick ones with silk edges, ones for removing waxes, etc.. Unfortunately I had already bought enough MF towels to last me a while, and I did not want to stock up given the space crunch in my apartment..

I have never tried Micro restore but i do like the CG microfiber wash. It foams good it depends how much you use its very concentrated. 3-5caps full is more than enough depending on how dirty your towels are. leaves them smelling fresh and clean
