HD Speed is my 'go-to' AIO for production detailing. Love this product like so many of you. However, I couldn't help but notice that a 32 oz bottle is now $29.99 - used to be in the $22.99 ballpark.

3D HD Speed 32 oz.

Interestingly enough, McKee's 360 is also now $29.99 for a 32 oz bottle.

32 oz. McKee's 37 360™ Corrects, Cleans, Seals

Perhaps the secret's out that both products are top-notch...not sure.

I've asked why HD Speed doesn't come in a gallon jug like other product lines. Looks like they now offer a gallon jug but it's "discontinued" on the AG website...

3D HD Speed 128 oz.

I'm puzzled,

Glad I got one of the last bottles for the old price. With the 20% coupon and free shipping the cost was right around $18 for 32oz.
 
HD Speed not available by the gallon? That's not possible... detailers use it by the gallon... I go through that stuff like water! Only thing I can think of is they are not selling by the gallon until all the stock is diminished in preparation for some variation of HD Speed II or something.
 
That makes no sense at all.

Except if the motivation is to drive us to house brands.

I hate to say it but it's widely available with free shipping, no minimum for $24.99.

Oh well.
 
sometimes when a product gets raves and becomes very popular the company will drive the prices up (no one brand in specific here). back around 10 years ago when i got the eurow shag towels (the first microfiber of it's kind before the eagle edgeless and countless others) they were only $15.90 a 10pk and then everyone started buying them and it jumped up to almost twice as much not to long after. that was back in the early autopia days which we called the autopian effect...
 
I haven't seen it available in a gallon for a while. Not an option directly from 3D/HD either.

Supply and demand dictates price.
 
Prices go up, not down typically. Don't worry about how much a product costs. Worry about how much it makes you.
 
Like I said you can get it at $24.99 including shipping so AG should price match that.

Price Match Promise

Competiton dictates prices too. It's called capitalism and free market trade. YAY!!!

Gas goes up, gas goes down. Commodities go up, commodities go down.

Watch the price at the pumps from Harvey, fasten your seatbelts, not since Katrina are you about to see this.
LOL.

I'm already getting emails from my polyethylene bag and stretch film manufacturers to get orders in.
 
30.00 a at...that's 120.00 a gallon. What were y'all paying for gallons 79.99??

Let me tell you about that waste reducing cap Bob.

I bought a 16oz bottle that I intended to give to a friend as a gift. It was temporarily stored on my shelf in my laundry room, I bumped into the shelf and it fell a couple feet, wham bam thank you mam, broken cap and no top to seal it with. It shattered into multiple pieces. Total junk.

Hey 3D / HD go back to the old pull tops asap. Or send me a new one.

What is this fascination with "fixing what ain't broke" nowadays?

Seems like corporate job security: "Give us fresh new ideas to stay on top, or you're fired."

Meanwhile, they are screwing up a good thing. I don't know, just my observations..... :/
 
Not sure what their cost is but I suspect this is a short-sided profit grab and their cost is pennies per bottle. There are very nice alternatives so it doesn't make sense for them to raise the price. I've never bought it because I'm locked and loaded with 360, not because it is better but because it is the first AIO that I ordered to try. I liked it enough so I quite thinking of what was next. I have a gallon of 360 now so it is going to be tough for them to get me to consider hd speed but raising the price is making it almost impossible now.

You really MUST 'shop around'. There are *plenty* of times that AG is not the 'price leader' w/ different prices on Autopia and/or Amz.

PBMG is basically playing a pricing shell game.
