Incredibly Cheap Finds

Dang, I thought there was a Lowes on like every corner, I have 5 within 45 miles! Closest is 10! The towels weren't overly expensive once I shopped around. Makes it easier for laundry since I can keep a bin in the basement and rotate stock. The flip top is nice since I can just open and close on the go and not worry about if the lid on the ground picking up bits to be dropped back into the container. I originally saw them on someone else's garage and liked the idea. Now that they are on closeout I couldn't resist. The "new" style is $8!

How do you like those HD towels? Do they compare in softness, durability to the more expensive ones?

They're better than the orange/ white pack from Home Depot that I have.

Passed the cd test I gave them. Wouldn't let them touch paint without doing a correction afterwards though.

Deformed with use of my steamer.

Had to cut the tag off so some are coming apart at that spot.

They're about the quality of the pro force towels. That makes them a bargain at the $5 for 30 towels but I would not pay much more than that. I did an escalade a few weeks back and the interior was filthy. I went through 90 towels and was very happy I had purchased them at that point. Great to have too many. I would have hated to have to stop and wash a load.
 
90 towels? On one car?? holy crap! did they just take it
out of the mud bog?
 
Big Lots near me had Goodyear magic erasers 90% off (15 cents each) got 7
And a corded electric drill for 90% off ($2.50)

Paid 3.80 with tax for 8 items including a drill!!

Well I sure walked into that one!


Yes I took pics and was in the process of resizing them, but I've started a pretty intense three week contract with regular work so it'll be a minute but it should be a pretty solid "show n shine"

I'll give you a tiny preview. Keep in mind it was a sale prep and the seller is family- I had time on my hands and was striving for perfection. They have used this thing as a work truck for the past 3 or 4 years where it has not been washed or cleaned the entire time.

The entire seat was "cleaned" with water and mf first, then I used the steamer and Meg's apc on the right side.
 
Went to Big Lots in my local town and found Purple clay magic (50g) plus a super concentrated glass cleaner and clay lube. Price on package said $5.00 so I was going to buy 2. THEY RANG UP .50 ea. so I bought 10.

Pretty good deal. I got them all from my area for $1.25 two weeks ago and of course, they go from 75% off to 90%!

Look for the aquapel, if my math is correct, they will be $0.50 too!
 
All the Lowe's anywhere close to me are all out of those plastic boxes and cannot get them shipped either!!!!

My Big Lots doesn't carry squat that I would use. Most of it is some off-brand type stuff, and what's there that has a name to it is Armor-
All and I'm not touching that stuff.

I mean when you can buy a car detailing product in a drug store, how good can it be??!!
