So I went to carquest.....

[habeba86]

Went to my local tiny carquest to get some parts for my cherokee and as I walk in, naturally the small half isle of car care stuff had to be checked out. When i say small i mean this place is like the size of a big 2 stall garage. Anyway im looking and see duragloss stuff!!! They didnt have alot but some and said they could order whatever i wanted. So i only got some cwc 901 bit im super stoked to find a local place to me( i live n the middle of nowhere) that has some cool stuff!!! Cant wait to try it out....come on spring!

Very cool. If you get a chance, ask for their chemical book or catalog that way you know what they carry. Some stuff to look for:

1) #951 Aquawax
2) #105 Total Performance Polish
3) #111 Clear Coat Polish (no cleaners)
4) #501 Marine/RV Polish
5) #601 Polish Bonding Agent
6) #671 Swirl Mark Remover (strong all in one)
7) #531 Marine/RV Protectant (apply to door seals)
8) #931 Rinseless Wash w/ Aquawax

My carquest happens to be attached to one on the regions distribution warehouses... Sometimes they just have to walk out there to get stuff

Cool find. Every time I read about someone finding quality car care stuff at a random auto parts store it's never a franchise with a location in my area, but I think there may be a single Carquest not too far away.

Side note - what is with the auto parts stores going back to the old dot matrix printers from 1983 for their receipts?

Continuous roll multi-part forms. Plus they're reliable and cheap to re-ink the ribbons. Yes, dot-matrix impact printers are still manufactured to this very day. They serve their purpose well if you can get past the "it's so darn old fashioned!" In the scheme of things, laser printers have been around for almost as long.
