Crappy Tire and Meg's Gold Class Wash

I dropped by Canadian Tire today, as usual dropped by the car washing section just for fun. I knew there wasn't anything too interesting on sale this week, nonetheless, just wanted to visit. I noticed that Meg's gold class car wash is now $20. When did they bump up the price? It was still $14 about 2 weeks ago. Gee and I was waiting for it to go half price so I could stock up, as I'm on my last bottle.

Gone are the good days, http://www.detailingbliss.com/forum/...wash-3973.html

Gold Class is ok, but you can get better soap for less money.

25 cents an ounce compared to GC's 65.

I also bought GC a long time ago when it was 1) cheap and 2) on sale. Has lasted me a long time, but will probably go with something like what Picus suggested next.

good to know. I wonder what shipping does to the price of this?

I've been using Zep o shine - 4l @ $32. I've used about 2.5l in about 3 years now.

I go through a few bottles of the Zaino Car wash (Z7) a year. It's $11.95 a bottle.

I have been extremely happy with it, but maybe I should switch to something cheaper. (I think I have about 3 bottles left)
