Does anyone know what stores you can buy this stuff locally at? I have tried AutoZone, Pepboys, and Target with no luck. Not sure if it's just me who can't find it, the Pepboys and AutoZone here in Cincinnati are pathetic, they dont stock hardly anything.

Thanks for the reply, I will try WalMart tomorrow. I dont know what it is about Cincinnati, but most of the stores here dont stock much. I have a hard time just finding plain foam pads around here!



Anyway thanks for the tip.

Thats why I'm on a first name basis with the UPS guy. Cinci stores do pretty much stink.</blockquote>

LOL! :D Amen, I feel your pain. I will post if I find this stuff in Cincy incase you want to try it sometime.
 
I tried WalMart, they did not have it. I have tried:



AutoZone

Pepboys

Walmart

Target

Meijer

Napa

Advanced Autoparts



None of these stores has the Eagle One Concours. Also, none have just plain yellow foam pads!! I have come to the conclusion that the stores in Cincinnati are useless. I guess I will just have to order it from CMA.
 
You can order foam pads from Top Of The Line; they are .50 each. I also cannot find them locally. VERY frustrating.
 
articwhite,



Thanks for the tip about the foam pads. It makes me feel better to know that I am not the only one who can't find a darn thing at local stores. I bet some of us have more car stuff in our basement than some stores have on their shelves. :)
 
It's pretty sad that I have to order something as simple as foam pads from outwest. The shipping has always been quick from Top Of The Line, but it always seems silly to me to have to go that far just for foam. Crazy.



By the way - I have been curious about the Eagle One tire dressing that you are speaking of....have you ever tried it before, or are you just looking to try it out for the first time? If you have tried it, or have seen it on others' cars, what type of finish does it leave? Is it durable? Thanks.
 
No, I have not tried it yet. I have heard good things from Brad B. about it though. He says it leaves a matte finish and lasts around 2 weeks. Give it the "new" tire look, and not that getto shine junk. He uses it on some of his cars so it must be pretty good. I like Zaino Z16, but it is a little pricey once you add shipping and everything, thats why I am going to the Eagle One Concours, if I can even find it that is. :)
 
We are thinking alike. I really like the Z-16 as well, but agree that $20.00 per bottle (after shipping) is a bit pricey.



I would only have two concerns with the Eagle One - First, does it contain a UV blocker? When I have read about it, it made no mention of any UV protection. :( And second, I wonder if over time, it will discolor the tire? Again, I don't know about that either. I have been using the Z-16 for the last 9 months or so, and am very pleased, but wouldn't mind trying the Eagle One if I knew a little more about it.



If you have to resort to ordering it, CMA does carry it. Definately let me know what you think of it if you try it. :D
 
The Z-16 may be a little pricey, but its a pretty big bottle and it will probably yield several hundred applications to tires! Unless you drive a tractor...

I just checked two RS Strauss stores (Union Ave and Greenpoint
Ave) in Brooklyn, but they only have the Eagle One Wet dressing.
Please let me know the location in the Bronx you went to!

Thanks,
José
 
Success!!!:D :D I found it at a small place here in Cincy. They deal in classic cars, so the stocked the Concours. I will try it next week and post a full review.
 
Totally agree with the foam pads. Why is it that most if not all retailers don't carry foam pads? It's ridiculous. As a result, I usually just order 10 pads at a time from Tim at www.tacscar.com. Perhaps next time I'll just order 30 and not order some for a year or two. Laters.
 
Don, I must be doing something wrong because I rotated three yellow foam applicators (depending on which product I was applying) for about six months now and none of them are showing any sign of falling apart. They look almost brand new after I wash them. Terry applicators...now that's another story.
 
I have been using the Eagle One Satin for a couple months now. Great stuff, and way better than I expected. Seems to last on the tire longer than both 303 and Vinylex, with a sheen that is somewhere between the two. I use an Eagle One Swipe when applying, and I let it sit for about 15 minutes before buffing off with a terry towel.
