Dude, I just found out about all the stuff that they had down there.. My mother asked me if I wanted to come with her my first day back from Cali, and to be nice i said sure why not. I went there, I bought a 40 Pack of Terry Cloth Towels, a 3 Pack of Wash mitts and soon enough ill buy my Water blade from there..
 
If you use the water blade, do so CAREFULLY please. I would hate to see you harm your finish.



Get some food to eat during detailing breaks too!
 
Unless you spent a fortune and bought some freakish 40 pack of Fieldcrest bath towels, those are the ultra-cheap so-called "100% cotton" towels made in India or Pakistan right? I have them too, but don't use them on paint since they're incredibly coarse and thin. I'm pretty sure I did an impromptu scratch test on mine and they were bad. Probably not really 100% cotton either. To my dismay I'm discovering many "100% cotton" products that are NOT! :eek:



Buy some domestically made towels that feel soft or better yet, microfiber cloths. Much better! :)



PS: You might want to get the huge jug of blue Zymol carwash if they sell it. That is goooood stuff and smells terrific! :up
 
Costco soooooo owns me!!!



Make sure you buy that killer hose nozzle they have too. It's $20 and is exactly the same thing you see in other catalogs for $40 and Griots catalog for like $76. I love mine and you'll love yours.



Check to see if they still have the digital tire pressure gauge for $15. It's made by Accutire which seems to be the best digital tire gauge you can buy. For $15 its a total steal.



While you're there get a DeWalt cordless drill, that Karcher gas engine pressure washer, a couple bottles of Rodney Strong cabernet, that bistro/pub table and chairs for $259, a 2 pack of Freschetta's pizza, those Barq's root beer float ice cream pops, that Pioneer big screen, one of the new Toshiba DVD players, a couple pairs of Ralph Lauren jeans, that new massage chair they just got in....... I think that's it for today. I'll have a completely new shopping list for you tomorrow. ;) :eek:
 
Bretfraz: Home Depot sells the Husky stand up 20+ gallon tank, oil filled, air compressor for $369. Can a Costco do better??? I need to find a better price!
 
Costco has a bunch of great stuff. I've bought about 3 packs of the 40 towels and used them on my paint :eek:. This was before I thought about towels scratching the paint. Now they're used for the doorjambs, interior, buffing tire gel, etc. I got my CCD and my CWB there. Lots of those sheepskin washmitts. This one time, I saw a packaged Meguiar's product line with the GC wash, wax, vinyl protectant, Edurance High Gloss and the QD for under $20 bucks. I bought it. All they have now are the Zymol labeled Turtle Wax products.
 
:bow ----->> Costco USA



:sosad ---->> Costco Canada



I hate how selection of anything (except what you call "candy bars") is poorer up here. :(



M3 Dream's: do a search on the Zymol carwash. Yes, it's made by TW, but it's got good lubricity, and smells like tropical banana!

2 questions (out of curiosity):



1) What do you call "candy bars" in Canada? I know that in Australia they called them something else, but I can't remember what it was now...



2) What's burning in your avatar? (sorry if that's already been asked)



Thanks! :)

1) I read this on a website and have found this to be true (so far). :) Americans call them "candy bars" and we call them "chocolate bars". Apparently we have more varieties [insert maniacal laughter here].



2) ALTEZZAS SUCK!!!! :D :D



You're the first to ever ask, surprisingly!

I worked at Baskin Robins 31 and if you look at the chart that they usually have posted, the "fat per serving" collumn of the chart for the "Fat Free" ice cream or yogurt actually has a fat per serving of above 0! It's amazing companies can get away with this false advertising.



Oh, and if you want MF towels, check out JT international on eBay... I got a kilobuttload (damn metric system) of them for like 20-25$.
