I just got my order of Jacques Villeneuve (Sonax) 2 in 1 shampoo in the mail and the receipt says that the Jacques Villeneuve products will be carried by Canadian Tire "this spring".



Since they aren't there now, can I assume that this is Spring 2004?



Regardless, it will be nice to be able to get Sonax locally!



Now if Walmart would start carrying PS21 and ClearKote, and Zaino ... :cool:
 
Have you used it yet? The Jaque Villeneuve stuff is the premium line from what I understand. I'm interested to know how you think this stuff works?



Was the online ordering from them easy and was the shipping quick? I'm in Alberta so I'd like to know what their shipping speed is like.

Ordering was smooth, it took 5 business days to get here (just in time to miss the Postal Strike). (I'm in NB by the way)



I used it this morning; its very nice and slippery and produces lots of suds with littly teeny weeny uniform bubbles (never seen anything quite like that).



I mixed it at 12.5ml to 5 litres as reccomended.



As far as how it "looks", I personally don't see any difference in the results in any car wash, car is clean, I'm happy.



It'll be interesting to see how it performs full strength as a bug remover.



No shipping charges and no tax, better order some quick!:xyxthumbs
 
Jim, you have a private message (I don't think they'll let me post the URL here??):nono



Anyway it was shipped from Toronto, so you should get it in no time!
 
Oh wow, that's neat that CT will be carrying this stuff! :cool:



I totally forgot abou that site - free shipping right now! Woohoo! :D Still debating though.....



Gary - :cool: Very cool new avatar, if a bit mis-matching to your custom status... :D



Biff - I assume this Hillvalley place is your commercial detailing site? If so, that is why it was needed to be removed. Personal sites and other stuff are okay. Just no businesses. You'll notice none of the other pro-detailers like Scott and Anthony are allowed to do this either.

My local Canadian Tire had a big end display of it a couple of weeks ago...
 
Ohh, I'm going to have to break my streak of not driving in canada since my january accident now. When you see me driving can you people slow down and use turn signals and tell me what the flashing green light means and the flashing red?
 
Is this Jaques Villeneuve stuff really that good? I gave a passing glance as I walked by, giggling to myself at some company using a has-been as a marketing tool to sell an inferior product. Perhaps I'm mistaken?
 
Well the products may carry Jacques' name on them :p, but they are Sonax products (it even says so on the containers), which some people seem to like. David sells some Sonax stuff too and it seems to be a higher-end product line.
 
Sonax now is sponsoring McLaren instead of BAR. Wonder if that means theyll have David Coultard waxes out next year. Or even a Kimi Raikonnen line.

What part of Canada. Canada is a big place. Driving habits vary a lot across the country. I'm not sure if the flashing green lights mean the same in other provinces, but I imagine they do. In Québec a flashing green light means that turning left or right has priority. It's used instead of the green arrows, even though we use those too.

Yes I agree, for example turning right on a red light is permitted in all provinces except for Quebec (actually, this recently changed but I understand the no-right-turn-on-red still applies to Montreal)



Out West we don't use flashing green just the arrows so there is no confusion that way out here.



Back to the topic. I wonder if only certain Canadian Tire stores are carrying Sonax because I haven't seen it in Calgary.
 
It is only certain Canadian Tires - ironically it wasn't one of the newer cookie cutter stores but one of the smaller ones.
