Interesting .. I wonder who will suffer?

Right now I don't use much of either of thier products outside of the #21 and to me Duragloss #105 could replace that .

Even more interesting for me Dale. Ive never liked the way Megs caters to the "other than Walmart" resellers...........
This may open the door for me a little wider.

Hopefully .. and up here in CanaDUH its even worse .. seems like just a couple chains like "Lordco" carry the pro line and a bottle of #21 is in the area of 2 x what it is from Megs in the US.

And the OTC stuff is carried by WalMart and Canadian Tire.

Do a search on Canadian tire then browse the auto section and look at the wax prices.

See if this link gets you close

My friend bought a bottle of Megs wax (don't ask me what kind) that smells like banana laffy taffy...no joke. He paid me to detail his Dark Toreador Red 2007 Ford Focus and I used that wax per his request. Not only is it slick as snot but the water beads up better than anything I've seen to date.

Now granted I'm still chomping at the bit to try Patrick's UPP but that's for another day...
