New stuff this year in Canadian retailers

Well, so far this year, I've noticed WalMart is carrying Megs UQD and ColourX. (About the same price as CT has it, so no big savings-ie $12/$13 each). And they seem to have embraced ArmorAll this year as the "accessories" company. (Brushes, mf cloths etc.)

Canadian Tire now has the Mothers Paint Powerball (With sample bottle of FX SynWax!!) for under $30. (Only a dollar different than the regular powerball!) CT also has the Lucas Slick QD. $10. The one I was in seems to be deleting the Eagle One Nanowax and Wax-As-U-Dry lines. Half price.

Eh, I think all that stuff comes out of the same Chinese factory, just the "sponsor" changes from year to year.

Well, sure, but now you can have bright orange accessories instead of the Turtle Wax green they had before. Hey! They may even complement each other!

LOL! So you mean the Big Lots green rectangular TW MF applicators that look just like the white Meg's ones from a couple years ago can now be joined by orange AA ones?

Noticed that too. Happily picked up a UQD bottle. Still waiting for NXT 2.0 though... next year ?

I picked up a retina burning orange microfibre mit this week. I like it a lot. The "dreadlocks" are nice and long and quite soft.

Some of us live near a Harley Davidson dealer and we all know S100 and P21S have a few products that are quite similar. (same???)
The carnaubas by each company is in the same white/blue plastic container.
S100 makes a gel wheel cleaner thats probably a rebranded P21S gel wheel cleaner.
I bought some yesterday, 14 bucks.
So, check out your local Harley dealership (Steve Drane on Cloverdale in Victoria for me). You may discover a few products you won't have to mail order,

NXT 2.0 at the local Walmart here in N.S. Just came in.

How much is the UQD and NXT 2.0 going for? I see approx. figures but nothing exact. Just curious as to how much markup we have over the U.S.

Oops I see in another thread OJ_GTI just mentioned the NXT is almost $25. That's around $10 more than it costs down south... so sad.

Update: I was in a local Super Walmart yesterday and still no NXT 2.0 liquid or paste. They had the original liquid and it was the above price. UQD was $12.97 a bottle. Hmm, guess I won't be buying it here anytime soon.
