3D Pink Soap??

[Accumulator]

tom p.- OK, gotcha. With regard to not-bodyshop-friendly shampoos, I tend to forget about W&W products.



Oh, and that`s interesting about the Cquartz and ONR.

`just wanted to point out and it may be a monthly special, but the 3D Pink Car Soap is on sale for $10.99 a gallon and $39.99 for the five gallon pail. one helluva deal! for those of you who like CG`s maxi suds or any other pink car soap, this is every bit as good if not better...

[David Fermani]

Thanks for the heads up Al! That`s about as cheap as you`ll ever see for a gallon of quality soap.`

What`s the current shipping-cost situation at 3D?` That`s a good price on the 5 gallons, but I`m leery of paying a bundle to get it here...

[Ben@3D]

The price to ship a 5 gallon to Ohio is $38 with FedEx. You could see this as doubling the price of the product, but it really is not a lot of money for what you are getting. You have to look at the price per oz.


`


It`s only 6 cents per oz to ship this 5 gallon. If you include the sale price of the product, you are paying 12 cents an oz. This is an extremely low price for a high quality, concentrated soap.


`


The cheapest possible rates available for anyone is normally USPS Flat Rate Boxes for smaller packages.


`


A small flat rate box for 9 oz of product is $5.80 or $1.55 an oz to ship. Add $4 for the product,you are paying $1.08 an oz.


A large flat rate box for a gallon is $17.45 or 13.5 cents an oz to ship.. Add $11 for the product and you are paying $.22 cents an oz


`


With this special, you are getting a nice soap shipped to your door for only 12 cents an oz. This is an amazing deal for someone who does a lot of washes.

Ben@Autopia- That`s not a bad shipping charge (I`m not at all conversant on shipping rates, had no idea what it`d come to).` And yeah, the bottom-line cost is very appealing.


`


EDIT:` Heh heh, I`d just recently told Tom P. how I wasn`t gonna be spending money on detailing supplies in the foreseeable future, but I now have a 5 gallon pail of this stuff en route.` I don`t expect it to replace my GG entirely, and I won`t even be opening it until I use up a few gallons of other shampoos, but that really is an attractive price and I put a lot of stock in Bill D.`s opinion of it.

[David Fermani]

Man, 5 gallons would last me a long while! You`re gonna be knee deep in suds. Let us know what you think of it if you don`t mind.`

[Bill D]

I still have sine left and I continue to think highly of it. I wash exclusively with a foam gun and it produces plenty of suds. If encourage anyone to give it a shot. You won`t be disappointed

David Fermani- Well, I won`t be getting around to trying it for a while as I really do need to clear out some of my, uhm..accumulated products.`


`


It`ll be interesting to see how long it does last me; I don`t wash all that often (at least not compared to more Autopian members here) but when`I do, I`go through a *LOT* of shampoo.` Each foamgun gets an initial allocation of one gallon of mix (never enough when doing the Tahoe), which is ~6.5 oz of shampoo/gallon mix.` Plus, add in`what`s in the spray bottle I use use for wheels/well-lips, and the wells/undercarriage of the good vehicles (takes lots to do the whole underneath of a Crown Vic).`

`couldn`t resist, picked up a gallon today - excellent price for a quality soap...
