I was at Big Lots yesterday looking through their selection of car care products. I was suprised to see Long Haul polish/wax, tire sealant for $3 a bottle. I used this stuff about a year ago and liked it and paid like $7 a bottle. Has this stuff gone off the market?

it`s looks as long haul is no longer. i tried calling the 866 number and e-mailing them only to have the phone number be disconnected and have the e-mail sent back to me.... the two products i really like from them are the bug degreaser and truck gloss (i stocked up). as scottwax pointed out, they had bad marketing...

Pep Boys is closing their stuff out too. I`m going to snag some QD at $5 a bottle (28 oz) and another bottle of the polish/wax for $5. Decent OTC stuff.

scott, go to big lots and get the qd as it`s only $3 there...

I am not impressed with the tire shine, it has very little gloss and stains the rims.

I saw it there and passed cause I didn;t knwo what it was, figured it was some cheapo brand.
What ones should I go back and buy?

My Pep Boys was clearing Long Haul out for $2 a bottle. I stocked up.
Truck Polish and Wax--above average one step
Truck degreaser-- not super powerful, maybe a good thing, and it has a non-offensive odor
Truck Gloss-- this stuff is really good, imho much better than Megs or Mothers
At these prices you can`t go wrong.

I just picked up 3 bottles of the degreaser @ $3 each, at Big Lots. I stood there and debated the polish/wax for a long time - they had a bunch - but finally passed since I`m completely unfamiliar with it. I`m interested though - Scottwax, if you see this, can you compare it to, say, ColorX? LH is a one-step, right? Thanks.

I was in Pep Boys today and they still have the entire Long Haul line at full price. I was in RS Strauss and it seems they are cleaning out the LH stuff. The QD was on sale for $4. The other products didn`t seem to be on sale (ie. Cleaner Wax/Polish was $8)

Got it! 2 spray gloss, 2 tire dressings (I`ll use this for wheel wells and engines), 1 degreaser, those were all $3, one polish was $5. I got thinking, even if I only use half of what I got, it`s still saving money and the Spray gloss stuff will be good and cheap to give small bottles out to my families` cars I do for their upkeep.
I used the gloss a little and seemed to work and look just fine!
