View Full Version : Sonax at Canadian Tire
:bounce
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

They`ll let you post the URL. I think someone posted it to the Good Deals forum already.

Cool. I wasn`t sure, since I got in sh*t for having my URL in my signature line (and I don`t even sell any products) :rolleyes:
Here it is (CT doesn`t have it on their website, this is the Canadian distributor)

thanks!
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.....

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.
