View Full Version : new product in dollar store
Ok,
Put this down in the "There`s a sucker born every minute..." category, but at the dollar store today I bought this pack of sealant called Car Kote from Protec with 3 small 4 oz bottes of stuff (all for a buck of course!). A precleaner, a sealant and a paint conditioner.
Anyone have any idea what this is?
I know I don`t need more product, but for a buck???
How could I resist it?

you did the right thing. Use these on a buddys car or something before you use them on a car you care about. Its only fair!

I used something sounding very simular about 10 years ago and beyond, from Protec Polishing Systems. It was amazing stuff. It had the precleaner, for paint prep, back then very little was clear coated, and it removed oxidation very well. You mixed all three products together on an orbital after the pre-treat, and worked it in on a velour bonnet. It was quarenteed for 5 years on a new car and i can say that it did last for at least 2 years, as i did the product on friends and family, they all sold them before 5 years so i can`t say for sure if it lasted for 5. I have never had as much repeat or people ask for anything since. period!

That was actually the same stuff that the Lexus dealership tried to sell me as thier "paint protection system".
Except they wanted something more than a dollar! ;)

The dollar store is a fantastic place. You would be surprised the amount of products that are in there just minus the big budget packaging; P&G, Nabisco, Lever..just to name a few.

Hmm, do they make car care products?

I know Dollar General does....:up
Actually, there was a lot of interesting stuff. I got a few packs of glass wipes and car wet wipes (nice for cleaning crud off the bumpers) as well as antibacterial hand wipes to leave in the car. All told, with the Car Cote, not a bad haul for $6.

Yes, with the applicator pad completely submerged in it. I detailed someone`s vehicles that had that stuff. Lol... I recognized the packaging immediately. I have heard of people finding eagle one tireswipes in dollar stores which is a pretty good idea.

Eagle One tireswipes, applicators, and other supplies can be found there. Great bargain; I especially like Dollar Tree stores for inexpensive tools, super glue and the like.
