Meguiars Final Inspection available from a national chain?

**imported_NHBFAN** · 07-18-2003, 03:14 PM

I purchased FI online and really like it. Can`t find it at Walmart, K-mart, etc ...

Does anyone know of a national retailer that carries FI?

I don`t think a national retailer carries #34 FI in terms of the Autozone, Pep boys (have seen #7, #9, #26 in some), Wal-mart, K-mart type stores.

www.meguiars.com and search for a Mirror Glaze dealer in your area, then make some calls. Mostly Body shops and the like have them. Check for gallon sizes too, cheaper around $20.

Yeah, I`ve seen #7, and #26 at PepBoys. Thought FI might be offered at some parts outlet.

NAPA carries it by the pint or the gallon in NC.

Pep Boys used to carry Megs FI. However, they had a huge clearance sale on the product when they decided to stop selling it. I picked up like 8 bottles back then.

I believe they still sell the Quick Detailer version in theh maroon bottle.

You can get Megs Quick Detailer at Wal-Mart, same as FI.

Deanski,

You can`t get FI in New Orleans at Walmart. I`ve checked a few stores with no luck.

The Meguiars quick detailer in the red bottle is available from Target. I bought some there a couple of weeks ago.

Is 34/FI really the same product as the consumer line quick detailer in the red bottle?

I havent used the red bottle in a long time but I dont remember it being anywhere near as good. Has anyone ever really looked into this?

Thanks

Quick Detailer and final Inspection are not the same. I believe this has been discussed before...you can use search button. Quick Detailer contains silicones while Final Inspection does not.

Like Pats300ZX said, Pep Boys used to sell FI, but not anymore. These days I pick up FI at a chain called CarQuest, but I don`t know how widespread these stores are. I am located in Southern California.

The Pep Boys by me still carries it. However, the performance store at the mall by me carries Clearkote`s Quikshine which I greatly prefer....and at $11 a quart, it is cheaper than $6.99 a pint Pep Boys or Autozone sells FI for.

Still, I used FI with great success until I came across QS.

Hi Scott,

It doesn`t matter to me which quick detailer a Pro like you chooses to use, but just to clarify...

A-33 Quik Detailer available at Automotive and Mass Market Retailers. Approximate retail price is $5.00 for 16oz This product is NOT paintable.

M-34 Final Inspection availabe at most PBE stores, (Paint, Body & Equipment store, the stores that sell paint to your local body shops). Approximate retail price $6.00 for 16oz, and $22.00 for a gallon. This product IS paintable and is for use in "Body Shop Environments".

D-51 Final Detail available at PBE and Detail Supply outlets. This product IS NOT paintable. Approximate price for 1 gallon is $17.00

D-51 will give you the most gloss and slickness out of these three mist & wipe products.

FYI
