Matt,

Based on Jonas' experience I bought a can of it yesterday at Advanced Auto Parts here in Jersey. The people in the store didn't have a clue, but there was a little display on the counter with it. It's $9.95 for a small can.

Do you want me to pick up a can for you and bring it to the NorEaster?
I was considering trying to buy a couple cans & asking Sam to drive them over, though I'm more likely to be able to get them to Jeff (Hardtopguy) before the weekend. Anyone want some?

I'd bet Rick would like to try it. I'll take a can. Let me know who to give $ to.

I bought 4 cans today. One is for a friend, the other three I'll try to get to Hardtopguy so that he can bring them out to you.

Anyone else want one?

Rob,

That is a kind offer. Knowing that the Nor'Easter is days away and that you and Liz are getting ready to host your breakfast gathering. Please do NOT go out of your way to do so. If there is a place that you can pick up a can during your daily commute, I would really appreciate it. But then again please do NOT go out of your way.

As I have stated: I have been pleased with the results of the DuPont Teflon Wheel Cleaner Product to date. But, I am hopeful that the combination will work together.

I just scrolled back in this thread and after viewing the images, I had fleeting thoughts of cancelling our trip to the Nor'Easter .

Up until recently our 2003 S has been my daily driver and it does have over 70K miles on it and is showing it's wear and tear.

But, as a co-worker recently reminded me. After all it is just a car.

And as Rob always reminds us. It is the people that really makes these gatherings special, not the car.

I don't know if you're serious or not, but it really wouldn't be a meet without you. You have to be at the meet. Its the natural order of things.

I'm going to try to stop tomorrow and pick up a few cans incase Jonas can't get his to Hardtopguy.
