Went to OSH and picked up a Zymol "Style" Wool Duster--$8
Went to walmart and got HD Wax+Perfect Palm Applicator--$44

Can't say I could've done any better than that!!

How is that Auto Glym wax? I saw it at Pep Boys and nearly sprung for it but wanted to do the research on it first.

It's excellent. I tried it on a front fender on my car and thought it looked GREAT. Super easy to use too. Best OTC LSP out there, in my opinion.

Yep! With an original price of $120, it's the best deal out there :thumb:

Hmm good to know i was thinking about picking the same wax up. My GF works at Wal-Mart so she get 10% off as well. I like the idea of the duster as well. The next day after cleaning my car its covered in pollen i think this would work great to clean the pollen off

Never seen anything like autoglym at my wal-mart, the most expensive detail supplies they get really are for clay bar kits at wal-mart.
It used to be $120. I almost bought it at that price.

And maybe go check out your wal-mart, it's been well documented on detailing forums to be spreading to all walmart's.

How well does that wool duster work and does it have that static attraction to easily pick up dust? Might just have to stop by and pick up one...
