I just got back from Big Lots, wasn't impressed with the Turtle Wax stuff. So I did see the Nascar Ultra Shine Tire Dressing that Scottwax always recommended, how on earth can you go wrong for $3???

Also got some Rubbermaid 11L plastic buckets to seperate out my dirty from my clean MFs. They were $2 a piece.

Really, I was rather impressed with the MF applicators they had.. I cleaned them out

The tire dressing apps are also nice, they are too big but can be cut in half and will be perfect..

I have so much tire dressing that I have no business buying more....

I cut them into 4 pieces. They look like you'd be able to use them on a diesel truck tire.

I bought some of the towels. They're okay for all-purpose work.

I was just there last week and they didn't have much. Other than the Meguiars tire brushes with no handle. I thought that was odd. I will have to stop in there more often. Thanks for the heads up!

I've picked up Megs gold classs sheep skin wash mits there for like 2 bucks each or something... For as much as I spend on detailing products, I still like going to Big Lots to find some nice stuff...

They do have good bargains there. I wish they would bring the Megs brushes back!

I just got back from Big Lots.

The TW MF applicators are nice at $1.70 for 2 of them. I bought 3 packs. They feel really nice and are a real nice size.

The MF towels they had felt about the same as the costco ones, but had a wicked tag sewn on.

The MF wash mit seemed ok, but the sheepskin wash mit was garbage.

All IMHO of course.

I went to big Lots today and bought one of those Meguiar's brushes with no handle, I was tell you guys about. It was marked 2.99. I thought it was for tires, however the package says All surface interior brush. It only rang up 1.50. I was honest and told the lady, but she said she didn't care the computer says 1.50 so 1.50 it is. So I went back and got the last 3 they had. Here is a pic incase you guys are interested. You might luck out if you have a Big Lots around you.


I am not sure what I need with four of these but heck they will keep!
