Default Where to buy car wash materials?

Is there a local place I can go to buy ONR (Optimum No Rinse)?

If not, where can I go online to find good pricing for ONR, microfiber cloths, tire cleaner, etc etc?

After reading a bunch of car wash horror threads, I think I'm going to wash my car myself.

Not to threadjack, but where can you get decent wax and not too expensive? (not trying to be a show car)

Costco used to sell Maguire but they don't anymore..

Why dont you support our vendors here on CL? This amazing site is free and the vendors pay to keep it that way. If you support our vendors, they will continue to sponsor CL. Easy to see how everyone benefits from this cycle. As far as i know, our detailing vendors are as follows:

Glimmer Glass Detailing

Detailers Domain

On top of that, these guys frequent our forums and answer our detailing questions for FREE, which is priceless. I have supported all 3 of these sponsors and have had nothing short of a remarkable experience with all 3. They also provide us with daily discount codes and if you are patient enough, they have some INCREDIBLE sales on occasion (usually around the holidays ) Hope this helps.

We have plenty of ONR in stock

You can find the 32oz size here: 32oz ONR
Or you can purchase gallons here:
128oz ONR

Our Microfiber products can be found here:
Microfiber Towels, Waffle Weave Drying Towels and Microfiber Detergent

And lastly, for tire cleaners and dressings, check out this link:
Wheel Cleaners & Tire Dressings
Personally, I like either Poorboys Bold n Bright or Optimum OptiBond Tire Gel for the dressing. If you need a tire cleaner, Poorboys APC or Optimum PowerClean both work very well.

Feel free to use the Clublexus coupon code as well

you can most of the standard stuff at wal mart, but for the best stuff you usually have to goto their web site and order direct
