Auto Geek has it for the same price but you can get free shipping with code ship50


You also get a free micro fiber rag (although that's worth about $.50)

22PLE is a great coating. the gloss level is ridiculous, but it's not permanent 2yrs max. OC 2.0 is permanent and more durable.

I did a search and detailedimage.com has it. I have not bought stuff from them but it looks like they have a good selection of everything. I agree with Syd. OC 2 is probably a better choice although 22PLE gives you the amazing glossy look. At some point I will get OC 2 to replace my 22PLE.
A side note, I don't know what it is. Maybe Syd can chime in. It rained yesterday. I walked towards my car expecting it to be covered with dust and water spots. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it looked almost as clean as when I left the house in the morning I'm not sure if the air was clean yesterday or it's what I have on my car. I've had 22PLE for a few months now, been washing with ONR and also applied SNS over it. Could this be the long term effect of 22PLE?

it's the SNS... amazing stuff . the ONR probably had a hand in it also, but the SNS is amazing. glad to hear you're coming over to the dark side (OC 2.0). then you'll really see the ONR/ONRWW shine. i just ordered opti-clean and a gallon of ONRWW. i'm hooked.

Actually was wondering if when this stuff arrives do you think my car will stop looking like crap when it rains. I swear every time it rains my car looks like straight crap, like I drove it through mud, for some reason I don't think that is normal when I see other cars that look clean still after it rains

after you apply the OC 2.0, wait about 7 days before you wash her and then apply a coat of Sonax Polymer Net Shield. You'll def see the difference. I had a LP loaner and applied SNS on the passenger side front fender. After a day of rain the treated side had a few beads of water and was still clean as opposed to the untreated drivers fender which had hella water on it and did not look clean. Took pics but deleted them... Something told me I would need them.

After reading many threads from you guys, i ordered about $600 of stuff for my starter kit, including the 22ple. I missed the SNS. What's SNS? I think I need some.

If i have to polish & seal once a year, that works. I'm not sure i want a permanent sealant. It probably won't turn out to be permanent any way.
