Detailing Treats--WOW tablets!

Look what the nice UPS man brought me today! They weren't cheap, but neither are quality detailing goodies! On your next order, look for some sweet Wow tablets in your box! Of course this offer is limited by how long I have them!

In case anyone's thinking how come I didn't use black M&M's with white printing--which is what I really wanted--it's because the website didn't offer white printing for the custom stuff--only black printing and thus the colors that would read well with black printing.

Also, they wanted two lines of printing--the other line was supposed to be WOW ME, but they probably thought it was too commercial sounding. The trick to doing these is you can't have product names, company names, anything dealing with race, etc.. So BLACK WOW was out of the question.

My next order?? But I just got my bottle of WOW! By the time I use that up, these will be gone (and we will be colonizing Mars).

But in all seriousness....I just got a bottle of BW last week for the purpose of sweetening up the black plastic saddlebags on my BMW R1150RT. They tend to wash out to gray over time from UV, especially the top surfaces. I completed one bag a few nights back and I'll post some images to illustrate the amazing difference BW made in the finish. The untreated bag looks....well, old.

A great product worth every cent of it's cost. With or without M&Ms

So OG, does this mean you have Black Wow to sell again?

Nice promo, I might just 'bite'.

Thanks! I'm just gearing up right now. I will have some stock next week in the old packaging. Ok, I know this is going to sound kinda lengthy, but anyone that's done any manufacturing will understand--i.e. Heather... The new bottles are being manufactured and won't be ready for probably another week, but the BW arrived yesterday, waiting for me to fill the new bottles.

I still have a few of the old bottles, so I might just make those available until the new bottles can replace them. I'm also waiting for a special sealing machine that's coming from the UK.....long story--short answer---yeah I should have a few extra bottles very soon.

Better include instructions with those M&M's! Someone might think its WOW in a tablet form and stick them in a bucket of water before applying !?!?
Just got my order today in the post...will put some on tonight and be amazed. Sure wish I had the tablets though...bet they last a lot longer than that little bottle!

They are actually mind altering drugs disguised as M&Ms which will entice those who eat them to buy more detailing supplies. It's a conspiracy.

Haha good point! It's like when I got those mints from DetailersParadise. I actually never ate them cause they looked like some detailing item, like maybe mint scented water purification tablets or something.

FWIW, since they allowed two lines, I almost put WOW MOM so that they could be read in any orientation, but then I thought WOW MOM sounded kinda funny.

My MOM passed away long ago.... not that she's not still with me--but that's a different forum.

re: Peanut M&M's
Oh I love those, but no, they weren't offered. Maybe one day! LOL

Same here ! You drop it into a bucket, put a spritz Hydro on it and it will open into an applicator pad soaked with WOW (plus the Hydro smell)

and it turns into Hydro.
