*Black Wow* Now Available at Detailers Paradise!

After numerous NAMer requests to do so, I am happy to announce that Detailers Paradise now carries OctaneGuy's famous Black Wow!

Although I'm sure many of you are already familiar with this magical exterior trim sauce, for a full description, please visit our website:

Black Wow at DP




Black Wow is available online, by phone and at our retail store in Denver.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

-Heather

Silly, a gallon of BW would be able to be past on to your children's children, and they still would not be able to use it all up.

I must say, BlAcK WoW is the shiznit!

I liken it to a product back around 2001 that I used "Black Again".

I'm very hard to impress and that little orange pea sized marvel that spreads on black trim does an awfully impressive job!

1) no, back to black is a dust magnet and leaves behind sticky residue
that transfer to your hands/cloths. and washes off quickly.

BW dries to the touch and lasts a long time through washes.

2) yes, that is well known here as well.

If you have a NAM calender, it's 15% off month at DP

I wish they included BW in the Paradise Super Bundle!
I am about to make my first "detailing" purchase and the Super Bundle looks like the way to go.

Just send them an email and/or include it in your order comments. They'll be happy to substitute Black Wow for the Wizard's Black Renew. It'll cost you a bit more, but the Black Wow'll be discounted at the same rate as everything else.

You tell me, oh Ken of Kens, but if you had to pick one I'd say Black Wow, right?

We are probably going to be adding this as an add-on option sometime soon. In the meantime though... (see below)

...yes, you can just send us an email or better yet include a note in the Order Notes section at final checkout which states your substitution. We'll charge you the difference separately but we're happy to make the switch if that's what you'd like.

I am going with Ken's advice and use the Wizard stuff on the wheels.
Just ordered my Super Bundle with a side of Black Wow!

Can't wait to get it!

Thanks for the advice,
Ty

When we take phone orders, maybe we should start asking, "Would you like Black Wow with that?" at the end of every order!

I like that... "Super Bundle with a side of Black Wow"

The bottle of BW on the website looks like about 24oz. It's not until way down at the bottom that it say 4oz!

So I figured Ken's idea was on the money.

I was up-sold!
