Best yet, you drop the DP mints and the OG wow's in a bucket and then Heather and Richard pop out of the bucket and do your car for you. Yep, that would be the best!!

I'm right there in the same boat with you LynnEl. I just recently had my second (spare) bottle of Black Wow delivered, so I have two bottles to go through.

dont understand why some of you need to 'stock-up' on these
things. let the store keep it in-stock as your warehouse and
you just buy them a week or so in advance before you run out.

i never buy more than i need.

I don't stock up. I have 1 bottle. But, s'pose you order and they are on back-order because, umm, maybe their new bottles didn't come in yet?

Haha, I was going to post something about that--glad you brought it up instead. They actually overnight the box in that foam crate with the ice packs...guess potential liability outweighs even their own marketing.

Haha you guys are too funny. That sure would make travelling easier!

Sometimes a deal is too good to pass up, and other times, the store ..i.e. ME, may not have the product in stock when you are ready to buy. So I can understand the reasoning.

but at retail price it's still a bargain right?

how much are some of you guys using? cause ive only done one app
still and it doesn't look like will be doing any apps for another 2-3 weeks.
yes, my car is garaged and not driven in the rain/washed, but still...
this stuff lasts forever.

Help! Don't leave a candy jar full of M&M's on your desk. My "WoW tablets" are disappearing two at a time! Everytime I look at the jar, it still looks full--so 2 more won't hurt!

Well I DO have 8 other unopened bags sitting on ice.

whole box by yourself.

I know. I need to hide them. These are bad. All the weight I've lost detailing are just coming back! Time to get back to work!

My original point exactly. I'll never get any of these damn candies. I hope you DO get fat, OG!.

I see your point and I see your logic.

Unforunately sometimes you can never have enough of a good thing :D!!!

For most my detailing products I have a double on hand just in case.

ANd Richard, maybe one day you can score a deal to have Watermelon Jolly Ranchers sent out with Black Wow!!!

Or would you just eat the whole box upon arrival since you're an addict !!!

I'm probably going to need a second bottle sooner than I thought.

Hubby and I are going to have to have a talk about "how often Black WOW is necessary"...

I bought a second bottle because it is a great product and I wanted to take advantage of the price savings. If I remember right I believe the price will be higher starting with the next batch.

Also, at the moment I'm only using it on my wife's R53. I'll be taking delivery on my R56 in about three weeks so I'll have two vehicles to use it on and thus probably go through it twice as fast.

And as others have said, there may be the possibility of Richard being out of stock when I absolutely need another bottle .

all these excuses are fine, but you can't ignore the truth that you're
just buying more for OG's health. You don't want OG turning into a
flat blob from the M&M's and him telling you he can no longer effectively
detail cars.

see...now everything is clear and we can move on.



hummmm.... jolly ranchers would be kinda nice.

He will be too busy filling orders to sit at his pc, munching away on MY M&M's.

Are the Wow Tablets coated with carnuba wax, or synthetic?
