OVERDRIVE
I just bought some Turtle Wax Bug & Tar remover here in California, and it came in a regular pump sprayer rather than the aerosol can I'm used to. I wonder if they got rid of the aerosol can (and associated propellants) in order to maximize the effectiveness of the product while minimizing the VOCs? I've only used it a few times, but it seems to work just fine - certainly as well as the aerosol can I bought many years ago.

Nice post and pix! For those in Socal, lookup Super Autobacs. It's like a super autozone/pep boys/walmart combined. They have a ton of stuff from car care to car parts. I did a promo thing with Meguiar's and c3 back in 2005 during their grand opening. From what I understand, that was modeled after the one in Japan.
Course I haven't been back since that grand opening.

yah in japan, just raise the price and people will think
it's the bestest.
Zymol top of the line $4999 a jar.
Prima Puriimium Kenchan Limited Edishion Hydro $5999 (same Hydro as the one I have in my garage but in a 10layer crystal bottle with carbon fiber spray head
).
then they say "aaaahhh, i must go for the PuriKen"

Sounds very intriguing. A carbon fiber spray head... now that's an idea! -Heather

Thanks for sharing, kurisu! It's fun to see what's available in Japan.
I'm impressed that they have Zymol's premium level products and right next to Zymol's junky products. It's rare to see the premium level products in a store to begin with, not to mention along with the rest!
Fun post!

And as Kenchan said, it does sell here, just because it's expensive...
What surprises me is the lack of truly good quality premium stuff. I guess one of the reasons is those so-called "glass coatings" that they promote at dealerships?

I want this mitt with the MINI on it! I'd keep it in the garage just for display.

It just says you're buying the best turtles money can buy. Fresh out of the water, preserved taste in either paste or creme form. Try it today on American sandwiches (whatever that means... Never seen a non-American sandwich), American Bagles, American French Toast and American PotPies.
