I just heard back from them. It's in stock, but they have no labels, so they temporarily pulled it from the site.

I should know this, but what is the lowest temp that you can use Hydro? Winter is approaching and during the winter, I wash my car down to 40 degrees ( I've tried doing it above freezing when it is 35 degrees but ice will still form on the car, so 40 degrees is safer) but can you use Hydro at 40 degreees?

I got plenty in stock, and you're supporting both DP and myself when you purchase from my site.

Last I saw on FB, OG was still enjoying Bali.

On topic, Hydro seems to be good in the garage even when it is in the 'teens' outside.

I used Slick tonight, 4:15ish in the garage, 35deg. outside, it wiped a bit harder than normal, but came off with a second towel wipe down.

honestly Prima products work very well in freezing temps. just keep the lid open and microwave it for 15seconds and use it while warm.

Oh you have?? I'm sorry! I've been gone since Nov. 25 and will be gone until Dec. 19, but that shouldn't stop you from ordering from the store. I have a full time employee and the shop's been open as usual. Unfortunately, the XP's cost a bit more than the 7424's but I've maintained the same price as before, and even then, it was impossible to offer any discounts on it.

I believe I have one or two still in stock, so order ASAP if you want it by Christmas.
