to 4/20...wait another 2-3 weeks and it will push out again.

I'd like to see that bag in person before I ordered it. But it's probably a lot better than the cardboard box packed with stuff that I took to Vegas.

^^ or you can get some cool containers at the containerstore with a lid and all. best thing about plastic containers is that you can wash them and
easy to open/close. i keep everything in containers whenever possible
especially to keep dust out.

Yeah, that's probably a good idea. I keep everything in a cabinet in my garage but this was the first time I'd had to take it all on the road and when it came time to pack I was like "hmmm..." lol

The only thing I had on hand was a cardboard box and it worked fine. I took 5 bottles of assorted stuff and a gazillion assorted MFs and it worked out okay. Looked crappy, but worked out okay.

I wonder if that Griot's bag dismantles for washing...

I like the air version but I'm afraid of controlling it. How do you control the speed on the pneumatic version??

Hmm. Interesting.

I have a PC anyway but it's good to know if it burns out someday.

Yeah I'm going to order the Griot's one today. I don't know if it will hold my DP bottles though. I guess if not I'll just return it.

it should... my griot's bottles (16oz) are about the same diameter
if not the same as the prima bottles.

The bag came today, and it is verrrrrry nice. It holds bottles of Prima stuff just fine. The 3" RO that I ordered is, of course on back order.

And my husband thinks I'm insane.

im going to be order my next gallon of SpeedShine pretty soon.

im also thinking about getting another 16oz bottle of their Car Wash....
was re-using my bottle as a gauge but yesterday while I was using it
the cap failed and the damn thing started leaking out the sides into
a huge blobby slippery mess... not sure wat happened.

still waiting for that 3" orbital to change to in-stock! but i may just wait
until later on this summer to get it cause im pretty much done as far
as detailing my hobby cars. my daily drivers i'll do some minor swirl
removal but my 6" will do just fine for that.
