OctaneGuy's Plastic Trim Sauce--almost there!

Just a little teaser to show you that things are on schedule. Had a small delay today--supplier messed up with the caps--had to hold up manufacturing while I went back and exchanged the right caps. But after a long day, everything got made.

Those that have requested a bottle at MOTD are listed below:

MOTD Pickup

Claimed for MOTD so far: 20 pcs (29 remain)
Whovous
orthomini (Bob)
bamatt
Ords (winner)
cabmeister 4
sagworks
BlimeyCabrio
beanryboy
jeffc
gnatster 3
Frank Matyja
ddminikc - David
paynemdMINI- Art
isamini -Jana
iflymini - Tim (GP)


Shipping
Wannamini
Partsman
VRBeauty 1
Seal6
TulsaMINI #1
UsCoops

Now we just need to fill and label. The gel will be available through the NAM store--but I likely won't be shipping any before MOTD--so if you're attending MOTD, leave a note in the comments section that you will pick it up from me there. I will be bringing a limited supply with me, unless by some miracle, I'm able to overnight them ahead of time--which isn't likely.

WooHoooo!!! We're so excited, can't wait to get the sauce! My trim still looks great from the application at AMVIV except for a couple of new Epic spots, and we've got 3 other vehicles that need desperate help!

I feel like the Open... Open... Open... girl on the Mervyn's commercials....

what schedule? you've been late the whole time.

its unbelieveable how these little private labels can delay things to their
liking while major suppliers like me to fortune 100 companies will be
hung dried until i give them wat they want to hear. lol

Haha, if you haven't realized, I've been trying to make the release coincide with certain national events. AMVIV was unrealistic--I still had testing and finalizing to do. I didn't make it. So MOTD was the next launch date. As I've told countless people for the past several months, this has been the new schedule. So technically it's still on schedule--except the bottle reserved for Ken--that one will take another year to be released.

The retail price will be under $15.

Man Richard you sure had to drink a whole lot of water to accumulate all of those bottles. Can't wait till you fill them with goodness.

Not only is it super dressing, it adds 13.2 horsepower (dyno charts aren't out yet.)
