Autogeek order

At Feb 15th 2012 I and my friend (exactly the same Fabia but sexy red ;-) placed and order at Autogeek in US.

We also checked items at DetailedImage but Autogeek gave better total price. They have discounts almost every day, we got Valentine's Day discount and free shipping in US.

The order:
Qty Product Code Product Name Price, $
1 OPT-900-B 2 Qty of 32oz. Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine 15.99
1 P-13001B 1 Liter P21S Total Auto Wash Spray 17.99
2 303-30350 32 oz. 303 Aerospace Protectant 39.98

1 CCS-APPG 2 Qty CCS Gold Soft Jewelling Applicator Pads 4.99
1 TD-511 Cobra Tire Dressing Pad 2.99

Total is $135.89, paid via PayPal ₪515.81 (PP rate was $1 = ₪3.80).

Autogeek send only in US, so you need virtual mailbox in US to receive the package. I use Shipito for few years already. They charge $8.50 for handling one package and shipping depends on size, weight and destination country.

Feb 16th the 8kg! ;-) package was sent with UPS ground from one side of continent to another, estimate delivery - 10 business days.

We were worried about customs but... Mar 13rd I went to local post office (after getting a notice) and got the package without paying extra money! Fuck yeah!

We split items, and this is what I added to my noob-detailer collection :-)
303 Aerospace Protectant
P21S Total Auto Wash Spray - box
P21S Total Auto Wash Spray
Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine
Mothers Tire Brush
CCS Applicator pads and Cobra Tire Dressing Pad
CCS Red Wax Sealant Applicator Pad


Yesterday I washed the car with Optimum - I happy with results! Recommended dosage: 1 oz to 1 gallon = 30 ml to 4 liters. I checked bottle cap, it's 15 ml - perfect measure. I used 1 cap to 5 liters sprayer.
Notes:
1. I have 1 liter left after wash, so 4 liters instead of 5 as usual to wash a whole car.
2. It's also a quick detailer - car shines more than usual.
3. Less dust collected after few days, but lets see after one week.
4. Dust easily washed out with mixture than just clean water, especially noticeable on near bottom parts of body where sand and other big particles collected. With clean water I was need to spray on this areas much more until it gone.
