  • Local Source for Ultimate Protectent?

    WHere have you guys had luck in finding UP locally? Which chains are carrying it? So far I have tried Wal Mart, O'Rielys and Auto Zone. WHile I don't mind making an order with ADS to get some, I don't need any other supplies ATM, so I don't want to pay shipping on just one item and due to a tight budget, I can't add a few random goodies as I usually would to justify paying for shipping.

    The only place I found UP was at Auto Zone around Valentine's Day. They actually had most of the 2010 line which is a shocker since it took all the stores around here until May or June to stock up on the 2009 line. That being said, I haven't seen it anywhere else except online.
    For those who fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected will never know.

      I've purchased 3 bottles of it at Advanced Auto Parts, haven't seen it anywhere else yet.

        Advance, AutoZone, O'Reilly's/CSK, Pep Boys are all carrying UP, but keep in mind, since it is a new product, it takes a bit of time to end up on the shelf.

        What you may do is speak with the store manager at the store / location closest to you and ask him when UP and other "new items" will be going up on the shelf.

          I went to the bank this morning to make a deposit for the company. I forgot there is a Pep Boys right across the street. I popped in thinking it was going to be a wasted trip, but I did manage to find a bottle there. It was way up high on the very back of a shelf. I think a person of average height would have missed it.

                  I'm guessing Target won't have product on the shelf?

                    That was going to be my next place to try.

                    I had considered just cleaning the exterior trims with APC and sealing them with 26 since I have a bottle and it dries clear. I'm glad I found the UP so I don't have to worry about it
