  • 99cent Life Saver for Plastic Trim!!!

    Trim Detailer Brush
    I was at the local 99cent store, or make that the "98cent store" here in Los Angeles! It's just off of Sepulveda/Jefferson in Culver City, behind the large ToysRUs and Pier 1 Imports--but don't bother going to look cause I think I bought all the brushes they had--for use in my own clinics! !

    Featured Products:
    Gold Class Trim Detailer

    Does this brush look familiar?

    You can often find similar brushes selling for $5 or more at your local discount store, but instead of a foam pad, they have bristles and are used for washing tires.

    Foam Pad

    When I saw the foam pad, immediately I had visions of using this on the plastic trim of my MINI Cooper. It'd be perfect for applying Meguiar's Trim Detailer without getting my hands dirty or reaching in from awkward angles. Inside wheel wheels, under mouldings, etc.. would be a breeze and best of all no gloves needed either!












    The one thing I've learned about buying products from these places is that you gotta expect them to fail after a few uses, and I soon discovered the failure point was the glue that holds the foam pad in place. But to me this is easily solvable and worth the drawback.

    So keep your eyes open next time your see a dollar store, as you may just find something that proves invaluable!

    Great find OG!

    I've picked up applicators for tires at the dollar stores around here @ 3/$1.00........You know, the ones that have the yellow foam block on top and have the contoured black foam glued to it.

    I see these same items in places like Pep Boys selling for $1.00-$2.00 a-piece!

    Course if you've already bought out their stock, then there's no use in me making the trip out there to get some.

      That would have to be a lot of applicators to make it worth traveling from North Carolina to Los Angeles

          I was just being sarcastic.

          After my earlier post, I now remember seeing this tool in Wal-Mart, but they were asking about 5 dollars or so for it!

          I'll check out the local dollar stores for this product.........There popping up all around here.
