    Strolled in tonight, thought I would share. For all you that are not close to a Harbor Freight, AG now supposedly does price matching.

    Aquapel was $4.

    Hehe, I picked up 2 bottles of 845 and 4 boxes of Aquapel. Pretty much took what was left in the store :giggle:

    You guys are lucky to find 476 though...

    I think the sales are regional. My HF still have them at regular price.

    The other Harbor Freight has much more Collinite selection, this one is in a better neighborhood so more sales. The one on the South side of town, they have tons and tons of Collinite. Might as well stock up, right? I only have three pots of 476 now!!!

    closest one to me is an hour away. I visited one for the first time on Friday. Picked up 845 (13.99), 476 (9.72), a wheel brush (for the barrels), and some flitz sample packets. I was wondering about the Aquapel. Good stuff?

    I just stopped by the Harbor Freight store in Roanoke, Virginia and found a tin of 476s for $7. I don't know when I will use it (maybe next fall), but I had to buy one.

    I guess I'll wrap it up in cellophane, put it in a ziplock freezer bag, and store it in my closet, right along with my tins of Harly Wax and M16. :)

    Picked up a bottle of 845 at my local - 1.5hrs away - HF.
    Did anyone else notice that the bottles didn't appear to be completely full, and even varied from one to another in color , consistancy and volume?:shead: Maybe it's just me and my old eyes. :crasy:
    Still a heck of a deal. Thanks for sharing with us P1et! :headbang:

    Did you manage to have a peak at the bottom of your bottle, to see the date which it was produced? Mine was from earlier this year, so still quite fresh...

    I purchase my bottle several months ago, and it does not have a date printed on the bottom of the bottle.

    One thing for sure, the stuff needs to be shaken and shaken and then shaken some more in order to bring about its proper creamy consistency.

    I just picked up a can of 476 today for $7 at HF. I used a 15% off coupon so you really can't beat $5.95 for Colly.

    Wow, where did you get the coupon from?

    I couldn't locate a date on either of my bottles either? :shead: The bottle I am using now was purchased this summer, the most recent just Sunday.

    I hear ya about the shaking thing. :waiting2:

    The bottles of 845 my store had on the shelf appeared to be "almost paste wax" consistancy including noticeable color variation.

    I picked up 2 bottles and shook them up while shopping the rest of the store. I am sure that people thought I had lost it. :crasy:
    After about 10min, 1 of the bottles was getting close to normal while the other was still thick. I placed the thick bottle back on the shelf and picked up another and that's when I discovered the rest of the stock didn't appear to have the same amount of product.

    I wrote it off as not really needing to purchase 9 bottles of Collinite and called it a day. :thud: I am not saying anything is wrong with the wax, just wondering if anyone else experienced the same thing? :shrug:

    If you sign up in the store they send you a bi weekly circular. Every once in a while they have a 15% off coupon on the back...:applause2:

    DLR - Which HF did you go to? I looked on their website and there appears to be one on the NE side of Indy but I just haven't made it up there.
