    Hey guys,

    I think we should start a thread (this one) that lists all local or OTC deals for Canada. With the exchange rate depreciating 25% over a 1 year span, that hurts everyone who orders from anywhere over the border.

    Even if we order from eShine, it hurts us because Chris has to pay higher fees for some of his stuff too.

    So, as a way of battling this instability, I think we should really exploit a lot of the deals that places like Canadian Tire, Wal-Mart, Part Source, Autogeek, Autopia, etc. have on products shipped to Canada.

    I have a lot of under priced or clearance stuff from Canadian tire that I depend on. My pressure washer was $99 from $299 3 years ago, I got a bunch of AA tire foam for engine dressing, wheel wells, for under $1 a can.

    Anyways, I'll post deals periodically and hopefully we can all take advantage. If you guys see anything, whether it's local or not, please post it, because with only like 2 real months of summer, business and pleasure (detailing pleasure) is hard to come by up here in Canada...

    Canadian tire has over the counter wax applicators. Check out the auto section. I believe Napa may carry meguiar wax applicators.

    Cheers,

    I believe he is referring to the suction capability of the vacuum.
