All the ones that handle Zep products, including Ace and Lowe's, say they can't special order them - they're just not on their options list or whatever. But Home Depot did say they can, and the fellow just wasn't sure if I'd have to guarantee to buy a whole case (4) or not [Not]. I stopped at multiple auto parts stores today and most don't even carry Zep stuff.
Frustrated, I may just have to bite the bullet and order Zep-O-Shine via Amazon. My new Prime membership means squat, darn it, because it's shipped from a separate vendor. Just seems pretty spendy, as Keith noted, and on top of the $26+ product is another ~$11 or so shipping. Just as important as to whether I order it or not is that it has to come from W. Virginia I think, and won't be here in time for using before we are thinking of traveling - unless of course I upchuck a truly ludicrous amount for 2 day shipping. I wanted to find it locally so I could wash the rig during the cloudy cool-down expected this weekend. Zep in Bremerton can send direct from mfr., but haven't quoted me a price yet.
Between that and a spider bite staph infection threatening my ticker, and a deep teeth prophylaxis this morning, I'm having just a fine day. Fine.
Think I'll go do a single malt, take a breath, and maybe tomorrow will be a different ballgame
