Best Automotive store to pick up supplies? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Re~Mix · 08-01-2013, 05:45 PM

Hi all,

Looking to pick up some microfiber towels, a new wash mitt, clay bar and citrus degreaser. Generally I would order things online but time is of the essence and I need to complete so quick TLC this weekend.

So, which shops do people recommend to find all these things (and not in a shotty brand)? AutoZone, O'Reilly, Pep Boys, or a regular hardware store?

Much appreciated.

Advance auto parts sells Griots Garage products. I've always liked Griots products very much.

Otherwise, Adams is great too. You can hunt down a local dealer here:

Meguires higher end stuff is good for the price as is Mothers. You can find them at almost any auto parts places

Depending on the brands you want, those retailers are really all the same. You can get all of that and probably the same brands at Walmart.

Looking for brands I won't regret using on the car. Perhaps its best to order online and wait a bit for the wash

The cheapest one...

You can get Meguiars, Mothers, and a couple more decent brands at Walmart, and usually adequate microfiber towels.

Detailers domain, they have everything.

Though my credit card will never work with them...

I decided to pick up a whole slew of things and online and get the bare essentials this weekend. I couldn't resist premium products at generic pricing

I use Griot's for almost everything and as mentioned you can get it at Advanced Auto Parts; including the Gallon sized...
