Title: Heads Up Halfords **Offer** Car Cleaning Products...
Post by: Mr.OmegaMan on 08 September 2013, 01:59:21
3 for the price of 2 on a already discounted product was £7.99 now £1 with the 3 for 2 offer on top. Have pre-ordered what's left at my local Halfords x10 bottles £79.90 worth for £9.00  :y

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_241321_langId_-1_categoryId_165682

As far as I know this offer is for "Turtle Wax" and "AutoGlym" products... But not everything has been reduced to £1 though  :-\ and most stores will probably be sold out or low on stock, Best to reserve..

There's been a fair few offers on Halfords recently  ???

Best of luck...

dont see any point--waste hours of your life cleaning car-just so it looks nice for 10 minutes---pointless exercise---soon as you drive it-dirty again---thats whyi laugh at classic shows-all them owners polishing-and 5 minutes later dusty again ;D ;D ;D

Wash the cars, every couple of months or so. Good chance to give them a good look over, always nice to enter a clean car which has been hoovered too.

Always like to wash car for an MOT too, just picked mine up on way to the office, not bad this little lot for £4 in total!

Shouldn't 6 have been £4 plus 5p for the bag Mr Emd  ::)

Come to think of it shouldn't my 10 have been £8   :-X ;D

Either way still a good deal, Did anyone else notice some bottles where kinda yellow when the rest where blue as in Tunnie's picture. I got 8 blue and 2 yellow. The product smells the same maybe sun damage or just old stock even.

Will be trying some this week  :y

those that order multipuls of 3 only pay for 2 the 3rd is free the error was to ask for 10 as 12 would have been £8 still a saving which ever way you look at it

So went to pick my 12 up this afternoon, and the Muppets have lost them or given them to someone else, anyway manager gets involved and say's should have some more out the back, and sure enough produces another 10, some clear, some green, some marked Shampoo and some called Wash, when I quizzed Him, He said its all the same stuff but its the clear that we should be getting rid off first.

Apparently the Clear stuff if more like a Gel, but the Bottles would leak or get hairline cracks in them and the stuff would get everywhere and become a slip hazard, the newer bottles are slightly different designed, stronger and and have more coloured contents in them 500ml compared to 470ml, so theres a bit of useless info for you.

The Manager apologised for the mix up and gave me the 10 for £6, when it should have been £6.67, bonus.  :y

Overall a good outcome then Zirk  8) :y

I had a similar experience not as bad, I reserved 10 at a store that had them Saturday night and had a text and a email confirmation, Following morning Sunday around 11am had a missed call with a voicemail, Saying that they only have 8 left today and Monday they'd have 10 maybe, So I went to the shop either way thinking 8 is better than nothing attitude and they had 10 and there was no mention of that phone call  ???

Washed the Elite today and its good stuff really bubbles up nicely and as it says on the bottle doesn't leave many water spots especially on a waxed car  :y

14.5L bucket 5 cap full's and mixed with hot/warm water then with cold hose water, Lambs wool mitt and scrub away  ;D

Yes first one I was offered today leaked and had a crack in the cap.

For some unknown reason Halfords only had four of the six I reserved.

I ended up paying £2.68 in total.......67p each, so not too much to complain about. :y
