Help Needed --- California Members -- Soft99

Ladies/Gentleman,


I have been on a very unsuccessful quest to get my hands on a can of Soft99's Premium Authentic Paste Wax. It is a Japanesse wax that is probably hard to get do to import laws as well as the recent VOC regulations. I have found only two retailers to date. Autofreak and Autobarn. Both are in the California areas.

I am asking for anyone close to either of these outlets, please consider picking me up a new unused can. I will pay for item, postage, and any reasonable market increase for time. Any help would be greatly appreciated since neither retailer will offer email or other reasonable contact. Thanks !!

Is that the white paste I've been hearing people rave about for a few months, it's like the "Souveran" of waxes over there?

I was gonna go and visit their store (Autofreak) in San Francisco today (about 100 miles away), but before driving there I called. They said that they don't have any of that wax in stock, and expected and to call back in about a month to check if they ordered/received their shipment. The guy also said that it comes there directly from Japan, and sometimes there are shipment delays. Anyway, at least I tried.
If anyone else would check their website, there are a few stores there. Maybe anyone else lives close by another store and can check it out.

Anyway, I will check in a month with them. (stuff like this makes me wanna order some from Japan ).

I figured since you want to try it so bad it must be a good one, and I want to try some too. But I don't want to drive to Los Angeles (500 miles away), just for wax. I will check in a month or so.
