HD Speed is my 'go-to' AIO for production detailing. Love this product like so many of you. However, I couldn't help but notice that a 32 oz bottle is now $29.99 - used to be in the $22.99 ballpark.

Interestingly enough, McKee's 360 is also now $29.99 for a 32 oz bottle.

32 oz. McKee's 37 360™ Corrects, Cleans, Seals (http://www.autogeek.net/fco32ozxmt36.html)

Perhaps the secret's out that both products are top-notch...not sure.

I've asked why HD Speed doesn't come in a gallon jug like other product lines. Looks like they now offer a gallon jug but it's "discontinued" on the AG website...

I'm puzzled,

Glad I got one of the last bottles for the old price. With the 20% coupon and free shipping the cost was right around $18 for 32oz.

HD Speed not available by the gallon? That's not possible... detailers use it by the gallon... I go through that stuff like water! Only thing I can think of is they are not selling by the gallon until all the stock is diminished in preparation for some variation of HD Speed II or something.

That makes no sense at all.

Except if the motivation is to drive us to house brands.

I hate to say it but it's widely available with free shipping, no minimum for $24.99.

Oh well.

sometimes when a product gets raves and becomes very popular the company will drive the prices up (no one brand in specific here). back around 10 years ago when i got the eurow shag towels (the first microfiber of it's kind before the eagle edgeless and countless others) they were only $15.90 a 10pk and then everyone started buying them and it jumped up to almost twice as much not to long after. that was back in the early autopia days which we called the autopian effect...

I haven't seen it available in a gallon for a while. Not an option directly from 3D/HD either.

Supply and demand dictates price.

Prices go up, not down typically. Don't worry about how much a product costs. Worry about how much it makes you.

Like I said you can get it at $24.99 including shipping so AG should price match that.

Price Match Promise (http://www.autogeek.net/price-match-policy.html)

Competiton dictates prices too. It's called capitalism and free market trade. YAY!!!

Gas goes up, gas goes down. Commodities go up, commodities go down.

Watch the price at the pumps from Harvey, fasten your seatbelts, not since Katrina are you about to see this.
LOL.

I'm already getting emails from my polyethylene bag and stretch film manufacturers to get orders in.

Yeah and it's still $22.99 at Autopia, go figure. Must have been a typo on AG's part LOL.

Let me tell you about that waste reducing cap Bob.

I bought a 16oz bottle that I intended to give to a friend as a gift. It was temporarily stored on my shelf in my laundry room, I bumped into the shelf and it fell a couple feet, wham bam thank you mam, broken cap and no top to seal it with. It shattered into multiple pieces. Total junk.

Hey 3D / HD go back to the old pull tops asap. Or send me a new one.
