Is this a joke? BF Pro APC is $70/gallon?!?!?!

[KirkH]

WTH?

https://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-apc-bottle-combo-128.html

Seriously, a gallon of APC that is recommended dilution of 4:1, for $70?

Megs is $20/gallon
McKees is $30
Optimum is $40
Blackfire AIO APC is $40.

This feels like outright gouging!

I wouldn't mind a sample to review. [emoji4]

Its called Marketing. If they get enough hype around it some cows just herd up and buy it. LOL.

It could be well worth $70, or it might not be as good as a $20 competitor. We have to see some reviews with comparisons to have valid conclusions.

I'm excited by the new BLACKFIRE line if it's been reformulated to achieve better results. So far I haven't seen any information about reformulation, so the new products may be feature only fresh labels and bottles.

BLACKFIRE is my favorite line for my own van. I use CarPro stuff on my wife's Escape because it's coated with CQuartz.

Maybe there'll be more information today.

I can't imagine an APC being worth $70/gallon.

complete rip off..pass on this one..this is the reason why I stay away from most of the house brand products they have..other products in the market can do the same thing at lower price point..

You know my Mother use to say, "if you don't have something good to say, don't say anything".:ban:

My Mom said tell the truth.

So, I'll go with both Mom's and say it depends on the product. I buy Gtechnique's Universal Cleaner at about twice that price per ounce. Best cleaner I've ever used and I only use it at 50:1 on plastic.

I agree with him, I cannot imagine it working $70 good, especially since $28 good seems good enough. I have gotten FLAK on here before for talking down product sold on here, or mentioning my positive experiences with other products that aren't. People always say "oh, well that's not sold here so you can't mention it."

I'm sorry, I thought this was a detailing forum, my bad.

If someone wants to spend $70 on that stuff, be my guest. At that dilution ratio though I can't see it working out for anyone, especially a business.

[RippyD]

This is an outrage! I can't believe anybody would dare to... oh, wait a sec... I forgot that I could just not choose to buy it. Never mind.

People say that because it's literally against the forum rules to promote other products. They're not just trying to rain on your parade or fanboying. This is an Autogeek-sponsored forum so you choose to abide by those rules when you sign up. It's nothing personal. Here is rule numero uno on the forum:

Not to mention autogeek carries a pretty dang huge variety of products, almost anything I've ever decided to get was available from here.

I get the rules but MY goodness...why can't anyone choose to express an opinion (even if it may be ~perceived~ as negative) without fear of being silenced by the Forum Police Troopers?
