Anyone bought this before? If you have a quick review would be nice. Just a simple worth the cost or not so good would be nice.

Tempted but the last two years I have been focusing on products and tools I need when my stock runs low. I already did one day and replaced some buffer pads and a backing plate.

I've picked them up from autogeek in years past. I didn't think they were bad, but wasn't wowed. That's the nature of mystery boxes however. In my experience with mystery boxes, autogeek also tends to give most people roughly the same thing.

I purchased a couple of mystery boxes and I agree with Dr.Frosty wasnt wowed. I received mostly towels and small sizes of products.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Autogeekonline mobile app (http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=87407)

As far as value goes, $195 worth of product for $100 is the best deal offered for mystery boxes that I have seen, other than the special winner boxes.

I can see how if you are a detailer you might not be that thrilled with small sample size stuff. For the weekend warrior though I thinks it’s different. I have just gotten into this world and don’t want large products. However, I would like to try things to find out what I like.

Is the $50 or $100 box typically preferred more?

I use Mystery Boxes to load up on stuff at a big discount. It works for me even with wholesale accounts that I have, its a better deal. And they always put stuff in them that everyone can use.

Mystery box was weak and did not even equal stated value. I have contacted customer service. They even sent a bottle of BOAT CLEANER WAX!!!! Why put boat cleaner wax in a mysterybox, that's ridiculous.

At least you got that expensive BF APC lol.

Was that the $100 mystery box or the cheaper one?

Unloading excess inventory on stuff that doesn't sell well. Doesn't look like $100 worth of products unless those are clay towels.

This mystery box does not equal the state value of $198.94.


Also, why include boat cleaner wax in a mystery box?!?!? How many people actually have boats? As opposed to how many of your customers HAVE CARS?!?!?

MEGUIARS D4510 $7.99
DISPENSER BOTTLES 3 PACK $7.99
CARRAND TIRE BRUSH $7.99
DURAGLOSS 265 $8.99
XENIT FOAMING $5.99
COLLINITE FLEETWAX $19.99
BLACKFIRE APC $24.99
POORBOYS WHEEL SEALANT $19.99
XL MF APPLICATOR $4.99
1 EASY GRIP APPLICATOR $4.99
1 GREY TOWEL $2.99
1 PINK TOWEL INTERIOR CLOTH $2.99

TOTAL RETAIL VALUE $119.88

I'm pissed!

They are not clay towels.

Thanks for the heads up. Paying retail price for stuff you don't really want. Hope they send you something nice to make up for the shortfall. Won't even consider purchasing a Mystery Box in the future

It's a shame because i have great mystery box experiences with other companies. AG has so many products I expected them to put together a great MB! Adam's and even Chemical Guys do really nice boxes that are a great value.
