I was in Prescott, Az., Tues.-Today, buying cleaners and such which stupid California banned or watered-down (brake cleaner, carb cleaner, parts cleaner, and denatured alcohol) -- cheaper tobacco, too.

I perchanced to notice a bottle of Pledge Floor Shine kickin' back on the shelf inside the Tru-Value, all by itself, just asking to be taken home.

I left it for one lucky local to buy, as I already have two bottles.

Guys in the paint department there tried really hard to color match some paint for the M.I.L.'s deck railing when I was getting her house ready to list. I brought them about a 1-inch square of peeled paint that they worked off of. Really nice folks in that store (ten years ago anyway). I bought some other stuff as well over the course of two week-long visits.

My So Cal buddy does car restoration and has to drive to AZ to buy paint supplies. Seems kinda stupid to loose sales/tax but it's the least strange thing CA does.  Good you found a bottle.

My brother-in-law drives to Nevada and Arizona to purchase 'Wet Look' clear coats for his business (repairing delivery damage vehicles and/or used vehicles). The colour coats are available here, but those super glossy clears aren't.

You missed your chance to turn a tidy profit.

 

I'd rather leave it for someone local to buy it (which is exactly what I did). I was just surprised to see it there; I posted this in hopes that one of our fellow plastic fanatics will go there and buy it.

Yep. I was just joking due to the astronomical amounts they are looking for online. I have seen it for as much as  $100 a bottle!
