They often have that deal on.
I'm going on Friday if anyone hasn't got a card and wants a bottle.

Was it on the list of requirements? I can see it now in the lonely hearts ads. Refined male WLTM fit bird with access to Costco card. Must have
GSOH and own bank account as don't do sharing.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

You need to have a Ltd company and provide various bits of paperwork (bill, company certificate, bank statement, etc) in that company's name.

Horrible stuff, very aggressive on the wheel and much better cleaners out there.
Highly recommend Valet Pro Bilberry. Tried lots of different ones and the Valet Pro is the best I've found closley followed by P21S.

They also give cards to employees of Ltd companies in some cases.
I work for R.Bosch Ltd and they sent a bunch of marketing stuff to us offering us all to join as employees of.
Might be worth ringing them and asking if you do want to join

I work for them and you can also join if you manage a company or work in finance, health or education, legal or local government. Or if you know
anyone that is eligible you can get them to add you to their account for about 15 quid.
Other good deals on trolley jacks (decent low ones that will fit under a kitcar), antifreeze, and Mobil1 and Chevron oil. I tend to buy as much
workshop stuff as I can from there including tools as it is easy for me and is usually way cheaper than elsewhere. Only trouble is that the range is
pretty limited...
BTW I have my eye on a pair of Michelin snow chains at the mo which are going for £50.

I've been using it pretty much since it hit the shelfs and never had a single problem! Good alloys, bad alloys... every type of alloys!

I have one of these 5l jobbies, got it from ebay for about the same price. (probabally someone buyign them from costco then selling them on!)
As above it is quite aggressive, it mildly acidic so I wouldnt recommend it on Powdercoated wheels, but on normal laquered paint finishes, aslong as
you rinse and wipe the wheel down well afterwards its fine. I always polish my wheels afterwards too, not only takes away any residue but makes them
easier to clean next time!

I've also used it for years on all types of alloys, including powder coated. Also good for cleaning up alloy components.
However, it does eat through steel if left in contact with it. I had some mixed 50:50 with water in a paraffin gun that I was using to blast alloy
parts. First it ate through the pickup pipe, then eventually through the whole steel container. It's certainly nasty stuff.
One of these things...
