When you read reviews of these, many people love them, a few dislike them. I think the problem is the name. People are actually trying to wash their cars with these.

I think they are better called "car detailers". Much like the clumsy spray-and-wipe products from Meguiar's, Griot's Garage, Eagle One, etc. Good for removing road dust, fresh bird poop and squashed bugs, etc. In other words, touch up your car after you've driven to a show. You can do full panels if you need to.

I like them for this. Hope the discontinuance is prelude to re-introduction in improved packaging, like one wipe per packet.

Haha! I don't know why I like these things so much. Armorall will probably come out with the same thing in different packaging for less. Maybe the wipes will all dry out sitting in my garage.

I really use them at car meets because they are so convenient. They don't scratch and they don't leave streaks.

Maybe when I get a $20,000 paint job then I will change my mind. But as long as I have a "driver" then I am going to keep using them.

From Armorall. They are no longer on the shelves. I now have 64 boxes hoarded.

Hopefully that will hold me until they come out with something new.

The Orielly's distribution centers still have them for awhile.

Sadly, these wipes are being discontinued. They are like baby wipes for your car. They cannot be used on a gritty surface, but they are excellent for in between car washes.

They are great for removing fingerprints, bird crap, etc. No streaking and they don't harm your finish. They sold for 10 wipes for 5.95.

They are almost impossible to find now, but if you hurry, you can call O'reilly auto parts and get them to order some from their distribution centers while they last.

I just picked up 50 boxes for 2.39 a box. You get three "car washes" to a box.
