So if you choose shipping, how can they ship 30 gallons of this for only $75 with free shipping? I have a feeling the order would be canceled...

OP thanks for the heads up on this deal. I haven't used purple power before, how good is this stuff and best way to use it? Is it just like simple green or different? thx - Paul

This stuff works very well. Use full strength for tough stuff and dilute per the instructions on the jug for more delicate items. Very similar to simple green.

Not to say that it is caustic or anything like that, but compared to simple green it is a bit meaner. It will dry your hands out if you are doing something like a parts bath. I put a set of 30 year old harley heads in a bucket to sit and less than two hours later they were back to nice siver cast aluminum. if you dilute per the instructions it is an excellent floor cleaner.

I had an online order in the store for 5 days and the ticket was held but they pulled the stock from the display shelves in the store. So somebody may come get your order before you get there.

it's only $2.30 cheaper than walmart per gallon, you do know that right? What the hell you need 30 gallons for?

I know people going through more than that a week. Then of course they usually buy in drums and only buy 2.5 GL or 1GL if they run out.

Their paypal check out has been flaky since forever
fixed for you.

I was planning on going 'green' literally, and getting into Simple Green instead of super clean/purple since its more eco and all that stuff. I guess owning your own grass makes you care more. This deal killed that for the foreseeable future.

Thanks OP. 5 1 gal bottles are cheaper than the 5 gal bottle at AAP. Prob not cheaper than 5 gal one at walmart but prob close.

I picked up a Harbor Freight parts washer.

Would this be good to use in it?

If not, what should I use?

Thanks.

Hate the popup chat boxes.

AAP: Hello! How may I help you today?

You: need blinker fluid

aap: I'd be happy to help you with that.

aap: In order to locate this part for you I will need the year, make, model, (submodel if applicable) and engine type of your vehicle please.

You: 1983 chevrolet Corvette 350

aap: Thank you.

aap: May I have your zip code to check availability, please?

You: 30965

aap: Thank you.

aap: May I have your name, please?

You: Ben Dover

aap: Thank you, Ben.

aap: Could you confirm the year of the vehicle please? I was checking and there is no 1983 Corvette. It was made from 1952 to 1982 and then production restarted in 1984 and it has continued to this day.

You: yes 1983 corvette, blinkers haven't been working, had a drain on the system, need to refill the fluid.

You: have a coworker verify.

aap: I have verified with a co worker and there is no 1983 Corvette, could you confirm the year please?

You: haha what did ur coworker say

aap: Would you like the link for the wikipedia page where it says the years it was made?

You: no, im a parts guy messing with you.

aap: Do you need help with a vehicle or a service today?

You: no, hope you found it funny.

aap: I did.

aap: Is there any other part or question I can help you with today?

You: no, have a good one man.

aap: Thank you, you too.
Surprised it's an actual person.

I stopped at my local AAP today it was $4.99 a gal. Was this an online only thing? Still grabbed a jug, I been needing a spray degreaser. We use a similar product at the machine shop. Decided to try it in my home shop. Mostly to clear cutting fluid off parts before I inspect them. Keith
