Purple Power $2.50/gallon Adv Auto

[MNRZR]

Yeah. Online only price. What a joke though that they won't match the online price when you are standing in the store. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to wait the 20 minutes the mgr said it would take to process my online order. 20 min to grab 4 jugs off the shelf and click a couple times on the computer?

Several times I will order my stuff in the parking lot and when I walk in a minute or two later my order pops up on the screen. I have done this numerous times with no problems

Is this safe to use in my kitchen on countertops, stubborn dishes and inside stuff like that?

 

[cheechi]

almost definitely not.

For comparison, 409 is a lot less nasty and it is labeled not for surfaces that contact foods. I don't keep my purple power close to my computer but I'm sure somebody will read the label for you.

Just ordered 4 gallons for pick up usually dont deal with advanced. Was going to autozone across the street but they got new kids that tried a few times to get way too pushy. So we will give advanced a try bought there a few other times and seemed to be friendly and easy to get along with. So here goes.

Alright; noted. I'll just get 2 gal to try washing lawnmower engines and stuff. Thanks for the reply.

 

[CNGsaves]

In for 3 gallons . . . great deal for $8 with tax.

Thanks OP !!

Ordered mine at noon website says ready for pickup in usually 30 min. still havent got my ready for pickup e mail. Wonder if they are buried with orders. I am in no hurry but good old GJ members must be burying them with pickup orders.

Pasadena, MD had a 4.99 shelf price. Showed the clerk the online price on my phone. They honored the 2.50.

I don't think they send a ready for pickup email. They just expect you to wait thirty minutes before showing up.

 

[unslow1]

I never received an email for pick up.

 

[Show7d3]

I went to my local store this morning and the price was $4.99. I told the clerk it was $2.50 on their website so he sold it to me for the lower price.

 

[unslow1]

You never will. They don't pull your order ahead of time. They will pull it when you get there.

They have always had my order pulled before I get there. Today included. Maybe some stores do and some don't.

 

[Cruzomatic]

My order was pulled prior to my arrival. They brought it to me from the back isle.

Great stuff

 

[allinon72]

I always wait 30 minutes, then go pick up. Never had a problem.

 

[KTMrider]

4.99 at my local store, they would not honor the price so I placed an on line order and waited for it to process in the store. 5 minutes later, 4-gallons OTD at $10.80. Thanks OP.

Grabbed 6 at my store they had cases stacked in the window. Thanks

 

[jshillin]

I picked up 2 today. Was going to get more, but I prefer Meguiar's APC and have a couple gallons left.

 

[Kirbot]

Picked up 6 gallons last night.

I had to place the order on my phone inside the store...

 

[bigboost]

They always have my orders waiting for me pulled already.

I've also ordered on my phone standing in the store many times and was in and out in 5 minutes.

 

[dodge610]

My Mistake read my order confirmation its a little misleading but says to bring the order confirmation and your order will be ready in 30 min. just not use to there way of doing things most places I buy from send you an order ready for pickup,

 

[cajunfirehawk]

Got my 4, lady said they have more on the way, was this a sale, special or new low price?

purple power is good for the nasty grimey engines and undercarriages. I save my megs stuff for the clean low mile vehicles.

I did same except I didn't have to wait. It is stupid they can't match but I think it is more of a corporate policy. It just kills me they do it.

I love it.....most GJers Know more of what is going on then the "Employees" at HD,HF, and Lowes etc....yet we have a few of those Judge Judy's on GJ that want be judge and jury on the deal you received

 

[unslow1]

That's cool. I've never gotten a "your store is ready for pickup" email though. Do you normally get them from AAP?

This what I normally get. Just one email. It also includes order # which I removed.

[77Ford]

Thanks OP in for a couple.........

 

[cablebandit]

Thanks, I just picked up enough that I can probably be buried with a few gallons.

 

[kxlexus]

I bought 4 gallons. Never used it before. I always used Simple Green diluted 50% with water.
How do the two products compare?

 

[ineedtools]

Same thing, no honor in store so did it online on the phone and got back in line.
I said I had an internet order to pickup, he looked at me funny and then pulled it up, and then shook his head when he saw it.

 

[motocross77]

I never used purple power, but I like the price

 

[pauls_workshop]

Question: Can this stuff freeze and be ok? Or is that a bad idea for any reason? thx- Paul

 

[Cruzomatic]

You guys are going to hog up all my purple power. I already have 4 so I think I'll go in for four more.

 

[cheechi]

I stored a 5 gal container where it would have frozen several times. Don't know if it actually did, but it could have. Has not affected its ability to be really nasty and clean stuff pretty well.

There's also the case of freezing point depression/boiling point elevation. You put stuff into water, its freezing point lowers. There's a lot of stuff in this. Likely it won't freeze at 30 C

How about -10F? -30F with windchill? Welcome to January in the Mid-West! - Paul

 

[cheechi]

That was of course intended to say -30 C and was intended not as the results of a scientific test but a guesstimate (I also hate that word) based on its viscosity and list of ingredients.

Pretty sure most of the country is feeling January in the midwest this week.

 

[EasyTiger864]

Not trying to derail because this is a great price for Purple Power, but I get 3 gallons of this stuff for $6 plus tax shipped free to my local Dollar Tree store. I think it does just as good as Purple Power and it doesn't smell as bad. LA AWESOME

 

[64merc]

Their checkout with Paypal *****. I got an email from Paypal but I never received anything from AA. When I went to pick up the order about 6 hours later they didn't find me. I said fine, can you match the online price and they said they could, but I have to bring it up on my phone and show them. They don't have access to the internet or what? Hopefully the Paypal pending charge will disappear.
