    Can I find ONR and a grit guard at a store near San Diego? Any suggestions?

    I looked and didn't find any ONR either. I was thinking of looking at Kobies swap meet but that was too much trouble.

    The Optimum website shows two distributors in California, including one in San Diego. I'd call the San Diego distributor:

    When I emailed Optimum with the same question a few months ago they gave me the name of a local reseller wherein live (Los Angeles). I have bought a few thing from him and I'm very happy.

    Thanks. I bought it from there due to your recommendation from another thread. Abe even wrote a thank you note on the shipping receipt. Never seen that kind on online orders. :)

    I got mine from Dann too. Nice, bright, enterprising young man. Now I'm just looking for the grit guard. Will probably get one online.

    Optimum No Rinse is great stuff.

    So I'm glad everyone got theirs without too much trouble.

    Personally, I had gotten mine online from Amazon.com.

    Here's a link to the current Optimum Car Care webpage listing its distributors (if the link no longer works, just go directly to OptimumCarCare.com, or google "Optimum No Rinse" or "Optimum Car Care"):

    Distributers

    And of course, Optimum No Rinse and other Optimum products are widely available online.

    I got mine on Amazon. I want to say, that stuff rocks. I have been keeping my cars in perfect condition, in a warm garage... and with minimal effort.

    Love that stuff.

    none of the standard car parts places sell ONR.... . I HAVE SEARCHED WALMART, TARGET,AUTOZONE, CARQUEST, KRAGENS, ...NONE OF THEM HAVE EVER HEARD OF ONR..... SEEMS THAT A DISTRIBUTOR MIGHT TRY TO GET IT OUT
    TO THE HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS FOR ALL OF US TO USE... AMAZON CHARGES SHIPPING WHICH IS MORE THAN THE 8 3/4 SALES TAX AT ANY
    RETAIL STORE.... IF YOU KNOW OF ANY LOCATION IN THE PALM SPRINGS AREA, PLEASE LET ME KNOW
