I almost bought a similiar set up to that till I found out they wouldnt' ship that kind of stuff back to the states for me... I am already going to have to part with over $50 in stuff like WD-40, Brake Fluid, Brake Cleaner, Carb Cleaner, ect ect.. sucks you can't mail that kinda stuff. My mothers products are getting mailed back by me though

hey Cebby,
What model of the Blue Top did you get? I was heading out to see about finding one in town today to compare and possibly pick on up, haven't decided btween the blue or yellow, actually this thread changed my mind.
EDIT: Scratch that question, I just figured out it's D34M. :pat:

That's better than Airborne Express... I had an envelope shipped "Overnight" from Va last week on Thursday. The sender was not sure if it would make the cutoff, so she checked on the label "Saturday Delivery," and I paid for it as a precaution.
The Airborne Express driver did not show up for Thursday's Pickup, and did not arrive to pick it up until 3:30 PM Friday. She was assured it would arrive Saturday.
Meanwhile, my wife stayed home all day Friday, and then again Saturday... But no AE Truck. Around 3:45PM Monday, we recieved our package, 3 days late!
On Tuesday morning, we went to the AE pickup center to return ship some papers "Overnight." Paid around $16.00 for the regular envelope, and left the package with them. The Company in Va has yet to see it show up... 4 days later!

I hate AB with a passion, and I refuse to do business with vendors that use them.
You have to be home to sign for it.
I left a note on my door one time for a gaming CD I had orderd, and told them to leave it with any available neighbor.
But nooooo, they would not do it, and left me a note telling me I had to be home to sign for it.
I only use Fed Ex (my favorite) and UPS, as they will leave a package with a neighbor.
And no, UPS does not deliver on weekends.

UPS will deliver on Saturday if it's shipped Next Day Air on friday for a extra charge of $10 + regular NDA charge.They don't deliver ground packages or 2 day airs on Saturday.If some NDA's are missed on Friday(shipped Thursday) because of a UPS screw-up(mechanical reason,e.g. plane breaks down)they will make an attempt on Saturday for no extra charge.
F.Y.I.,Airboure Express drivers are independent contractors & purchase their rte from A.B.(just like Fed Ex ground drivers)& some really don't give a crap,unlike Fed Ex air drivers & UPS who are both paid by the hour & may take a little more time to satisfy a custamer.

Cebby,
Looks like you won the lottery. That's a lot of goodies for the rig. Anyway, one word of advice. Once your ready to clay the rig, keep your eye on the surface you are claying or where you are applying the clay, make sure there is enough speed shine on the surface of the rig you are claying and don't let the Corey Cable/clay bar holder oscillate/run dry. There is a tendency that the center of the clay bar holder will separate from the body.
I screwed mine big time because I let the speed shine thinned out on the surface where I was claying and the center piece where the clay bar rest broke off. Man, I was kicking myself.
Now, I have to get a new one plus one gallon of speed shine and six Micro Fiber cloths.
Oh BTW, I have a lot of people turning their heads at my Runner complimenting me how shiny it was.
Now, I'm sold with Griot's BOS and Corey Cable, heh heh heh.
Here's the picture of a broken clay bar holder.
