I perused RockAuto for all the sundry tune-up parts, only to break my brain around the fact that a decent copper plug can't be shipped from the same warehouse as a decent wire set and/or ign coil...
So screw the plugs (and the wipers), and I'll get them local.

Prices are great from them. Shipping from 2-3 locations adds up quick. I had to do the same thing you are doing. Or ebay.
Meguiar's G17216. Thank you. I just assumed it was an all in one type thing. Looks like a compound. Did you lay down some wax after you used that? Think I am going to break down and buy one of those buffers and give that a try. Googled around for the price. About $12 at most auto parts stores. Just under $9 at Home Depot and Target. Am I the only person that finds that kinda strange. See what it cost me with my discount. We may not stock that at the store but we can get it.

I always keep a few tabs open at a time when I'm shopping RockAuto. One is their website, the other(s) are local auto parts stores. I'll compare the cost of the part + shipping to the part at the local stores. If the part + shipping is less than the local stores even with it being shipped from a different warehouse, I'll go with RockAuto... if not, then I'll just go to the local store.
That product is just a compound, not a wax. You need to put a wax layer over it as Ralph mentioned.
Ya after actually reading the back of the bottle I came to the same conclusion. Haha. It makes the Jeep shiny and thats what I was after. Guess I can put some actual wax on it one day.
Cost of shipping isn't as bad as some believe. I'm getting a gas tank skid and t/c skid shipped from a private owner in Burbank,CA. to eastern WV via FedEx for no more than $70.
Keep eyes open if there is some one heading south or heading north, we can do a relay.
Wouldn't be the first time something like that has worked out for me. Some guy in PA, 600 mile round trip from me, had some factory running boards that I wanted bad. $75. Guy said he does contract work in Rome, NY and asked if that helped. We have a customer at the auto parts store I work that is down this way doing contract work but is out of Rome, NY. He told me have the guy drop them off at this place they do business with up there, I paid him first of course, and he would get them down to me. Of course I hit him off with a 30 pack of Bud Light. What he drinks lest you guys think I was being cheap. LOL.
Stripped it down and sanded the lower and rear quarter panels. Going to do a bedliner two tone to try and cover up some rust and make the replacement flare match.
So I got this stuff today. Off Ebay for $40. Come to find out that common sense is not that common anymore. Guy packed it with thin sheets of styrofoam. The crappy stuff that breaks up into little tiny pieces. Of course a bunch of it fell into the vents on the radio. Oh and the bolt that is screwed into the back got into the radio. I have no idea how. When I told him what he did his response was:
the "bolt" is the mounting screw goes in the back of the radio it must have come loose in shipping. I'm not sure how it got inside the housing or how you got it out without removing the housing? Why not remove the housing and check for damage vacuum out foam particles if there are any?
I hate people. I really do.
See that black circle in the upper right on the radio. This is supposed to be one of the radios that can control a 6 CD Changer. Thing is the older versions of this radio do not interface with newer CD Changers. The iSimple gizmo also plugs into that and if everything works out I will be able to play Ipod through that. And won't have to try and solder in a 3.5mm jack in a radio.
