Princess auto detergents

Oh man, I ordered a jrod from them, I think I ended up paying around $80 because of customs

They claimed it was supposed to tell you at check out… it did not. I didn’t find out till ups called telling me about it. After a handful of calls and emails to them it was returned to sender and sent to Michigan like a week later. This was before I knew how poorly powerwash.com has affected the industry in the US.

I haven’t been in Canada for about 4 years, and I don’t remember seeing this princess auto. Is it a national chain like a NAPA or Autozone? With the name I can’t help but think someone with a Tiara will be telling me how much my parts are going to cost.

It’s nothing like a auto parts store. I don’t know what store to even compare it to. I’m taking a guess on saying it’s something like northern tool… Take a look at the website if you’re curious.

Thanks. I would compare it to a tractor supply, rural king, or maybe a harbor freight by looking at the circular/flyer. I kept thinking why would an auto parts place have chems?

Yeah the name doesn’t really describe the store well. I’d say a lot more trailer equipment than auto parts. They only have 1 degreaser and 2 “pressure washing detergents”. They actually have a pretty decent pressure washing section in the store. Nothing really name brand but they have tons of lances, DS injectors, quick connects, high pressure nozzles, ect.

Best thing for you to do ( i live in canada, fortunately 20 mins from the border) is to get a mailing place states side, order all you need, make sure its all arrived and make it a trip for you. Unfortunately we get hosed here, specially with our dollar getting crappier. I just bought a M5 Twist nozzle and i paying around 100$ each one. But that thing is so worth it i dont really even care. There are chemical suppliers in canada now offering their versions of elomonator, roof snot, fresh wash, etc, but they are also pricey.

C’mon man! Don’t leave us hanging like that!

Also, I just got The Original Shooter Tip from the Doug Rucker store, shipping was reasonable and I didn’t have to pay any duties, fyi.
It took a long time to arrive but it was held up at the border.



If I had to order something I would probably use them again.
