What is this worth?

I was bored and walking around in walmart and there was a section with a bunch of these for sale. How much do you think these are worth?




Sorry i tried to rotate it but it doesn't want to work with me

The best thing in that kit is the quick detailer. Definately not better than turbowax.

To tell you the truth I think that Meguiar's is better than turbo wax any day. I work in a detail shop and all we use is meguiars and all of the products work amazing. For $20 thats a steal youll really enjoy it!

1st question is why do you have swirls? Did you buy the car used? The only way of getting real swirls is caused by not buffing properly. So if you havent buffed then you probably just have light scratches caused by aggressive washing!

Yes I actually have used both and others. Sorry to say but from what I've used Meguiar's takes it. Everything from their wax to their clay down to their degreaser. Turbo wax is okay don't get me wrong. IMO and many others Meguiar's is also much easier to work with.

Well the only way to remove those is give her a good wash/clay and a proper buff and wax. When applying wax use a rotary buffer, do not use a high speed buffer this will **** your paint. Do you know how to buff?
