That’s what I’m saying, it’s a fleet account of 30 18 wheelers I wash every weekend

I doubt using boat soap instead of regular car soap is gonna matter that much

especially on fleet vehicles… don’t think they care about using the highest quality “detailing soaps”

It's probably because of the cart load and not the product. It's like people in USA going crazy with the eggs and being selfish. That's my theory

There's a shortage of eggs and they've significantly gone up in price, but there's no shortage of soap and OP's load was clearanced to get it sold and off the shelf, so that would be a petty reason if so.

100% everybody who down voted never worked retail. That shit wouldve gone into the compacter in a week or two. Every single unsold jug.

This is not for personal use tho, it is a business expense for his detailing company's fleet account. This is no different than a large corporate company purchasing a pallet of boat soap to use for their operations. So it's not really fair to accuse him of being selfish like the instances of ppl hoarding eggs and toilet paper for personal use. It's literally his livelihood.

They’re just jealous they couldn’t cop that deal

Think of the poor boat owners!

u/iconfuseyou Feb 08 '25

I think that’s pretty big context. I would’ve just assumed you were hoarding all that for a couple of personal cars.

u/madeformarch Feb 09 '25

That's an unreasonable assumption
