yeah. Lowes discontinued carrying it. Google it - it was all over the auto detailing sites. People were buying all they could grab. Bet they're still offloading them on ebay for $100 profit each.

one such example: http://www.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=354756

price varied depending on region and model. But some were in the $20-30 range. I found out about it a month or two after it happened.
