Not normally - mostly only speed shops will have the redline. Metal masters probably not either, as most of their applications are for European cars only.

I seen that Pep Boys carries Redline SL-1 FI cleaner, but I never seen oil/tranny fluid, etc by Redline. Maybe they could order it, but I went there to order some Lexol Neatsfoot oil leather treatment seeings how they stock the Lexol cleaner and conditioner, but Nooooooo, no where to be found in their catalog hence no ordering was done. Hard to believe that someone instead of breaking in and stealing something actually decided to stock their shelves right under thier noses.

I use Redline's MT-90 transaxle fliud with fantastic results!

It is designed to replenish the oils in dried out/hard/cracked leather. I am not sure how well it does with the treated leather/finished leather, but for just a slab of skin like on some old motorcycles it works great...so I thought I would give it a whirl. The reg. conditioner I believe (as most other brands as well) are designed to prevent the drying out/cracking, etc...not reverse the effects. Anyone else care to chime in on results on this product or something else?

Hope this helps.
Take Care!

Being an Autozoner, neither Pep boys or my store can order chemical products. In terms of chemicals, corporate chooses which brands to run in their store.

Since Redline makes a high quality product that actually works at least as well as it claims, doesn't promise 50 additional horsepower, doesn't make your car look any different, and isn't the cheapest possible product of its type, I doubt you can buy it at any retail auto parts chain.

The PepBoys by me on LongIsland NY (in Hicksville for those who are in the area) sells Redline WaterWetter, the complete fuel system cleaner and the diesel system cleaner. Its tough to see as its on the bottom shelf. Im not sure about other Redline products as i wasnt really looking.
