That $100 probably includes GST.
Called the New Jersey dept and was told by the CS rep that it can't be shipped to TX... WTF. Waiting to hear back from the Manager when he gets in, plus he can tell me if 1 gallon containers are available.

Up here, surely you are kidding. Its pay me list and more.
PM earrossi on here. He had the same issue when he ordered from the Barre, VT store which I believe is where they are headquartered. The manager there got it all sorted out and is the one to ask for details.
I just got off the phone with Swish.
Call Laurie Beede in their Barre, VT office at 1-800-322-4222. She is the one who handled shipping to another Rennlist member.

What state was it shipped to and how much did it run you in shipping charges?
What did the pail of Facto AT30 go for?
How did it work by diluting it? I use it straight since you need so little of it.

Shipped to TX. Decided to order it through my work place since getting it delivered to a residence seemed problematic. Not sure what the shipping charge was but it shipped UPS Ground and therefore wouldn't have cost much. The Facto AT30 ran about $70 excluding shipping.
Haven't tried it yet. Going to see how it compares to S-100 and the cheaper Motul equivalent for cleaning my motorbike. The anodized rims are a real bear to clean so they will be a good test.

Are we talking a chain driven motorcycle in your case? If so, use it straight. Pour some into a small plastic container and apply/agitate with a 1" paint brush. Rinse and repeat.

Yes, its an Aprilia Tuono and chain driven. The uneven surface is a magnet for dirt and grim. I think the real culprit is brake dust. I'll try it neat and apply with a stiff brush as you suggest.

I know this is an old thread, but really interested in getting some of this Facto AT30.
I spoke to two people at Swish head quarters in VT, and they tell me they will only ship in the New England area. When I asked who would distribute out to CA, they both told me they did not know anyone.
Any ideas how to get some Facto to southern CA? After all, our cars get dirty out here too!
