Are #80 and #83 available at local stores like AutoZone? I don't believe I've seen them available...

The closest your going to find to 80 and 83 in a store is Scratch X which is typically only a hand application and wont do the cleaning/polishing job of 83. If you want the good stuff, you have to go online or find a supply store near you. I go to http://www.autodetailingsolutions.com But others also use sites such as Autogeek. ADS works the best for me, goo shipping and always in stock!

A new car shouldnt need 83. When I did my fiences Jeep for the first time last year I only threw on 80 and then the wax top coat. Her car is in such good shape I only need to hit a few spots with 80 here and there then a quick top coat of NXT. I'm amazed how well her car held up. Mine as well, though i haven't been keeping on top of the cleaning like I should, this coming weekend I am going to town though.
