    I'm about to pull the trigger on a few gallons of wise guys products. The ratio is throwing me off. So the Sun Shine product https://shinesupply.com/products/sun-shine-gallon?variant=4150449859 it says
    • For best results on your vehicles windows, dilute Sun Shine 3:1 with distilled water. (1 part product - 3 parts water)
    I always thought the product was 3 and the water was 1.

    So 2:1 would be 2 parts water and 1 part Tire cleaner for this one? https://shinesupply.com/products/wise-guy-gallon?variant=4150576195

    And 2:1 = Satin Finish for https://shinesupply.com/products/decked-out-gallon?variant=4150003971 would be 2 parts water and 1 part Decked out?

    The higher number is usually water, so 2:1 would be two parts water, one part product.

    I don’t know if you’ve placed your order yet, but I tried the Sun Shine glass cleaner, and was unimpressed. It’s the only one of their products I haven’t cared for. It just didn’t seem to do a good job, and seemed to leave a haze behind.

    I'll grab that on the next order. Close to $300 bucks already but should last a long time.

    Thanks again for the help.

    Waxaddict is better, in my opinion. Decked out is shinier, but I prefer less gloss.

    I don’t do paste wax very often, but this stuff looks great.

    I use Solution a good bit. It works great, though I can’t say it’s better than any other APC. I just tend to throw it in with my other orders. Haven’t tried any of the others.

    You’re dead right on the tire cleaner. Great stuff.
    I’ve been thinking about the Beadlock wheel coating, but it’s on the high side.

    I also ordered trim shield with your recommendation. Can't wait to fully detail our vehicles. I did a quick wash at work but not even close to a full detail.

    Cool guy did a great job cleaning my wheels after the abuse of winter. Haven't tried many wheel cleaners but will be using in the future.

    Sunshine glass cleaner did a good job. Hard to tell yet because I need to remove some water spots and try it again.

    Haven't tried the Decked Out yet.

    Shift soap did a great job when I used it. 2 wash bucket method, plenty of suds, and left my truck clean.

    Thanks again @War Machine

    Trim Shield is one I’m pretty blown away with. It’ll be good to get another opinion on it.

    The Shift soap was good, but I don’t know if anything will ever replace Carpro Reset for me.

    My favorite wheel cleaner is Poorboys World.

    This stuff is unreal, unused to use Chemical Guys only bit that ended once i found this. My only question is how have you not used Classy chassis and fell in love with it

    Only downside is it isnt readily available. Chemical guys is close to me and always have product. Unless you preplanned and order online it's not easy to acquire.

    I haven’t delved much into undercarriage stuff. I usually just use Solution to clean it with.

    Usually takes 4 days after I order but worth the wait. Chemical Guys and Adam's are the same or longer unless I purchase off Amazon.
