OTHER USES for detailing products

Post up any uses you have found for your detailing products and tools.
I know you can polish glass shower doors and seal them with various sealants. @War Machine has done that. I have used silica spray sealant on some solar LED lights and LED post caps on my deck. It has done a great job to prevent sun fading. Also on my grill, not sure how long it really lasts with 500° heat
Today I used carpro elixir (mix of ech2o and reload) in my kitchen. It's a cleaner and a sio2 sealant. My granite counters came out amazing and super slick lol. I'm hoping it will prevent some water spots and make things easier to clean. I also used it on my stainless oven, and microwave and it cleaned them better than my usual lysol kitchen cleaner and also sealed them so they should stay cleaner and be easy to wipe down.

What have you done? Share you crazy ideas here and teach us some new uses for the stuff we have spent so much money on.

 

I have waxed my granite, appliances, etc....sealed shower doors like you said, and put Beadmaker on the Roomba.

 

Yes!!!

 

I do the same to my granite tops. I had a dull spot on my countertop that was picking at my OCD. I used some mothers rubbing compound, 2 types course and fine. Worked like a charm. Time consuming though.

 

FYI..... @marc32 knows his shit when it comes to granite, etc.

 

I wish I knew that about 2 years ago. I'll keep that in mind.

 

He gave me some great tips on cleaning mine a while back. @marc32 is very knowledgeable about the subject.

 

@marc32 get your @ss in here!

 

Invisiglass on the glass top stove. Makes it look new.

 

After on left and before on right.
Hard to tell in pic but the gloss, reflection, and clarity is much improved.
The slickness is out of this world. I slid a plate down to my daughter and it almost flew off the counter lol

 

I use Adam’s Polishes interior detailer spray and leather cleaner to clean up my leather work boots.

 

I completely forgot that one. I use CG Leather Quick Detailer on my shoes and boots. Works great, just have to make sure to keep it off the soles or they squeak like crazy.

 

Leather cleaner and conditioner for couches. I need to try the glass shower door.

 

I wonder if hydro2 would work on my quartz countertops? I don't have any reload or echo2. Maybe even a little beadmaker on them? I do wanna try hydro2 and beadmaker on my shower tiles, wonder how well that will work

 

I use Beadmaker on my motorcycle helmet to keep it cleaner, and easier to wipe bugs off, etc.

 

Jeeze... I'm dumbfounded that I hadn't thought about using my detailing products on household stuff.

With granite countertops, just polish or wax, both? Will it hurt them to use my orbital? I wouldn't think so, but I'm barely a novice with this stuff

 

I have used rain-x and clay bar on glass bathroom sinks to keep of hardwater marks. Used vinyl protectant on outdoor furniture to slow down the sun damage. leather conditioner on couches.

 

Hydro2 probably would work on counter, well it would but you need a strong water spray to activate it and that would get messy in the kitchen. It would probably be okay in the shower if you have a removable shower head sprayer.

 

I tried Beadmaker on the washer and dryer. Looks brilliant but now I cant fold clothes on top as they slip right off. Tried a bottle of nufinish i had laying around on the shower glass, worked well. We have corian counters and I am tempted to try some Meg's 105 with the DA to see how well it works.

 

Question, if I seal my granite countertops with reload, will I need to use something like mr. Pink to clean them? We were told to use something like windex vinegar for cleaning, even with a sealer. @marc32

 

What product did you use??

 

Good point. I was thinking about my black jenn-air stove, but then I thought what kind of off gassing would happen with reload and heat? Still, I'd like to find something that makes cleaning a black stove easier.

 

Damn you, now in my next time of boredom and beer I will be pH testing detailing and cleaning products

 

I eventually thought it was strange that the granite supplier said to use vinegar based cleaners. My wife usually just wipes the countertops with a damp dish sponge.
I would try reload on the stove, but the two options are you would find the results in a new post or my obituary.

 

Carpro elixir, a mix of ech20 and reload
