Show us your latest detailing purchase

I’m scared to count mine.

 

Look forward to it. Don’t get it wet.

 

Please post pics......this is one product I'm growing increasingly interested in

 

Other than my screw up with the water drops, it’s been fantastic.

 

Detail essentials

 

Some goodies showed up yesterday......

 

I can't remember who recommended but I've been loving this Adam's waterless wash. It's been a huge help. We recently sold our house and the place we're temporarily renting doesn't have a garage. The birds crap on our vehicles daily. We all know how damaging bird crap can be. I've been using the waterless wash with great success.

Nice haul......you have both ends of the 'smell' spectrum there.....the Griots Heavy Duty wheel cleaner stinks like skunk pee, while the Bead Maker smells (kind of) like an orange creamsicle

 

Looking at selling my Porter Cable for G9. Porter Cable is a pain to use and bulky. Buying G9 a good move?

 

Can not go wrong with a Griots machine.....plenty of power, lifetime warranty from a company with top shelf customer service.

 

Sweet I am going to pull the tigger tonight and sell the porter cable.

 

You will be very happy with this decision.

 

I ordered some reset, griot's 3 in 1, as well as some carpro gliss to top the cquartz if if I ever get it done. Autopia had a 25% off coating products flash sale so I jumped on it.

 

Haven’t tried gliss yet very interested. Reset is my hands down favorite soap.

 

The best move. You will not be disappointed.

 

I just started using these two products together. I use the Mothers for the cleaning stage, and I finish up with the Griot's. The results are impressive. I didn't have the issue with a bad smell from the Griot's like some people have reported. My interior smells like new leather. It's great.

 

Ordered a small bottle of Solution Finish. I'm anxious to try something that lasts longer than Mother's back to black.

 

I did the same thing and it arrived yesterday. Applied to some trim on our 2004 Sienna last night. We'll see how it holds up.

 

Solution finish is a dye. I've not used it, but I've heard (and read) that it lasts about a year. I know people who have topped it with CarPro Dlux and were able to get a little more out of it

 

New G8, some 3 inch LC pads, a new PFM towel (mine has seen better days), some more soap, and new wash mitts.

 

I’d say a year is pushing it. It’s already worn off from the test I did on my cowl a while back. Cerakote looks like it’s going to be the alpha product from what I’ve seen so far.

 

I haven’t seen that soap before. Have you used it?

 

Good to know. Either way, I'll be satisfied as back to black lasts less than one wash lol.

 

It does last longer than most anything else I’ve tried in the past. Shine Supply Trim Shield lasts longer, but doesn’t restore faded trim as well. It’s better suited for preventing it in the first place.

 

Yup. I use it on on every vehicle but mainly got it for those that I've already serviced as it is ph balanced and good for maintaining prior waxes/sealants. Still use CG Snow Foam Honeydew for the soak.

 

Should I apply a maintainer to the plastic after using Solution finish to help protect it? Something like 303 or is there anything better?

 

Yes you definitely want to protect it, give it a few days to dry and cure. 303 is okay but you'll have to apply it way too often. I would try a coating like gtechniq permanent trim restorer or carpro DLux, those last over a year. Also shine supply trim shield is excellent and lasts months. There are a ton or good ones out there, 303 would be low on my list unless you'll apply it every week or 2.

 

^^^^^that's some good advice, right there

 

Damn Shine Supply, breaking me financially...

 

Freaking BOOM!!!!
