Earlier this year I had my bumper cover replaced and painted by a body shop. For the first few I knew the paint had to cure, I never experienced a repaint before I didn't really know what to expect although this is going to sound stupid posting it on here :). I'd wash the car and clay and etc...

I've not yet dabbled into machine polishing (It seems to be almost a moot point with a daily driver, but it's swirled enough now to probably warrant it), but I've always thought you just start with a PC. However a friend of mine; who just uses a rotary suggested not even going for the PC and...

I bought a bag of cheap towels from big lots, 12 microfibers for $5. I figured I'd use them for the inside of the car. However I gave them the CD test and it did not scratch at all; it left some lint but didn't scratch. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same results with these towels...

I tried something new the last time I washed thought it'd be good to share. I have very hard water in my area and it always leaves water spots. I've recently been using ONR and thought it worked well. However the truck was pretty dirty so I decided to do a regular wash. I mixed about 2 capfulls...

Hello all, I was at my local Big Lots today and found some glass cleaning towels 3pk of 14x14inch towels for $2. I picked up a pack and tried it out on my windows. I am very impressed! No streaking, no lint, great looking windows and glass. The product is called "AUTO MATICS 3pk microfiber glass...

Hi I just noticed Adam's released a waterless wash, has anyone tried it out? Is it as good as ONR? Is it just their detail spray relabeled etc...

Hello all, I am sure you've all seen the new autogeek website which combines their previous brands into one shopping cart etc...? I have a small peeve, I know they are a major sponsor and I risk getting banned for saying this but here it goes: I got an email offering 15% off orders over...

Hello all, I was just wondering what types of tricks or tips do any of you have for detailing SUVs? I don't wash my car as often as I should partly because it's a royal pain in the *** to clean things like the roof top. I also have problems with hard water and by the time I clean say the...

Does anyone else here use QD as a window cleaner? I usually use windex but I had some Mother's quick detailer and was using it to get the water spots out after I washed the car. Then I used it to clean windows and realized it worked surprisingly well.

How do you guys clean your wiper blades? I just clean then with the car wash and I dry them off. When i run a clean towel across them they don't leave streaks of dirt so I assume they are clean, then I rub a little 303 on them. However when it rains they bleed black and streak the the...

Hello all, I've been reading some scary stuff concerning CG's quality control but the threads were older and wanted to know if CG still has those types of problems. I ask because I see they have 25x36 microfiber towel for $13 and so called "monster" mf's 16x16 pack of 3 for $9.99 Are they...

oh boy, I think this might be a potential flame war igniter but here goes, I've recently tried 2 of Griot's products and was thinking of giving Adam's products a go. Aside from that, Adam's and Griot's seem similar to me in what they offer, price, etc... What are people's general experiences...

I went out and bought some SC grime destroyer and boy I don't know what the hell is in it, but I tried it on a caked on bug and the bug literally slid off onto my bug sponge as soon as I touched it. SO FAR so good, I am going to try using it as a pre wash on the lower panel portions my next wash...

A few days ago I parked my car outside for the weekend, and I noticed recently that apparently someone on a bike or another car left this beautiful scuff mark. I examined the scuff mark and ran over it with my hand, I barely feel any roughness at all, and most of the mark feels just...

I've been looking for a cheaper alternative to P21S wheel cleaner so I decided to give griot's a try. I took some before and after pictures of 2 wheels. One done with P21S and with Griot's. I took pictures to compare of the 2 front wheels as I figured they were pretty equally soiled. Here...
