My names TJ, im from Charleston, WV. Just joined the forum bc i have increased my consciousness of caring for my vehicles. Wife has a 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD (metallic griggio). I recently purchased a 2011 Silverado LTZ Crew cab (white). Just here to learn and see some product reviews. Seems like a great site for that!:D
 
Welcome! Plenty of great info in the "How To" sections. If it's not there or cant find it there is plenty of help, just ask.
 
Welcome to Autopiaforums TJ, yes there are some great folks here from WV. Our Detailing Guide is a great place to start and then using the search button for more great information.

West by god, lmao , that is awesome, thanks for the warm welcome. Theres tons of high end detailing chemicals out there. Hoping to find some good info here. Ive been using lots of Chemical Guys stuff.

Prob not the right place to ask but ill try, done some searching and cant seem to find it. I have black 20" KMC XD wheels, just wondering if you use a different protectant on that sort of finish. I clicked on search, changed from posts to threads and typed wheels and literally nothing came up with threads started about wheels..... im confused!

i just started a new thread for your question because i don't know the answer. those wheels are a mat black finish if i'm not mistaken aren't they?
at any rate, you can find the new thread under new posts at the top of this page.

My choice would be OC (Opti-Coat).

I know that Chad (Rasky) has used OC on matte wheels with great success. I feel that OC is the best protection for wheels.

Yea, im looking to try some Blackfire products as well as some Optimum. Read some good things about both. Have been using Chemical guys products for the past few months. Had good results with the Hybrid 07. My trucks only 8 months old and im looking for a good polish/glaze/wax product. Or an All in one i guess. I have mainly swirl marks and a couple dings and scratches but for the most part i dont think i need much more than a fine polish.
