Product: Chemical Guys PRO-DETAILER + 1X Carnauba Quick Detail Spray & Waterless Carwash
Product Image:
First Impressions: FedEx delivered this stuff to me about an hour ago and it came in a well packed box with lots of styrofoam. I paid $21.25 + $7.46 FedEx ground shipping, so it equates to around $.22 an ounce. It comes in a very sturdy clear plastic bottle and it is a lavender color with a very fruity almost candy-taffy-like smell. It has a heavy liquid consistency like orange juice.
My Method: Since I'm home during the summer, my truck stays garaged most of the time and it's been very dry lately so I haven't had to deal with anything worse than the occasional puddle. The Chemical Guys website says that you can dilute this product 2:1, but I wanted to see how far I could push it so I did 1:1 in a cheap spray bottle I got at Wal-Mart (very nice though, because it has ounce graduations on the side to 24oz).
Usage: As I stated before my truck hasn't had to deal with much as of late, so I tackled the puddle residue on my fenders and my windshield.
Not much, but a good place to test the lubricity of the QD/WW. I used a white Vroom microfiber towel and did a half spray on it, then the other half on the area to be cleaned. With very light pressure I gave it a wipe and the dirt cleaned off, then I flipped the towel and buffed off the remaining product.
As you can see, it provides enough lube for the MF to pick it up safely.
And here's the result:
I'm not really going to tell you guys that there wasn't any micromarring left because I honestly don't know. As far as I can tell, the product provides plenty of lubrication to safely remove dirt from the surface, and it didn't cause any serious harm and it left a nice shine from the 1X carnauba.
I don't plan on using this stuff on my truck if its seriously dirty; it'll mostly be for wiping it down everyday when I'm back at school this fall. It should also help when I go to a car wash and give everything a good pressure wash so I can follow up with this stuff to get it clean and shiny again. Since I'll be diluting it 1:1 each time I refill the bottle, it'll cost me approximately $.11 per ounce I use on my truck, and I figure I'll use at most 4 per session. It worked equally well on my windshield and on the chrome trim around my grille. Cleaned and left no streaks..what more could I ask for?
Diluted or full strength, Chemical Guys PRO-DETAILER + 1X Carnauba is a great deal for anyone that uses quick detailer or waterless wash frequently. I didn't have any problems ordering, and they seem like great people to do business with.
