Detailed: Honda and review new stuff

Washed Honda 4-door
I get more white cars….
(New)
Duragloss #591 Marine & RV Wash Concentrate I find this soap has one heck of a cleaner, stronger than NXT. I know it’s made for RV & Boats, but it works great on dirty cars. As far as removing LSP I don’t know, this car didn’t have any to start with. The soap was great cleaning oil film off. This car had it all over and I didn’t want to pull out the APC. Doses not have good suds in the foam gun nor the slickness like others soaps. I did see some beads after using it. So that tell me it’s putting down sealant. The soap dries quicker then others. So in Sun light do one body part at a time. Will I keep using this product? Yes only on slap dirty vehicles. Also had it in the bucket with the yellow ShMITT. I give this product 5 stars for cleaning and 2 stars slickness.
DG# 471 bug remover on the front end

Tires

Duragloss #701


Wheels and tail pipe.
Poorboy’s Spray and Rinse Wheel Cleaner and power puff.
Yep the tail pipe, spray it on give about 3 to 4 minutes and let it do its magic and spray with high pressure water.


Dry with guzzler and leaf blower

Door jams (New)
#521 Marine & RV Detail Spray

My new favorite QD, has more cleaning power than #921 and more slickness. Leaves an awesome gloss. And AG site says, As an added benefit, this anti-static formula retards future dust and water line attraction, making future cleaning easier. Don’t know about anti-static yet. Need to test it on my vehicles and see it for myself. I’m real impressed with this product and I think you will be too. Will I buy it again? Yes, by the gallon. 5 Stars all the way.

Inside Glass
Stoners

Paint Polish

Duragloss Marine RV Polish #501 with PC setting 5-6 Edge yellow pad..

LSP

Duragloss #105

Outside Glass
DG #501 and #105

Outside Plastics (not on rubber)

DG#531 Marine & R/V Protectant

Wheels Wells
Cleaned with DG#701 and top with Stoners Tire shine


Tire Dressing (New)
Super Shine.
I got this product at a mom and pop pressure washer store in Shelby NC. I was there looking for a foam cannon. We were talking and I said I detail vehicles on the side and boy did he ever start pushing chemicals on me. So I got some free samples. It’s their on line. I find this dressing to watery and it has the smell of finger nail polish. It dose have a nice shine but I don’t know how long it will last. I prefer more of a gel dressing.


Inside
Cleaned seats carpet, leather and vinyl DG#401 APC 10:1
Vinyl top with #201 Vinyl & Leather Dressing


Engine
Cleaned with DG#401 APC 10:1 and top with Black Magic tire foam.

You went DG crazy on that one and it looks good. I like the way you crossed over and used the Marine products on the car. That Honda needed a little love and you and DG gave it to it. Car looks good, there are a few of those DG products that I think I'd like to try. Thanks for the write-up Sparkie.

Nice Crocs, I just saw those the other day. I'm partial to Reefs but those are cool.

You did a good job Sparkie. The inside looks great. Did you have any spots in the carpet to remove? How did you get the mats looking so new again? Do you use one of those small steam carpet cleaners?
