Nissan and a Toyota
Wash
CG Citrus Wash & Gloss Synthetic Citrus Based Hyper-Wash+GLOSS in the foam gun and bucket with yellow ShMITT.
Shake before use, it will separate. I fine it to be a real strong cleaner like NXT. It’s has more slickness then NXT and very little spotting if any dries on windows and paint. Doses not have the gloss like Duragloss #901. It’s great for vehicles that are real dirty. Do I need this on my vehicles? No. But some of the cars I get, yes. So if you have a car that you don’t wash for months then this is the wash for you.
Lubricity 4, Shine 4, ease of use 5, and cleaning 5 stares.
I rate it 4.5 Stars Would I buy it again yes. I prefer Poorboy's Super Slick & Suds Concentrated Car Wash and Duragloss #901 Car Wash Concentrate on my vehicles and the ones I keep up…….

Tires
Amazing Roll off for tires with tire brush.

LSP
CG WET MIRROR FINISH ULTRA SLICK NON-STICK GLOSS MAGNIFIER-Mirror Perfect Reflections
I fine the product OK, I was expecting more. These two cars are the only ones I have used it on. Did it improve the look of the paint? Yes. Ease of use, yes. Smoothness was real nice. Used it by hand and PC with Edge2K blue pad.
(NOTE) I need to try it on more vehicles, jury is still out! LOL!!!

Great job Sparkie.

Did u use the yellow ShMitt when washing the car?

And that foamGun mix sounds like "norway during winter mix"

Wow.... Just a great turn around. Especially the wheels and tires.... They were BROWN with dust... How much time did you spend on those wheels?

Very nice write up spark, that is one sweet write up and the results are wicked. I like the reflection of both vehicles. I like the engine bay, looks really good.

Oh I really like the reflectin of the house, I'm starting to put the house peases together hehehehe. Looks like you live in a gorgeous place buddy.

Thanks for sharing, you do great work sparkie.

Sparkie..I found the CG soap just like you did...cleans great...rinses spotless...but not as slick and glossy as 901 in the final end....it is a great prep wash for doing a polish or rewax of a car...it has its uses and i will use it..but for for doing a wash on my truck after it is all ben done..901 will be the wash...


As far as the Wet Mirror...I found it works best over a sealant....not as a LSP...over 105 and CG M Seal it looks great..but as just a LSP or used under a sealant I see nothing added...The EZ glaze does more under a sealant or wax...Paul at CG said best results with it was to top a sealant with it...

Thanks for a review, Sparkie! I'm willing to try CG Citrus wash and gloss myself. Sounds like a good wash to me.

That is a fine job there, Sparkie! Really love the final results! What was the dilution rate for the PB's wheel cleaner? Full strength or what?

Thanks for the review Sparkie! I have only used CG's Citrus Wash once now and find it fantastic. Much better than my Megs Gold that I used before. The suds don't stop and it works perfect with the all-white ShMITT. I find that it really boosts an existing layer of wax myself to increase the slickness. And for $18.95, it's a bit cheaper than DG 901.
