Surf City Review

[pawpaw]

Ok received some products from AG, thanks again Meghan, new Surf City Garage line.


Was able to try some this afternoon. Test vehicle wife's 1999 Ford Expedition

Before Photos: Was not in real bad shape, but did need a wash and quick wax detail, perfect for the products I had in hand.

Game plan:

1) Pacific Blue Wash & Wax using two bucket method and White/Yellow ShMITT. This stuff produced alot of suds. 8 oz bottle $3.99 / 2 Liter $16.99. I really liked this stuff, I have been using Duragloss 901, but I like this alot better, alittle more expensive. I did not measure out but I believe I used less product.

Grandson showing me how it is done, said he had better be getting paid:

2) Dried with MF and blower. I do not have a guzzler to dry so used a Cobra MF. Seemed to dry alittle different than my Duragloss, may be the wax in the product.

After Wash & Wax and Dry:

So, What do we think of Pacific Blue Wash & Wax:

3) Speed Demon Wax Detailer w/ MF: 24oz $12.99 / 2 Liter $24.99 Spray on and dry with MF, then buff. Description says that can be used on glass and chrome. Did not use on glass and had chrome polish to try out on chrome. Will use on glass tomorrow. Went on very easy, did not take much product to do entire truck.

So, what is verdict on Speed Demon Wax Detailer:

4) Diamond Edge Metal Dressing 8oz bottle $12.99. Used on front bumper and chrome around grill. Picture may not show it but this stuff makes chrome really shine. This comes out thick like a polish, goes on easy, let it dry and wipe off, easy application.

5) Killer Chrome Perfect Polish 8oz bottle $9.99. This is alittle thinner than Diamond Edge. Used this on wheels and did see alittle difference. I was not as impressed with this stuff as much as I am of Diamond Edge. May have to do in part by this is in their Street Legal line and Diamond Edge is in their Hi-Def Line. Have looked at their web site but do not claim to know all about their different products. Will give this product another try this weekend on chrome trim of another vehicle. Sprayed tire well with cheap AA and Poorboys Bold and Bright on tires, needed to wipe down before I took picture, got in alittle hurry trying to finish up.

In Conclusion: All this is my opinion so take it for what that is worth.

I do like these products, will I buy some? yes. Especially Wash & Wax, and Diamond Edge metal dressing. I will need to watch the durability and lasting of Wax Detailer though, but right now I do like. Will give Killer Chrome another shot and still have Maximum Metal Perfect Polish and Dash Away Interior Spray which I will be trying out this weekend and give review then. One thing I did like was each bottle product has a cap stopper that protected the product from spilling in delivery. The spray bottle wax detailer and interior spray did not, they probably don't need.


I enjoyed getting these surprise gifts and enjoyed using these products. Hope you all enjoyed and I feel that this line is worth a try.

LOL I didn't even think of that. Pawpaw, next time you do a detail, do a "Sparkie" signature reflection shot, using your grandson's feet in Croc's. LOL That'll be too cool.
