    I prefer gels. For some reason it feels like the tire gels just apply better and last longer. However, do listen to CarPro with Darkside when it is suggested to use very little. I also highly recommend leveling it later (like 24hrs later if possible to not drive). I was sling city after over applying!

    Didn’t love glass cleaner at first. But I like it after a rinsless. It’s not a strong glass cleaner so rinsless removes bulk of dirt and easy to do while washing car.

    Then use there glass cleaner and I seem to get 3+ weeks of beading. Glass also looked better to me which is weird. I want to say it was all in my head but it did look better to me.

    Ahhh, I seeWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Well Darkside is a bit thicker and because of that, in theory, should last longer. I have it on my g/f's Cruze where it's washed once a week and I refuse to top it like I do my own car, so it's a great test bed for Darkside What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Removing this super old window tint that was failing. It is probably nearly 9 to 10 years old.

    On 1st attempt the tint came off in 2 layers. Black tint layer plus a clear layer.

    On 2nd try I figured it out on the drivers side. Removed it in one piece in about 8 minutes.

    I do not plan to tint it myself. I'll probably pay a pro for that What did you do today, in regards to detailing?Attachment 76628What did you do today, in regards to detailing?-20230514_110955-jpgWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?-20230514_111033-jpgWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?-20230514_111040-jpgWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?-20230514_103343-jpg

    Rainy day in MN. Watching the water pattern bubble and run off the car is the most excitement you’ll find here.

    Got a good wash in. Took the truck on to the beach Saturday and spent today cleaning it.

    Presoak with BH Touchless in Marolex Sprayer then followed up with Descale. Knockout combination. Wet Coat was going strong too. I didn't reapply Wet Coat as there was no need.

    From what I've been gathering Klasse is you have all the big tire dressing lines. I have been trying to get a straight answer on Darkside. Is it your favorite? I like all the above on tire dressings with the exception of dull or matte or short life.

    I did a quick underhood wipe down with Sonax Ceramic Detailer. I’ll use it up as it doesn’t play well with my FK1000p on the bodywork.
