    Well I'm on my 2nd bottle, so there's thatWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    This product is very easy to use but doesn't smell too good, think Raid but on the good side you know they only care about the product working rather than trying to dilute it with a scent. My suggestion is to do your interior before your done driving it for the day(s) and you'll be fine because I don't notice the scent the next day.

    Now I've got my interior coated with Gyeon Shield, a couple times and maintain it with TWHS Interior Detailer, Geist leather, DIY Imterior Clean & Protect (use a soft brush to work it into the Alcantera) and when I forget how long it's been...this DIY Detail Interior Ceramic, so yes it's overkill but considering winter is coming you can never be TOO protected in the interior.

    In closing this product is so great because it works on EVERYTHING in the interior...vinyls, leather and Alcantera, so protect away! Btw I've got some piano black bits and if you get it on that no worries, just buff off with a mf towel.

    If you've got more questions let me knowWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Agree with everything on DIY Interior. The smell isn't great but the versatility and functionality reigns supreme.

    DIY is doing a lot of ceramic deals right now and with Black Friday coming up, I would expect at least a 20% off deal in the near future. I'm waiting to stock up on Quick Beads and Interior Ceramic. Hoping the Interior Clean & Protect can hold off a few more weeks.

    I haven't used a bad product from them yet, the 20% off sales help alot! I'm waiting for their upcoming pre-wash but after using both Touchless and Auto-foam from Bilt-Hamber, well, they've got their work cut out IMOWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I gave the Mrs.’ SUV a good hand washing. I do love the way EXOv5 beads and I’m quite pleased with how well CarPro Darkside is holding up. It’s been over a month and the tires still have that fresh off the assembly line look. Unfortunately something tragic happened during the wash. I moved my car and parked on the side of the road in front of my house and a neighbor backed into my front bumper. It sucks because she’s such a nice person and I hate it that her insurance will probably go up knowing how much body shops charge for even the most minute damage.

    Yep it cleans good and like I said I'm OK re-waxing periodically. Taking care of one vehicle is easy enough. I don't want a depleted uranium super ultra duper ceramic armor ultimate coating. My pH friendly foam is Sonax Actifoam Energy seems to do well enough. Once ounce in the cannon makes stupid suds.
