At least I still have 3.5 gallons of ONR mixed up and the high for tomorrow is above freezing (last time for the rest of the week). If the roads are dry by tomorrow afternoon I’ll do another rinseless wash.
Side note: there was AWESOME beading on the paint when I just went out to move the car into the garage. I gotta think that’s the Meg’s HCW I put on a couple months ago more so than the GG Speed Shine I just applied today, right?

Speedshine will bead but not crazily. The ceramic SS beads better but non of griots products are bead monsters. Yeah most likely the HCW or combo of both.

I’ve heard that the CSS doesn’t wipe/flash off as well.

The CSS just takes a little more buffing because it has GC3-1 in it. Still pretty easy to use but not regular speed shine easy.
Think i’m going back to regular QD’s w/o protection. I add enough LSP’s where I don’t need the extra.

Clarity isn't cheap and I'm trying to use that for the inside glass because of my tint. That said Griot's Garage has never let me down, I'm sure that glass cleaner isn't going to be the first

The glass cleaner is a decent and definitely cheap form of protection. I feel it’s a better than CSS on glass and it’s cheaper.
I look at it as an after wash glass cleaner and then it’s fine. Haven’t tried to clean dirty glass with it so well see.

So mixing 2oz to 32 is like 6% in the container. When you spray through it mixes with water.
Trying to figure out PIR is time consuming but with most electric PW and foam cannon the mix in the bottle works out to near 50/50 of water an AF in container of foam cannon. With a foam gun and a hose with higher GPM i would start out minimum 25% touchless or autofoam and 75% water.

You can hit it untill the foam runs white. But generally a tyre thing that happens
Try BO Agent orange

I was looking at the tyres today, they look a lot less brown now than they did on the weekend, and I haven't put anything on them. I'll have to get some of that Agent Orange to try out, I have quite a few of their products, and most are pretty good.
