What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

[Eldorado2k]

So before taking my g/f's Cruze in for an oil change I got it washed.

*nods* Standard operating procedure.

So most people, including my g/f, was happy after the pre-wash/touch-free wash but WE ALL aren't most people, so when I got home from the oil change (synthetic 5w30 BTW) I did a WW, a Feynlab WW at that! Once done with that I also re-cleaned the tires & wheels and it pulled BROWN out of them, remember, I pre-cleaned them at the touch-free wash w/Bilt-Hamber Surfex before going into the wash, also foamed them with the "cocktail" pre-wash

Once the tires were dry I applied a single, good coat of Griot's Garage Ceramic tire dressing and I'm going to predict this right here, right now...Once tried by people, it's going to be their GO TO tire product for 2023️️

Seems to be the case based on availability. I've been watching and on Griot's now all but the gallon size is sold out. Never available anywhere else.

Griot's shipping is overpriced. Costs almost as much the chemicals themselves.

For the tires/wheels I used Bilt-Hamber Surfex @3:1 and my Mother's tire and wheel brush. Then I made a special mix in the IK Foam Pro 12...4 oz of Bilt-Hamber Auto-foam, 1 oz of DIY Detail Incredible Suds & 1 oz of DIY Detail All Clean and foamed it down and ran through the touch-free wash. The very bottom panels have a very light haze of traffic film, not too bad!

How do you find the Cruze?

These were sold in Australia between 2009 right through until GM killed the Holden brand completely. The earlier ones (first gen) were a mixture of Korean made and Australian assembled. The second gen car came from Korea and was rebranded as the Astra sedan. The first gen cars were dogs, especially with transmissions and overall poor quality of build and reliability. The Cruze, along with Captiva SUV's and the Barina (Sonic) were so badly made that it put a lot off the Holden brand, contributing to the demise of the brand overall after they stopped building the RWD Commodore's.

It's basic transportation, nothing more, nothing less. The Cummins dealer I go to everyday for work has a counter guy with a Cruze and his has 300K on the clock, not a diesel either, he just takes care of it.

Unfortunately with all the Nov/Dec sales it'll be awhile before I need $69 worth of stuff at Griot's.

Their ridiculously high shipping usually has me buying their stuff at other places so I'll wait for this one too.

Does gloss die down after a day or two? Might be tires too as I thought looked good on N tires…. Tad glossy here.
