    Surf City Review-05 GTO

    I got a sample of some Surf City Garage products, and did my car up in them this weekend and took some pictures at work.

    Process:
    wash
    Duragloss 901 with LC Utli-Mitt

    Strip
    Pinnacle Paintwork cleanse lotion

    I then followed this up with the Nano Shine Glaze. I didn't top it with anything since this glaze is a polymere glaze, so it is almost like a sealant/glaze all in one (or at least that is what I got out of it).

    It went on and came off easy, I used a cobra Indigo to remove. I added lots of depth to my black paint and didn't harm the metallic by muting it. I really like the looks of this.

    I went on to my aluminum exhaust tips with Absolutly Aluminum Perfect polish. I liked how this cleaned up my bare tips. My car runs rich (conservative) from the tune for the Heads and Cam, so this causes a lot of soot to collect on the tips. They get dirtier faster than the wheels. This did clean them well, but I did not like the consistancy of the polish. It has the consistancy of water, so my applicator and towel soaked it up very fast causing me to use a lot of product. Other than that, it works fine.

    Dimond Edge Wheel Dressing came out next. I liked this product. Reminded me a lot of DP wheel glaze. I will have to report back on the durability of it though.

    Dash Away quick Interior Spray worked much like DP Total Interior cleaner. A good product. I didn't really have a dirty dash, but I let it accumulate some extra dust for my test. I don't have any pictures because my camera died out on me after the exterior.

    Over all, I like the SurfCity Line a will be picking up some more.

    So did the glaze cover up the sweet holograms?

    I will agree with Greg that the metal polish consistancy is way to liquidy. It's almost like water and I can see where a lot of it gets lost in the applicator.

    The goat looks good, and nice review.
    Is the wheel sealant as big of a pain to use on the stock gto 17s as DP wheel glaze?

    edit- wow, all gto owners in here....

    Looking good . Does Pinnacle Cleansing Lotion leave any oils that will make sealants have bonding issues? Thanks for the review!

    Thanks for the review. Looks sweet, I love those cars.
    Are those smudges on the hood in the first picture? Towards the middle?
