    This is the pre-diluted version of Hyper Dressing, gallon bottles sell for $140 - $170 each in Australia and are virtually unobtainable at the moment. These two bottles, along with the remainder of my 32oz bottle of concentrate should last me quite a while.

    I also took an opportunity to stock up on Gyeon Glass and Gyeon Bathe while they were on sale. Both are excellent products.
    I've still got a half bottle of Bathe+ on the shelf, back from when I was playing with Wetcoat. It's probably about 3 years old, any idea of the shelf life? If I remember right with the +, you wash a panel or two at a time, then rinse straight away, to leave a Wetcoat like coating.

    Not sure to be honest. The manufacture/expiration date may be printed on the bottom of the bottle like Carpro do.

    If in doubt, then just use it for wheels.

    I have actually been using up dud soaps to clean out my wheely bin after it's been emptied each week. Got rid of the better part of a 32oz bottle of the useless P&S Pearl. I'm now running out my stock of NV Snow+.

    Re: Post Your Unpacking Pictures


    So wanted some new felts for IK foam pro 12. The repair packs come with 20 felts. I thought you would need multiple in replacing but you only need one….. I now have 60. Post Your Unpacking Pictures

    Where I ordered had a nice sale and if you spent $100 you get free shipping…….. we all know how we hate to pay shipping…..

    So order a gasket repair kit as well to have on hand.

    Want to replace my all grit gaurds with Dirtlocks so got a couple.

    Got an Autofiber hand held clay disc. Also a couple of their tire applicators as I enjoy using there saver applicators to apply.

    An IK sprayer to see if I want more Kwazars or move to these. Kwazar will probably win out due to size.

    Lastly a gallon of Hole shot from shine supply. It’s for Off Road vehicles but talk to SS a while ago and said it would be a good TFR. Half the price of BH if it works.

    Just watched your video on Darkside.

    I have to say, I see a lot of similarities between Darkside and Gyeon Q2 Tire in terms of look and application. It looked like it remained greasy even after curing like Q2 Tire.

    I also have to wonder why Carpro would bother sending a pump action applicator when it clearly didn't work with the Darkside product. They do the same thing with Perl, supplying it with a trigger sprayer that can't actually spray Perl undiluted. Why they don't simply supply a pop-top lid is beyond me.

    No expiry date, but it has been sitting at the back of the shelf in the dark. I could give it a test on the lawn mower, I know you'll want pics when I'm done.

    Griot's talked about the silicone supply situation in a recent video. I'll try to find the clip.

    It would be rude of you not to show pics of a detailed lawn mower!

    Thanks for that, I had previously heard silicone was in short supply.

    Some have said that Hyper Dressing was done/discontinued, others said it was just on backorder due to the shortages.

    I have come to love Hyper Dressing, it's one of those products that does its job so well without much fanfare, in Australia at least. I have also tried Koch Chemie Motorplast, it's good but not as good as Hyper Dressing. Another that comes close is P&S Shape Up.

    Amongst a bunch of catalogues we got yesterday, I spied this. I might go out and get some to try out, because, why not.
