    The Boyd Review

    Hello All

    Bobby at AG was kind enough to send me the following to review:

    The Boyd Review-04253c8f-2ee4-4774-bb59-d56d6135b1c7-jpg

    I used the full product line on 2014 Porsche Cayman R, the client requested wax only, no sealant or coatings on the paintwork as it will given a full correction in the Spring of 2018.

    Wheels first: here is the shot of the dirty wheel:
    The Boyd Review-3815004f-90b3-4a5e-82c9-e0078fdccf17-jpg

    The wheel cleaner to my surprise did have the chemical make up to turn brake dust purple and it did have that all familiar chemical ordor we love/hate so well and the product tried to mask the smell with a hint of grape scent. I would give this B- because this product would work very good on a well maintained wheel.

    After shot:

    Next up is the shampoo, which smelled like grape bubblegum, the directions stated use a cap full per gallon, so what is cap full from the black cap on the bottle? I poured water in the cap and it measured .5 of an ounce, so in my bucket which had 4 gallons of water I used 2 ounces and in my foam cannon bottle 2.5 ounces. The product is rather thick and made a little difficult to get the product out of my measuring cup. I had to actually use my finger to remove the product.

    Shampoo gets an B+ as the product is too thick and directions did not state ounce mearurents and if I used the cap from the bottle it would have made a mess of the bottle after use

    The wax, it had no order at all, easy to use, spread thin, a little goes a long way

    Here is the shot of open jar, a little disappointed on appearance.

    Tool used and the 3” pad fit in the jar very well and forgot what a pleasure it is to use the Griots mini
    The Boyd Review-f35c0c34-a850-48ce-b830-a404065d7d83-jpg

    The wax gets a B+ as the product should have been smooth/level when you open the jar

    The glass cleaner was very nice to use no streaks or hazing, I spayed the product on a white glass towel and turned it over to buff the rest off, the product smelled like wintergreen
    The Boyd Review-3a029ce7-a4da-4d8c-be72-856dc32cec9b-jpg
    I’m giving this A, it did what it is meant to do

    Metal polish had no fragrance and was white in apperance
    The Boyd Review-7fb013c1-1104-45b9-a1eb-16eecea52dc7-jpg

    Here is what it took off on the exhaust
    The Boyd Review-e8919258-4e92-484d-b46b-399ae45cbfa8-jpg
    This gets a solid A

    Tire dressing very nice product not to thick or runny, I used a Carrand tire brush and applied the product direct on the brush
    The Boyd Review-bb579c0e-009d-4f7a-bf97-de69874bff99-jpg
    The product once applied gives the tires a very shiny black apperance but my OCD got to me and used a papertowel to knock the shine down in fear of tire sling and because I know what my client likes his tires to look like

    Here are the glory shots:

    The Boyd Review-6b3a90db-b048-4eed-abea-70da7a96c5d6-jpg


    Final thoughts and observations:

    The red plug....in the shampoo, metal polish, wheel cleaner are a pain to remove, I had to use a thin head screwdriver to remove them and while removing them I had remain cautious to not spill product
    The Boyd Review-83afeee5-703c-4d7c-b985-a826a70f7b7a-jpg

    Look at the first pictures, the labeling of the product is not consistent, “Detailing Garage” is in an oval and not in an oval. The apperance of the wax in the open jar. The small things, I know... Did the products perform as they should have YES, will my clients ever see the products probably not

    I hope you enjoyed the review

    All the best

    Great review atgonzales! The Cayman looks fantastic!

    How the wax looks is appalling.

    Re: The Boyd Review

    Thank you for posting this honest review on the Boyd Coddington Detail Garage products. I'm not sure what happened to the jar of Signature Series Carnauba Paste Wax. Was the box damaged during transit? I just went and pulled 10 jars off the shelf and opened them up and they all look perfectly fine.

    I personally don't like the red plugs in the bottles either. Boyd Jr is going to be switching over to the foil seals. He is also working on new labels for the bottles.

    I've been using the Boyd Coddington One Step Wheel Cleaner and Extreme Black Tire & Rubber Dressing for a while now.

    Here's a 2011 Grand Sport Corvette I did a few months ago.

    The box could have turned over during the shipping process, the product worked fine, It was just a matter of apperance. Here is an EXACT comment by my client he texted on a full Boyd wash and wax, “Wow it looks incredible.” That says a lot

    Again thank you for the opportunity to do the review for AG
