    Re: Surf City Garage (rant)

    I appreciate all the feedback.

    it's a forum and we should be able to debate differences in opinions. The best way to progress in any trade is to exchange experiences. If not, what's the use?

    I appreciate your questions above.

    My technique?

    Wash car if needed. Dry Car.

    Spray glass cleaner in short controlled mists across cool glass panel, out of sun. Wipe with microfiber A folded into fourths. Buff with Microfiber B, folded into forths.

    Repeat if necessary.

    It's all good. this product will get more trial runs.. it's just that most products i've tried that have been recommended by forum members and sold by AG have not disappointed.

    I was surprised. Maybe the position of the moon relative to mars was causing the polar caps to shift the properties of the glass cleaner that night... IDK

    That is what it is all about. The good news there are plenty of other products to try.

    I did like the Glass Cleaner but not used any other products.

    I use one towel with this stuff and no special glass cleaning method and I still get no streaks. Try using very little product before you up and give it away.

    Ok, so just out of idle curiousity what happened to the company? Their products used to be available on AG ?

    I've never really heard of SCG until about 2 weeks ago when I noticed Walmart started selling their products which they had a lot of. I just thought they were some company that sounded cool with no real reputation. I'll be taking a closer look next time I go to Walmart now.

    I saw their products at Pep Boys yesterday. The Barrier Reef Spray Wax looked interesting but I'll stick to Aquawax and Wolfgang Spritz Sealant for now.
