    Re: Anodized Rotor Clean and Protect

    Sorry, my post wasn't super clear. I am referring to the anodized aluminum hats on the rotors only, not the rotors themeselves. I believe the products I am using now would not harm the hats and the...

    Re: Using snow foam to wash car

    Op- Going to second the above CleanIT. That rinse in-between the foam and shampoo helps avoid the risk of product drying on a hot summer day, or even just a day with intense sunlight.
  11. Re: New coating - first wash - Reset or something else?

    For Ceramic coatings I generally would match the shampoo to the coating. For example CQuartz with Reset, CSL with G wash etc. With that being said, Reset is a great shampoo and you should be fine...

    Re: how much tds is too high

    You would spot some (light), but I would imagine those water spots would be easy enough to remove when you go to wash your car for real.

    I agree that it sucks seeing your car dirty, but I would...

    Re: how much tds is too high

    They used to say that and I usually go to that point; however their documentation with my unit says anything over 0 ppm could cause spotting.

    OP- The official answer is anything over 0 ppm on the...

    For user friendliness and longevity I am a fan of Gtechniq CSL + EXO. As Guz said EXO does take away some slickness; however it makes up for that in the gloss and repellency added to your applied...

    It provides enough of a glossy finish that you will be able to tell there is added gloss. No, you do not need to toss your microfiber towels after application.
