I was going to suggest CG's P40. It's a quick detailer with carnuba and looks good without streaks, when used sparingly. I don't think it lasts more than a week or two and it's a little cheaper....
I also use a chenile/dreadlock type mf mitt, one bucket, with grit guard, premisting with a qd dilution, on my DD. I wash once a week and have no problems, but as said, if the car is very...
The purpose of the vinegar is to help remove soap residue. I use it and it definitely makes a difference. Vinegar is also said to reduce hard water deposits and I have very hard water where I live. I...
I've just started using CG's G-6 Hyper Coat. It's water based, extremely easy to apply and gives a nice shine. I'm not sure if its shine equals oil based products but it's not bad. Also cost may be a...
For very soiled MF's, I've been spraying a little Dawn Power Disolver, working it in and rinsing thoroughly then soaking in a 5 gallon bucket. Since switching to Micro-Restore, I just do a load of...
Without throwing more wood on the fire. Since I just bought a bottle of V7 and since I'm now working about 4 miles from one of CG's warehouses, I drove over during lunch today and asked about V7...
OCW for me also. Recently, I've been experimenting/using CG P40 in between washing, etc. I just bought some V7 and after I finished reading the thread from OZD 35, I'm starting to wonder ... I need...
Recently, I've started using Micro-Restore for my mf's with a vinegar rinse. I really didn't believe there was much difference from using something like Tide. I've now changed my mind, since I've...
I just started experimenting (using) with Chemical Guys P40 Instant Detailer with Carnuba. It's easy to apply, no streaking and is around $40 per gallon. The longevity is only so so, but it is a...
For my DD, I've been using Opti's Power Clean at 3:1 and a few selected brushes. On the rare occasions I have any time, I will coat with either a wax or OS on the wheels.
I can't really add much to the above except to say that since it will be raining, definitely stay off of the 405 Freeway. When it rains in "El Lay" people can't understand how to drive in it. I...
Apparently, the product does loosen up over time, going from its original soft paste/gel to a thick liquid. I've noticed this happens to my bottle, especially in the...
+1. Add in Toyota's problems and the timing couldn't be better. I'm not in the market now, but I'd definitely check out the 2011 Sonata. Several years ago, my brother-in-law was stationed in Asia,...
My understanding of vinegar is that it is a soap remover (as already stated), a degreaser, and it lowers the pH level of hard water by bonding to the hw minerals, thus lowering the pH of the water....
