Microfibers, window cleaner and quick detailer are a must. I find an all purpose cleanern a small bottle of ONR, a collapsible bucket and clay bar to be invaluable as well for those grimy-er...
- application is very easy
- smell is slightly chemical with a subtle, pleasant fragrance
- feel is silky smooth (not tacky or oily whatsoever)
- appearance is a satin sheen (no glare)
-...
- Whatever is going to come into contact with the bad road salt underneath the vehicle. Paint, glass, trim, tires, wheels and wheel wells are already maintained.
- Yes, they'll be off to get to the...
Winter paint prep has been beat to death, but how about the undercarriage? What good is pristine paint if the chassis is rots out and you can't drive it anywhere to show?
Don't use 0000 steel wool. Yes, it will work, but with a ton of elbow grease on your part. Why not just polish it out as Mike as shown in several of his videos?
I just inherited two Cyclos and kit (with slip-on wool pads) from my late grandfather-in-law, in a box that hasn't been touched for at least 15 years. I plugged them both in...and they still work!

Washing them separate doesn't mean they have to be machine washed. When your other microfiber towels are in the machine, just wash your glass towels by hand. No cross-linting!

Yep, you were working on that deep crimson '14 Viper over in the service bay! So what was your opinion on the $5700 Stryker Green paint job from the factory?
That B5 Blue pearl looks great on Challengers. It's different, not just another black German luxury sport sedan. Other than the wheels, it's not that obnoxious (it made me smile instead of chuckle...
A bottle of Ultima Paint Guard Plus+ did that to me. Neither continuous, vigorous shaking nor running it under hot water (like Collinite 845) could make it disippate or reduce its footprint in the...
I saw this stunning Stryker Green Viper in person while getting a key fob replaced. It was already polished up, and being wrapped in the self-healing clear film (I had to look up exactly what this...
That's a novel idea, but I don't think their employee inspector signing off on a form of my own would go very far. I do plan on video documenting the inspection which I will make sure is precise in...
I'll soon be shipping two cars back from Hawaii to the mainland. I shipped my wife's car over here without issue a few years ago, but that is far from the norm.
Just make sure the seal is intact. I had a plastic container of Chemical Guys Lava where the lid had a tiny hairline crack and it developed mold within two months.
AG carries at least 25 brands of compounds, polishes and cleaners. Research it (just keep browsing the forums), or not, then pick one. If you like blue bottles, find a blue bottled product and go...
If you don't want to wait for AG to carry CG's reformulation, you can always give Leatherique a try. After I ditched CG stuff, it's what I went with and am very happy with its results.
