This just feels like the new private equity owners are doing a sales and marketing play. It feels cheap and backwards to me. SiO2 Ceramic Interior Detailer? What? Too buzz-wordy for me. When Mike was...
Yep. Some vehicles get an annual AIO (3D Speed or Blackfire AIO) and those get nothing more than an easy-to-use spray sealant every few washes. Reason being I'm working in less than ideal polishing...
I'm a power washer guy. I can set up my power washer as fast as it'd take to pull out a hose. Quick disconnects and a higher quality hose make all the difference.
Gonna go against the grain and say 3D; they're my benchmark brand that I always fall back to when I get tired of trying new things. I've had a good experience with all of their products sans a stinky...
Sounds crazy but I’ve done this too. Wash wheels/wells like normal, pressure rinse, and pull into the garage for a rinseless. Helps avoid hard water spots during crazy summer heat. I don’t pre-treat...
This really isn't a question with a black and white answer. It all depends on how dirty the vehicle is, how fresh is the protection, how good is your wash technique, etc. For someone in California...
At the moment it depends on what part of the car we're talking about. I hate doing rims so they get coated because I want something that'll last as long as possible. Paint is the opposite, I want...
I'm sure I'd agree. I guess my question is more geared toward which toppers/sealants aren't clogging everyone's towels and is R&R helping to keep them fresh. Or is it not worth the risk.
Bumping this thread since I'm almost out of 3D Towel Kleen and thinking about grabbing some R&R. I've recently starting using Griots Rinseless Wash and Wax (the purple stuff) as a drying aid/light...
I upgraded from a Ryobi RY14122 and I can tell you it was a noticeable improvement. I don't use a foam cannon at the moment and I swapped out the stock hose/gun/wand immediately so I can't really...
Seriously. And after the initial BIG correction if the car is well maintained (washed regularly, touched carefully) the refresh requires fewer section passes since I only need to remove light towel...
Awesome. I like easy and I already have some One Step in the garage. The cars I maintain usually get a super light polish annually (or some spot correction) so this sounds like a great "coating lite"...
Application has little to do with protection. You can spread margarine on your car with foam pad and I promise you'll be unhappy with the protection. That being said it's likely you can fit more...
This is a great perspective. I’m starting to favor products that are easy to apply; products that “flash” or “melt” into the paint with no streaking, can apply in hot or cold temps, or apply in the...
Funny I like the OG wand, I turn the little kink at the end upwards to get under and around side skirts and running boards when I'm doing the initial rinse.
I recently went through this and got the OG-spec gun. Totally overkill, I wouldn't buy it again but I'd still probably pay up for a swiveling Mosmatic.
