My First Time

Yeah... I just have a lot of it lying around. Can't bring myself to throw it away so I'm just using it on wheel wells and rubber until it runs out. Open to suggestions on a replacement.

Which rubber parts did you apply it onto? I'm just curious as I don't see too much plastic/rubber trim from the photos.

Great job.

Interior, if you want to keep a product on it other than just an interior detailer, Chemical Guys VRP is pretty great.
Exterior gel, i use Chemical Guys trim gel
Tires, i use Meguiars endurance gel

None of these give an extreme shine or "wet look" as that just isnt my personal preference. I like a matte/factory sheen or a slight shine.

I would also suggest using a different option for your clay bar, especially if storing it. IF the soap isnt Ph balanced, can lead to some degradation of the clay itself.

AA Extreme Shine Tire Gel is actually a water based tire gel, there's nothing wrong with it, just sayin.

Trim: DLUX or Gyeon Trim. Tires: Gyeon Tire or Hyperdressing 2:1. Actually, I think Hyperdressing all around is great.

Came out looking great, uziel! That was the hard part and hopefully maintaining all that hard work will now be easier.

Looks great!

Definitely hooked. Whether that's a good thing though...

Dude...yer screwed! This stuff is worse than crack. If'n you do this for fun/hobby you'll always wonder "Hmmm...that looks pretty cool, I'd like to try that", then Autogeek scrolls a banner saying "X% Off!!! 24 Hours Only!!!" and your credit card comes flying outta your wallet and now you need to find more storage space.

You'll find yourself watching hours of YouTube videos of nothing more than water sheeting of body panels and hoping for more ( do this when you're alone cuz other people will think you're crazy if they see you mesmerized by water beading and sheeting).

You'll fall prey to thinking there's a bit more gloss and clarity to be had even when you're paint looks like a mirror...

There's many more rabbit holes to dive down but I gotta go now...just recd a notice that Griots just posted a new video on the best way to clean lug nuts.

The rubber seals on the doors apart from the wells. Not for looks, just to keep it pliable (and to use up the AA LOL).

Like you, I'm not really into the "very shiny" look. The AA Extreme Tire Gel really does the job in the looks department. Durability-wise we will see...

You guys can be sure that I will be looking up all those products! Thanks for the info.
