I'm going to have fun with this, so bear with me, it's just a carwash! I wanna apologize for the lack of creativity with the products used, Deyon, if still on the forum, would be disappointed in me

Let the games...BEGIN

Representing the U.K...birthplace of Heavy Metal, original Top Gear and the greatest guitarists ever (JIMI wasn't from there but he broke there and claimed them as their own...no arguments from KA)

Bilt-Hamber Touchless

I'm no math whiz, the whole PIR ratio makes my head spin, but I know this, 3 oz of this product and 27 oz of water made for amazing pre-wash! I went around the EN twice and I could see the ADS Quartz fighting it off but after rinsing it off the beading...my God the beading

The Bilt-Hamber Touchless I have is in gallon size, so instead of bringing the entire gallon, I simply made my 30 oz mix in an old juice jug, that's why you see an empty jug there

Reprenting Italy...the home of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Alfa Romeo and pizza, oh yeah, Sofia Loren

Labocosmetica Semper

I was given a used bottle of this product by forum member Brr, one of many truck drivers knocking it out out there for us, they truely "Bring the Good Stuff"...thanks Brandon

This is my 2nd experience using a Labocosmetica product, first was Idrosave and it's either #1 RW for me or #1a, depends on the day if I'm honest

I used ONE OUNCE in about 2.5 gallons, then used the power washer to make suds and DAYM did it make suds, I brought it up somewhere between 3-3.5 gallons and suds stayed the entire 2BM. So how about the wash with it...SMOOTH and rinsed away easily and the beading was just insane, paint was just C L E A N

Representing Australia...home of the upside down Stig, Deyon, BigDave, Tasmania and AC/DC

Nv Jet

Now my ADS Quartz is only 4.5 monthes old and holding up great but you guys know me, probably all too well and I just had to "boost it"! I have several Nv products but chose Jet because of its hydrophobic but I can assure you the gloss boost left behind was impressive, taken to 11

Ok...the wash products are introduced and their performance today was most impressive, all worked as a team to produce results...

Hold for our next products, stay "tuned"....

ADS Tire Cleaner

I will say I didn't wanna run out and added something else to the bottle, it's usually blue but nonetheless, a simple go around started the tire to turn brown and a simple scrub/rinse cleaned the Michelin X-Ice's perfectly!

ADS Tire Dressing...now the ADS Ghost is relatively fresh but I just wanted a little boost and you've gotta love that look...I DO

Griot's Garage Tire/Wheel/Mat Cleaner has been a surpising product since introduced last year I believe. I use it on my WeatherTechs and Tires only. Today I simply sprayed my WeatherTechs and let it sit and just rinsed off, game out great as always

Represnting South Korea...home of Hyundai/KIA/Genesis...great designs and tech, they're always keeping it fresh and greatness here, more is coming

CarPro WheelX

A brand new product to the market, yes it still stinks but can "almost" be used as a "spray on, hose off" product but none of do that, agitation makes them totally CLEAN!

Representing Poland...home of my great grandmother, Kielbasa & Pierogi and hard working people!

Pure:est S1

This brand is a sleeper out there, I've used several of their products and this, as well as their pre-wash soap, smells like men's cologne. My wheels have been treated with this product and I couldn't be happier with clean up afterwards and how the satin black inserts look, don't sleep on Pure:est

More coming....

Reppin' S. Korea again is CarPro Clarify Phobic

This product is controversial to say the least, let me explain. It's tricky to use, truely "less is more" and I mean it here!! Your almost better with some water on the glass actually but today it didn't streak or haze but even if it does what it does afterwards...WOW! This product must rival glass coatings...what's in that bottle

Here comes the USA once again!

DIY Detail Interior Clean & Protect. Now I know some don't like this brand and I get it and once I'm done with their products I'll move along, namely to ADS and others. That said, I really like this product...finishes nicely, smells great and easy to use, sounds like I'm selling you guys on it, huh

Griot's Garage Stinky Be Gone Monkey Gas...it doesn't smell like a primates fart, THAT I can tell you! All 5 Griot's Garage Stinky Be Gone scents are must haves, try them all, I have and it's going to be a apart of the collection as each one is used up...whenever that is

The last product, in the Griot's Garage spray bottle is actually Adam's WW and it was given to me by a buddy who eats, sleeps and drinks everything Adam's and I must admit it always performs, today it did a very quick wipedown of the EN's engine bay

Ok, almost done and hope you enjoyed the product breakdown and our hobby truely is a worldwide obsession, everyone brings something to the table and we're better and happier because of it...THANK YOU WORLD

Finished results coming...stay "tuned"

Random question - the lit up N logos on the seats... an option from factory or something you did on your own? These were the little things Genesis was not doing in the beginning. If they started adding that type of stuff as options, they are really going to give the luxury brands a real run from Korea.

I've never had an issue with CarPro Phobic. In fact, I really like it and it's the one glass cleaner I keep going back to, especially given the protection.

I thought CarPro Wheel X was pretty solid. Made it a touchless wash product combined with Chem-X a few weeks ago.

Is that BH Auto Foam a dark color? I'm trying to get through Touchless still and my AF is sealed. I figured all their products would be very European and a boring brownish color.

The glowing N badges come from Hyundai like that

Bilt-Hamber Touchless is a light green color, Auto-foam is a light yellow, I'm out of that and have Touchless as The Clean Garage was selling off their stock cheap, so I bought a gallon. While I LOVE it I'm going to see how Labocosmetica does with their pre-wash for traditional washes because it's supposed to be really something, I get my Labocosmetica 3pH traditional system tomorrow, so at some point we'll see if Bilt-Hamber has legit competition...stay "tuned"

Awesome work Roger, the EN is looking sharp.

I forgot about the gloss boost from NV Jet till I used it last week, and I've been holding off washing the FJ this week, I mean it's not dirty, just a bit dusty, because I'm waiting to see it's self cleaning the next time it rains. I don't want QD it because I want to see Jets behaviour, but then I remembered Boost V2, I have it on the shelf, yes, I remembered it because you used the word "boost", and I don't mind using it because it's designed to boost NV's coatings. This makes me think I should reorganise my shelf by brand rather than product type.

I have Lustre, Jet and Boost v2. It's supposed to rain Monday night so the self cleaning of Jet should show itself since it's so fresh but the ADS Quartz also has great self-cleaning, based on that the joint venture between should mean NO DIRT sticks

The latest version of Touch-less is a rather unflattering shade of yellow. I guess when a product performs as well as Touch-less does, you don't need pretty colors and scents.

Big fan of DIY Interior Clean and Protect, nice finish, nice scent.

Tire+ is one of my current favorites, works exceptionally well as a topper to Ghost.

ClarifyPhobic? I've struggled with it from day one. And yet it seems to work for most, I just can't get it streak free like other glass cleaners or even the similar concept Optimum Glass Clean & Protect.

Yesterday it was 100% problem free, first time but even when it wasn't perfect, the next wash it sorted itself out AND the beading...off the charts
