Let me help you...GO FOR IT! Have you used Griot's Garage products before

Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

I think I might! No I haven't used any of their products yet. But I do have it. I use a Porter Cable DA.

I'll try the waterless wash first, then clay bar, and tape moldings off.

Any tips?

Tips....welcome to the cult! I've been a customer since 2005 and while I use many other products it is a brand you could use exclusively if you were a sane person but I'm not when it comes to detailing

I bought their Fast Correcting Creme to use on my girlfriends hammered Cruize this spring but all the reviews on Boss products have been 5 star I've been very happy with everything I've used from them, seriously. Their 3 step foaming products are REALLY good, been through multiple bottles of Surface prep, Surface Wash and Poly Gloss. They don't have to be used 1-2-3 either...like I said welcome to the cult

Awesome I'll give the fast acting cream and correcting cream a try! I have Lake Country orange and white pads.

Your all set on pads and I bet that LX doesn't need a flat pad offered by Griot's Garage but just know they have great pads for more "involved" detailing. Since converting my 12 yr old GG6 and GG3 to 1" smaller pads via their smaller backing plates it makes detailing THAT much easier

Thanks guys. I bought the lower grill to fix that part of it but I’m not going to worry about the bumper right now. I would like to find a shop that can just repair the crack and repaint the bumper. Dodges paint quality sucks. The car is already full of little chips every where. And I hope that raccoon died a painful death.

They will more than likey just sand it down,fiberall it and then body filler, then prime and paint it.

I would just get a new bumper cover if it were me, beings it is brand new but to each there own

Got my new Silverado in my heated garage yesterday and last night I had the time so first i put some nice nice Stainless steel steps on it so Mama can get in and out of it.................
then I was in the zone
I ran it through the touch less right before i pulled it in the Garage.
I gave it a waterless for starters.
Then a quick clay. It was pretty clean didn't pick up very much crap at all.
( Short train ride from Fort Wayne to just south of St. Paul. There is/was snow in the ground for most of the train ride in Dec so I think less rail dust??)
Then I went over the whole truck with a sopping wet plush microfiber. Wiped it dry.
(There was some very light scratches from the dealer wash when they took delivery of the truck before I ever saw it.)
So I hit with Blackfire One step with a blue Lake country on my PC 7424xp set on 3-4.
Then I gave it a squirt of Dream Maker .
Turned out spectacular.
Here's a teaser .
I'll roll it outside in a bit.

Love Blackfire one-step. Easy to use and always seem to give great results. The truck looks great!

I also just got some dream maker. Flashes quick and doesn’t streak on black. I’m tired of putting bead maker on a my cars. The self cleaning ability is sub par IMO. So I hope I continue to like dream maker because it will just provide good but not inhibit the water behavior of the main product.

A couple years ago I wouldn't have had the balls to polish any of my vehicles.
Thanks to an encouraging Mike Phillips and all the support from members here I now think nothing of breaking out the PC 7424xp on my new $60,000 truck with 168 miles on it
Outside pics don't do justice
Thanks again guys.

The only thing I don't t like about BF one step is the dust.
But it's manageable.

We had "something" today, wouldn't call it a storm but there's the ES in all its glory

Supposed to be 47 and partly sunny on Sunday, so a chunk of this will go away, maybe it's time for the quarter careash and a real "snow storm"...with my new IK Foam 12 and mini air compressor hack, stay "tuned"

Leaving work today, parked in the shade in the morning, bright sun in the afternoon, but cool looking reflections off bright yellow building.

Back again, sorry. But I'm a sucker for a good sunset shot. Taken just 5 minutes ago.

It appears that 3D has some new stuff and are getting after it

Yes sir it is an aio. Its originally been out for some years now. But never heard of 3D along with so many other brands until i met AGO almost a year ago. My mind has been blown and on overload with products/information sinve then. Detailing game is on another level for sure

And my typo mistake, it does not claim to not have any fillers. I tried to double check that but cant find where i thought i read it. Dont want to be spreading disinformation .
