Has anyone tried the Chemical guys wash and wax or extreme body wash & wax? All the talk of chemical guys and finally seeing their website for myself has me interested!

Yes that is why I recommend you wipe off the excess and only do this every few years at most (if even that often really). A lot of people here have already made a very good point. How often do you really see stiff, squeaky, car doors? Especially on today's cars with much lighter doors and better...

The liquid white lithium grease that comes in a spray can is usually best for door hinges. Spray all the hinges, rollers, ect well and then wipe any excess with a paper towel or old shop rag. Lubing door hinges is usually only needed every few years if done properly.

Will the DG 601 affect the cleaning ability or ease of application of the 501? I am mostly looking for the the cleaning power and ease of use in 501, the durability is just a nice second.

Matt, I can't help you with the swirls but can help with removing the white wax residue. Take a stiff bristled tooth brush wet it and the area on the trim with simple green and scrub thoroughly. Do this twice and the wax residue will be totally gone.

Well I think I have made up my mind (unless someone wants to throw a wrench in the gears and give me more input ; ) ). I am going to try the ultima wash soap and DG 501 for my AIO. Ultima seems like a great wash that meets my needs and I don't have to buy a whole gallon of it. The DG 501 seems...

Hey thanks bob, I currently use megs gold class, Megs clay kit, KAIO and collinite 476's. All of which were bought here except for the gold class soap. I just posted my first thread in detailing 101 too, check it out!

Hi guys, I have been lurking here for a while and have learned a lot from you. After learning as much as I can and doing lots of searches here, I decided it was time for me to join up and ask some questions of my own. Just for background info, I have 2 silver cars that are my every-other day...

Wow several responses just minutes after I posted, nice! Thanks guys

Hi every body, My name is Adam and I have been lurking here for quite a while. Your posts here are very helpful and they come quick too, I just had to get in on it! I am not really a serious detailer, I am more of just a car guy in general and enjoy taking good care of my vehicles, including...
