I have not tried Blackfire Trim & Tire Sealant yet but it sounds interesting. I do use WETS and I agree that it looks great to you first apply it but it is gone after a day. I recently tried Griots Garage Ceramic Trim Sealant and I was very pleased. It has lasted many weeks and it makes trim...

I soak my TufShine brush in a bucket of water diluted with Megs D101. I get great foam on the tire on the first and second scrubbings. I don’t always use the TufShine cleaner because dedicated tire cleaners can get expensive. A better and more economical alternative is LA Totally Awesome diluted...

Cleaning the inside of a windshield can be a chore not only for the dirt and haze but also for the odd contours. You have to bend your arm and wrist in unnatural ways to get to all of the trouble spots. The type of towel that you use is as important as the cleaner. As far as a cleaner goes, I...

Driving home on the back roads last night, I encountered a lot of bugs. Their bodies have a low pH and their acidic nature leave enzymes behind that will eat through clear coat. Not on MY clear coat. Poorboys Bug Squash and Griots Bug Barricade took care of that. No shortage of bugs on a warm...

Weeks of snow, slush, rain, salt, grit wreaked havoc on my wheels and paint. My quest for a clean tire just got closer to reality. After three scrubbings with LATA the tires still were not clean. Griots Garage Rubber Prep completely cleaned the tires and made them ready for their ceramic...

I have used Mothers Back to Black Tire cleaner in the past with good success. It is a spray on wipe off product but you go through a lot of towels. If the IPA really works, then maybe I'll try some rot gut whisky.

Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel is a safe but effective leather cleaner. Coupled with a Sonax leather brush and plain terry towel it leaves the leather completely clean ready for a treatment or coating. People are amazed when I show them the dirt that comes off of the seats and onto the terry towel...

Do you mean IPA as in India Pale Ale? If it works for cleaning tires, imagine what it does to your liver. LA Totally Awesome from the Dollar General works best for me.

I would consider using a Tornador Black Z-020 cleaning gun with their cleaner solution. The Tornador works best if you have an air compressor capable of 5 CFM at 90 psi.

I sing while detailing. My neighbors say that I sound pretty good.

I generally start with a dryer and then the best towel I have used is the Griots PFM Edgeless.

The 16 year old truck got a rinseless wash and was finished off with Griots 3 in 1. The tires got Duragloss 253. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am always in search of my next favorite tire dressing. I have tried many but my favorites are Duragloss 253, Griots Long Lasting Tire Dressing and my recent favorite is Griots Ceramic Tire Dressing. It does last a long time and the tires do not turn brown. I got a bottle of Meguiars Endurance...

I have one and I tried it last week. So far so good. The fittings are good and solid and it has a shutoff valve. I used the first iteration of this type of hose a few years ago and it was a disaster. It literally blew up in my face. I did eventually get my money back.

I am always looking for the next best tire dressing and tried the Griots Ceramic Tire dressing. I made sure that I started with a thoroughly clean tire and applied two coats. I am pleased with the look and how long it has been lasting. Even after driving through the rain, the tires stayed black...
