    Gyeon Rim apply in cold weather

    Went ahead and did it indoors. The smell wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. End up putting 2 coats on at about 24 hrs apart. I was expecting the coating to flash but after applying to the entire wheel and waiting a few more minutes the product never flashed. The instructions said...

    Gyeon Rim apply in cold weather

    I just purchased a new set of painted and clear coated 4Play wheels. Being in Indiana I also picked up some Gyeon Rim to put on them to protect against road salt. However I didn't realize that the minimum recommended temperature to apply it is around 59F and it's going to be colder than that...

    Griots 3 in 1 not lasting?

    I was debating on trying uber or Mckees but decided to go with ONR again since I haven't used the "new" formula.

    Griots 3 in 1 not lasting?

    Yes I shook the bottle often, before every spray. Interesting note about the Optimum wash. I'm about out and was planning on heading to Harbor Freight later this week to pick up another item and get some Hyperwash while I'm there. Did you notice the same with ONR? I also just ordered another...

    Griots 3 in 1 not lasting?

    That's good to hear on the TWHSC since I just bought some and have the wet wax on order for a drying aid. Guess I'll also looking into Cancoat as well.

    Griots 3 in 1 not lasting?

    It was clayed and polished this spring before the 1st application. The subsequent applications no. I've thought about can coat but I also like quick easy processes as I don't have a lot of time to devote to detailing. If it wasn't collinte not lasting either I'd write off the product. I am...

    Griots 3 in 1 not lasting?

    Sorry for 3 posts in a row. This truck is also new to me. It's 2 years old and don't know what the previous owner used but it was buttery smooth and large beads of water when washed. However it was swirled pretty bad and I think it was because of the tunnel wash the dealer used where I bought it.

    Griots 3 in 1 not lasting?

    I'm having an issue with Griots 3 in 1 ceramic spray not lasting, 4 weeks and it's completely gone on the hood and roof of my truck. This spring I did my first ever correction using 3d speed. I used carpro eraser after using speed because I wanted a clean surface for the 3n1. I did 2 coats of...

    Picking out DA and polish for a newb

    I was able to finish the truck this weekend and it looks great! I wasn't able to get any pics cause it was dark by they time I finished and had to take the truck in to get some warranty work done on Monday. However it took about 20 hours to wash, clay, polish, & wax. When I need to do this...

    Picking out DA and polish for a newb

    Got a chance to look at the test panels at sunset yesterday and they look great! 1000% improvement! I was hoping to do the rest of the truck this weekend but with a high of only 50degress it might keep me out of the garage LOL. Also got to make time to change out my well pressure tank as...

    Picking out DA and polish for a newb

    The spring time honey do list has kept me from doing a full correction but yesterday I had enough time to try the setup on one bedside and door. Speed with the LC white pad wasn't cutting it. It took around 12 passes to get around 70-80% defect removal on a test pass. So then I switched over...

    Picking out DA and polish for a newb

    I used it last year on all 3 vehicles applying it by hand. I probably went a little too thick but it was hard to tell where it was applied unless I went thick. I totally forgot about getting a pad to apply it with the DA... got place another order LOL

    Picking out DA and polish for a newb
