    Leaf Blower for drying

    I purchased a 150mph Craftsman corded leaf blower for $30.00. Lighter (no battery), cheaper, and I do not have to worry about battery running down or recharging. At first I just used it on door handles, wheels, side mirrors, license plates and badging using Griots microfiber drying towels to...

    Camera Advice ?

    I had the following basic criteria when I shopped for a camera. 1. At my grandchildren's birthdays and Christmas under low light conditions without a flash the camera would auto focus within a fraction of a second. 2. At my grandchildren's soccer game I would be able to zoom in without changing...

    Microfiber Boiling vs. Clothes Dryer

    I was using Tide HE and started to notice my GG MF drying towels were starting to move around the water more and absorbing less. Went back to Blackfire MF Restorer and the drying towels seem to be absorbing more.

    Places DA can not reach

    I use Griot's 3" DA for narrow panels, roof pillars, etc. Since AG is having a close out sale the price is pretty good.

    How long does it take for a bird dropping to etch paint?

    Make sure the micro fiber cloth is VERY plush. I found out the hard way that bird droppings can have sand in them. I now keep Megs QD and GG plush blue micro fiber clothes in both my vehicle. Regular micro fiber clothes and bird droppings are an accident waiting to happen.

    Griot Closeout sale

    Just my 2 cents, but GG plush Blue Micro Fiber Towels is all I use to wipe off polish, quick detail, clean bird droppings (could have sand in them), clay, clean windows etc. GG has some very good products including their 6 " and 3" DA Polisher. I hope that AG does not drop GG products as I...

    Maguires Ultimate Wax

    I compared Megs Carnauba Liquid Wax, Megs Ultimate Liquid Wax and Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Wax side by side on 3 panels on my Black Acura CL. All 3 looked great, could not tell the difference. Decided to go with Megs ULW as is a synthetic and should last longer. I was beginning to wonder if I...

    Is there a clear wax that will fill light scratches ?

    BobbyG, Mike, As per your advice, I ordered Poorboys Black Hole Glaze. Washed the car (black 2001 CL with light key scratches next to the door handles). Used GG Paint Prep to remove wax (Megs 205 would work as well but I did not want to remove any more clear coat) , washed the panels again...

    Washing microfiber towels

    I experimented with Tide Free and Clear HF, Groits and Blackfire MF and pad cleaner. I felt that Tide worked just as well as the others on MF and pads. However, yesterday I used Poor Boys Black Hole Glaze on a GG orange pad, water would not clean it, Tide Free and Clear did not clean it, Dawn...

    Chemical Guys "New Car Smell" Air Freshner

    I have a new Accord so I know what a new car smells like. I ordered and received CG New Car Scent for my older CL. It did not smell like a new car scent at all. I ended up ordering Wonder Wafers New Car Scent and am very happy with that product. I wish AG carried Wonder Wafers. When I...

    Clearcoat Fracturing versus Clearcoat Failure

    I have the crows feet on the hood of my 2001 black Acura CL. The roof, trunk, side panels have no crows feet. I attribute it to heat from the engine or I have been told Acura used fiber glass for the hoods so that may be the diference. Detailers and painters have told me that it is the paint...

    Dilute CGs Pad Cleaner?

    Since this stuff is fairly expensive especially when you take in the cost of shipping. I soak the pads in 1" of water face down for 20 minutes with no pad cleaner. The 1" is to keep the pads Velcro from soaking and separating. I have read that a lot of these polishes are water soluble, so I...

    Is there a clear wax, sealant, glaze, ?? that will fill light scratches that your fingernail can not feel and are not deeper than the clear coat. I have a black Acura CL with light scratches that my fingernail can not feel. Especially around the door key. I have tried polishing them out by...
