CG silk shine or PERL. Cut either one 1:1 with water for that satin black new tire, not wet oily tire sheen.

Yeah the grip tape would look terrible. Perhaps an upholstery shop could custom make a new steering wheel with leather or material that is less smooth.

You can use that grip wrapping for tennis rackets. If you wanted to go with a chemical some hairspray might add a tackiness to it.

That Del Sol is cool. The simplicity of the dash and center stack reminds me of high school. I can almost smell the Tommy Hilfiger cologne.

I've used both electric and gas for cars and the gas isa PiTA to pull start each time you want to spray. If you leave it running in between uses then you're just burning gas for nothing. Plus, you have to buy gas for it. My electric one only runs when I pull the trigger. Ended up giving the...

2 coats of Fusion. It checks both the Carnauba and synthetic sealant boxes. It's very easy to use and looks so nice after.

I'm a sealant guy. easy to use, nice durability, nice looks. Prefer sprays due to time and sizeof vehicles. Have recently gotten into spray SOWO ceramics as they have taken off with multiple brands. Also like that I can use sprays on windows and chrome too.

Most of my towels get washed together. The ones that do the nastier jobs may get more detergent but even the wax ones need to be washed well to get all the wax/sealant out.

How about changing your wash to Carpro Hydro foam which coats the car while you wash? Rinse off and the car will look decent and provide a decent protection too.

Sounds like you have some good stuff already. Maybe just play with the lighting that you're admiring your clean silver Runner in and it might be enough?

I have an '08 Silver 4runner sport. I understand what you mean. A couple products I have liked on mine were CG Blitz which is a spray that you treat like a liquid wax (spread out, let dry to haze then buff off). Works really well on windows/chrome too. Wolfgang Fusion and Deep gloss paint...

The other shop may be using: Cheaper products bought in bulk Cheaper labor Two or three people to clean the car, cuts down on time Spending only a fixed amount of time on each section no matter what VS doing it until perfect More than one revenue source? Higher volume of work at lower margins?

I used to have an '09 IS350 as a toy. Smoky granite exterior w Black interior. After a kid and new house I sold it in 2016 with 76k for $15,000. That car was awesome. Smooth handling and acceleration. Lexus service was very accommodating as well. I can't say anything bad about it. Pop for...

Regular or medium. Usually the cheapest i ca find which lately has been Chemical guys yellow bar

Wife's Pilot got a coat of HD Poxy. Gonna put on some WG Fusion when I take some vaca hours in a couple weeks. Refreshed w D156 or WGDG spray sealant. My 4runner got Carpro HydroFoam That will be refreshed monthly.

Pinnacle souveran waxes are awesome gloss products. Use the paste or liquid and refresh with Souveran spray and or crystal mist QD. Easy products to use and the results are beautiful.

PERL 1:1 has been the best for me. I also really like CG Silk shine but Perl seems to last longer even if I only strive for the satin look.

If you allow anything from Bouncers or Auto Finesse to dry it'll be a workout to get it off. Those are WOWO waxes.

This is exactly what I was going to say. After its all gone, clay to get any dust out then polish to repair the clear coat.

A lot of Carnauba products state in the description that they can be layered. Most sealant descriptions give a cure time.
