Xtreme Solutions Topper is one of my favorite Toppers/Drying Aids. I have read here on this forum that Adam's Slick N Slide is basically made by the same company and is the same product, so I ordered some. For those of you who have tried both, is the Adams product indeed just like Topper? Does...

I was excited to try TEC584 G-Max, after having used and loved TEC 582 Ceramic Detail Spray for many years. My thoughts are that TEC584 is a great detail spray, but I just didn't see that much of a difference compared to 582. I like the smell of 582 better - its pina colada scent is addictive...

After reading through this discussion, I just ordered some Griots Garage Ceramic Tire Dressing. I was considering DarkSide as well, but I prefer a water-based dressing over a solvent-based one.

Thanks for the great review and helpful info! One question for the forum. I was watching some tire dressing reviews on Youtube and one comment from a professional detailer caught my attention. He said that instead of using a dedicated tire dressing, he uses Technicians Choice Ceramic Detail...

If you buy the Nespresso capsules at Starbucks or Peet’s, they cost 70 to 80 cents per capsule. But I buy the large package of 80 Peet’s capsules at Costco and I think it costs about 40 to 45 cents per capsule. I usually use 2 capsules per cup of coffee.

Have you considered switching to a Nespresso machine? My wife and I stayed at a hotel a few years ago and tried the Nespresso machine in the room. It made a surprisingly good cup of coffee. One reason I like Nespresso better than Keurig is that the small cannisters of coffee are made out of...

I am actually a fan of GG 3-in-1 Ceramic Wax. I have it as my base protection for my wife's car and have been very happy with it. I use a ceramic topper (Xtreme Solutions Topper) after every wash, so it is possible that what I am happy with is actually the combination of 3-in-1 Wax and Topper...

+1 for the Gauntlet. I have used this towel for 1 1/2 years of weekly rinseless washes and it still feels as soft and still works as well as the day I bought it. I absolutely love it.

With all the recent rain we have had here in Socal, I have a question about the best spray product to keep my windshield clear in the rain. I understand that a dedicated glass coating such as Gyeon View would be best, but I would like to know if any of the spray products I already have on hand...

I've had Xpel PPF on my car for the past 4+ years and, even though I am parked outside 24/7, the PPF has held up very well. I know some people like to put a ceramic coating on top of their PPF. But like you, I just apply a ppf-safe ceramic spray sealant once every 3-4 months, as well as a...

I have Cancoat Evo on one of my cars and I was thinking of trying Gyeon Ceramic Detailer. The issue I have with it is the cost. Since I use a drying aid after every wash, I take cost and value into consideration. I like to buy and use in bulk. I think the Gyeon CD is available for $29.99 for a...

I use and like GG 3-in-1 Ceramic Wax as my base protection, but I would not use it as a drying aid for two reasons. I would be concerned about possible build up if you use it too frequently. And also it is pretty expensive at $85 a gallon. Since I use a drying aid after every wash, I want it to...

Topper by Xtreme Solutions. Topper offers great gloss, slickness, and a very pleasant scent. It is a pleasure to use and work with and it gives a boost of ceramic protection. I also think it is a good value. You can buy a gallon of the stuff for under $40.

I remember Mike G made a comment once about Sonax PF causing some marring and excessive dusting. Also, since you are preparing the car for PPF, I would avoid any polish that leaves behind a layer of SiO2. I think CarPro Essence leaves behind some SiO2, so I would go with Reflect over Essence...

Four years ago, I had PPF installed on my 2018 Tesla Model 3 a couple days after I took delivery. The installer told me that the adhesive and film would fill in and mask the minor swirls. It did improve the light swirls, but in bright sunlight I can still see them. So if I were you, I would...

I applied Cancoat Evo to my wife's 2014 Honda Accord about 8 weeks ago. While I got all the high spots on the paint, I missed a high spot on the front driver's window. I must have applied the Cancoat Evo to the window trim and accidentally got some Cancoat on the window itself. I did not notice...

It looks like Griot's Garage has come out with a new ceramic tire dressing. Has anyone tried it? I love their Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax and I am curious about this new addition to their ceramic line of products. Please share your opinions if you have tried it. Thanks, Joe

I am a huge rinseless fan. I haven't done a traditional wash in 4 years. I agree that ONR is still one of the best rinseless washes on the market. I recently tried P&S Absolute and I really loved it. I ended up ordering a gallon after trying the 32 ounce bottle. Cleans really well, nice...

My box of Cancoat Evo came with three spray nozzles. But I watched Brian with Apex Detail's video and he had a great suggestion that I tried and that works. Before I apply Cancoat, I put some water in a disposable glass. As soon as I am done using the Cancoat, I immediately remove the nozzle...

Thank you for the suggestion. Why do you like the Meguiars Hybrid Paint Coating over Cancoat Evo? And can the Meguiars be applied to a car parked outside? That is one reason I chose Cancoat Evo is that it is advertised as being "outside application friendly".
