    Is anyone's car in pristine condition?

    Agree entirely. As mentioned, I have PPF put on my cars and I just may buy that rear hitch for added protection. That's about all you can do (beside the obvious detailing which most of us readily enjoy. But living and driving in the NE/NJ/NYC area, when I buy (not lease) a new car, it simply...

    Is anyone's car in pristine condition?

    A few years ago, when shopping at a nearby Whole Foods, the cashier had to ask each customer, "Did you find everything you were looking for?" expecting the usual "yes I did, thanks." So, that day I was a bit twisted and replied "Well, since you are asking, no, I did not find everything I was...

    Is anyone's car in pristine condition?

    I hear you on all that and I am in agreement. If you drive your car, you should expect it. But I wanna be the one doing the "damage" as I did a few years back on my new 2017 Allroad when I dragged my plastic garbage can a little too closely and put a noticeable scratch on the door. It the...

    Is anyone's car in pristine condition?

    Bob, I wasn't referring to pristine in the true, literal meaning of the word, but the term was used to denote that the paint was free of scratches not easily removed and pings and dings. It is simply an inevitable fact of owning a car that these will appear in time. I guess I was a might...

    Is anyone's car in pristine condition?

    Ouch, sorry to hear; that really stinks. I guess that's too deep for one of those "Dent Doctors." But this brings up another pet peeve I have and that is that most people are too damn lazy, oblivious and inconsiderate to bring the shopping carts back to where they belong, leaving them strewn...

    Is anyone's car in pristine condition?

    Yes and no on the daily driver. I usually take mass transit to work, so it really isn't a daily driver. But it sure isn't a garage queen either. I would almost consider one of the rear bumper protectors like this one: Parking Armor - Rear Bumper Guards, Car Bumper Guards but it's probably...

    Is anyone's car in pristine condition?

    Like most here, I'm a hobbyist detailer. I keep my car as clean as reasonably possible and even carrY a portable car vac in my trunk when I go away on trips with friends. Coatings done for paint protection. PPF on entire front on vehicle. When I take my car to work in NYC, I almost never park...

    Post Your Unpacking Pictures

    I also have the "older" style GG Glass Towels and thought they were the best I ever used for cleaning glass - though I do wish they were a little larger. I used the new "Crinkle" Glass towels yesterday. Sprayed some Sonax Glass Cleaner (which happens to be excellent, btw) and these seem to more...

    Hey Bill, I have the older GG Glass Towels and they were excellent for the job. These are different. Soooo, I had some free time and used Sonax Glass Cleaner with those new GG Glass Towels. Yes, those "crinkles" seem to add more texture/scrubbing - if that's the right word, to get the...

    Window tinting question

    Thanks! I already have an antireflective coating on my glasses, but it doesn't seem to help - or certainly not help enough. I am scheduled for cataract surgery in June.

    Bill, I think they do better than a decent job, but I just got these in other day and will see how they do. PFM(R) Crinkle Glass Towels, Set of 3 - Griot's Garage

    I like Sprayway also, but I also like Sonax - seems to do a very good job - deep cleans, yet can be grabby. I just bought the Gtechniq G1/G2 Coating and Cleaner along with GG's new glass cleaning towels. so maybe I'll give this a try also.

    Vandalized Porsche 991 4S

    To the owner of that Porsche - that's quite a ride. To the OP, fantastic work - really. To the vandalizer - I'd like to "meet" you and have a "discussion".

    2021 Audi Allroad Love inside and out

    Nice job on a great car. I had a 2017 Allroad and traded it in a few months ago for a 2021 CX-5. I do like the CX-5 but I shoulda kept that Allroad - best car I ever owned. Anyhow, those swirl marks are dealer induced? Wow, doesn't say much for the dealership. Agree with above post - you...

    Pothole Hell

    Agree on that, Paul. Not to mention the traffic density. The FDR/Harlem River Drive is especially atrocious: narrow, windy, pothole ridden and plagued with the guys in their ricer boy cars who think they are on their own race track and add to that the distracted drivers and accidents are all too...

    Best Rinseless Wash Towels?

    Yep, those towels are very nice. I also use them on the interior areas that are piano black which tend to get swirls if you look at them the wrong way. I put in an order last week and wanted to order these, but they seem not to be pre-orderable, which is kind of a shame, because with GG there...

    Best Rinseless Wash Towels?

    Unless I'm wrong, these are meant more for wax/compound removal, not as a RW towel. Quoting Mike - "All I know is - I like them. For removing compounds, polishes, AIOs and basically anything "paint" related."
