I am not a fan of Dawn…yes, I know you can use it safely if diluted properly…but just don’t. If it were me I would do the below: Decon Wash: -Shampoo: CarPro Reset - a ceramic ph neutral shampoo, but I have used it for decon washes plenty of times. -Iron spray: Gtechniq w6 -Clay: Nanoskin...

It depends on how far the rabbit hole you want to go really. There are different types or leather and different processes. To keep it high level my favorite 1 step product is Pinnacle Leather cleaner & conditioner. It gives very good results and doesn't take too much time by nature of a 1...

It provides enough of a glossy finish that you will be able to tell there is added gloss. No, you do not need to toss your microfiber towels after application.

Hi Everyone, Has anyone ever done maintenance, or taken the back panel off their Metro blower? I have their master blaster 8hp unit and I have been having some issues with it for a while now. After 10 min the same 4hp motor shuts down. I have done troubleshooting around this and after...

The best thing you can do is have the dealer do the bare minimum to your F250 upon delivery. Most imperfections and damage done to a new car is done by the dealer. Not saying this will be the case for your truck, but it is worth mentioning to exercise caution. I would not let them wash my...

I would check out Gtechniq. They have a good array of marine dedicated products in addition to their automotive car care line. In some cases they are very similar to one another. I would call and ask if their marine products are good for automotive paint, but my guess is that their regular...

Hello everyone, Recently one of my cars was missed handled and there is some correction needed. The parts I’m unsure of are the X-Pel ultimate ppf covered parts. There are hard watermarks that aren’t going away with spray on water spot removers so I figure buffer correction is needed. What...

Gtechniq Halo is not suitable for tire use. Halo was designed to be applied on vinyl or PPF surfaces. If you want to try out Gtechniq for tires I would recommend W5 for cleaning the tires and follow up with either T1 or T2.

OP- A power washer is a want and not a need. You do not need a power washer to have a safe/safer car wash experience. As others have stated, power washers do provide pro's to a car wash. They do a better job on initial removal for grime over a regular hose and I prefer use of pressure washer...

As others have stated, always start out with the least aggressive product and pad. The areas that aren't corrected will receive more aggressive product and pad. This rule of thumb is even more applicable on soft paints because they correct and can micro swirl so easily. If using what you...

A quality PPF coating is very robust. Every shampoo, rinseless and waterless wash out there on Autogeek will be safe on PPF. Now what can damage your ppf coating some is improper technique. Always make sure you use quality materials that touch your body work with the right methods. I don't...

Foam cannons can have good results with a quality Shampoo like Gtechniq G Wash or CarPro Reset. That being said, a dedicated prewash like Gtechniq W4 will provide better performance in a foam cannon. If you are using an electric pressure washer a 1.1mm orifice makes a difference as well for...

Can't say there is anything new out there that is next level and game changing. Tuff Shine tire cleaner is what I use.

I will second the above. I did my Mustang with Gtechniq Halo almost a year ago. Very easy to apply and good results.

As long as the 22ple hasn't gone bad you should be fine to do your wheels in it. As Rsurfer stated, it may not be as durable but it will work fine.

"Yes, master." -Anakin Skywalker Thank you though lol.

I agree with Guz, this is a rather subjective matter as what looks best really depends on the individuals preferences. Part of your decision should also depend on how much work you are willing to put into your car. While it is good that your car was repainted last year that does mean you are...

It says "but if applied incorrectly can be machine polished from your vehicles paintwork." If applied correctly a light polish will not remove a freshly applied CSL. You would need something more aggressive. Now if we are in the 3-5 year mark, pending how regularly the car is driven and its...

My post edited a little too late lol. CSL will not be removed by a light polish, you will need a compound to do that. I am aware Gtechniq doesn't state that, I pulled a very late night on my buddies challenger with EXO because of this lol. I certainly don't blame you for not wanting to...

Gtechniq states 12 hours before you drive the car, I generally like to wait 24 hours before driving the car and 2 weeks before cleaning it, unless I have a reason to clean it prior (something on my car I don't want). That is a tough one regarding EXO. Gtechniq gives you 24 hours to apply EXO...
