I really like the Griots bug remover. I spray it on and then soap over it with my mitt. Per instructions, I give it about a minute and then I start washing the car. It's super thick and suds up with the soap and always dissolves bug guts if you give it enough time to soak in. It's a little...

LOL Sounds good! It's too damn hot here in Northern Virginia to do that for sure (97 degrees outside right now!).

That's impressive! Stupid easy sounds like my type of way! :) Nice! Hows the application of said product? Is it user friendly/dumb proof for dummies like me? LOL

The wife and I bought a 2019 blue BMW X3 M40i. I polished the paint beautifully 2 months ago and applied a go to sealant. This cars paint EASILY etches from bird poop or bug guts. It drives me insane!! I think I’m finally ready to make the jump to a ceramic coating I think lol. What’s the...

Typically it's acid that can take out water spots. Check out Car Pro's Descale. It's a soap that's very acidic used to refresh ceramic coatings but also can be used for cars to take out water spots. If this spots are fresh, I would think this would work pretty well. Hopefully the sun didn't...

So I am looking at detailing the wife's new to us BMW 2019 X3 M40i today. Was going to use ONR solution to wipe down the interior screens on the dash. Did some googling, but what's the right dilution ratio for a screen wipe down? Is that their 16:1 "interior cleaner" dilution ratio? I just...

That paint is beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Good to hear. We may end up getting this Kia afterall... :)

Hi Guys, In the process of likely buying a Kia Sorento (new one) for the wife. I've never owned a Korean Car or worked on one. With all of you pro detailers out there and your vast experience, I was curious on your thoughts around working on their paint. We're thinking of buying a Sorento...

Weird! I searched for PERL, couldn't find it for some reason.

Good idea!!! Thanks, Bill. That's not a bad idea either!! :) Thanks, Gang!

Looking to do some shopping this labor day weekend. Have been using the Adams Tire shine in the white bottle, it's nice and Matte, but doesn't last long at all. I was going to try Car Pro PERL, but don't see it on AG's store. :( Anything else people can recommend that has a nice, matte finish...

Figured this was the best place to ask (this thread), but does anyone remember the 'fix' someone had for their speedmaster wheel brush rubber tip ripping off? Someone had some 'fix' where it was replaced with another rubber tip that worked perfectly. I love this brush and works amazing...but...

I would suggest trying Koch Chemie Eulex. That stuff was a god send for my wife's car who had a ton of tar from a recent road being paved. Took it off on a rag like nothing. If this came off with compound, I am sure this stuff would take it off like nothing. Just need to buy some cheap MF...

2010 S4. No mods outside of slightly lowered on coilovers and newer Audi S5 20inch rims. Love her to death. Washed with Hyperwash and dried with Griots PFM. She's a garage queen, but received some type of 'rub' on the back drivers side panel I need to polish out as it isn't that bad. Love...

Bubbles and foam is what helps in cleaning. I agree about the higher PH stuff breaking it down on it's own, but it's bubbles that make a car cleaner when you match that with a good mitt. The bubbles is what encapsulates dirt and helps you lift it off the surface. Think of washing dishes. More...

Griots Customers service is amazing.

For me, the beneift of staying non polished is the SHINE you'll get from them when polished. BUUUT because tehy're non polished, the draw back then is maintenance, pittting, etc.

Unforutantely I think I had the magnifying piece fall off some part inside, that can't be threaded back on for some reason..... Oh well lol. Yeaa.a........I may have messed this one up for good lol. LOL LOL

I was fidgeting with it too much over the weekend, and I think I screwed off the head from the 'pull' base? So now, the head just spins and spins but doesn't 'rethread' back on the way it was before. :( Anyone know how to take this apart?

Thanks for that! That's what I was assuming. Now I know!
