    Looking to keep these my newly painted/polished AMG wheels tip top. Opinions needed

    Dang. What polish do you recommend? I actually think I have it figured out how to get the gunk off. I used a scrub pad that worked wonders. I just used it with water today because of friends suggestion. I don't care about the possible damage it may cause back there cause it's already worn and...

    Looking to keep these my newly painted/polished AMG wheels tip top. Opinions needed

    Thanks. :( bummed. I was hoping on getting these amazingly clean and applying the PBL wheel coating to both barrel and face/lip. I guess that's not the case anymore then. :( May just have to do only the face of of the wheel and lip. I also noticed the lip is starting to oxidize. Anyone have...

    Looking to keep these my newly painted/polished AMG wheels tip top. Opinions needed

    The Original SE-R

    That thing is in amazing condition! It has a LSD, right? I've heard those things are amazing in the snow with just some snow tires, are killer!

    What is the most cost effective wheel cleaner

    When is it safe to use a 'acid based' cleaner on wheels? I always worry about doing damage and don't know the 'rules' to using it. I know how effective they can be...but I am scared to use it because well...it's acid lol.

    Looking to keep these my newly painted/polished AMG wheels tip top. Opinions needed

    Hi Guys, So I've had these wheels lip repolished because when I had originally brought it to the painter, he had the lip machined and the faces painted to stock color, and cleared it all. The clear started to peel....so I got pretty pissed as this cost me a pretty penny. He was an acquaintance...

    How does the AG wash mitt compare to the Meg's one?? Curious to see if anyone owns both.

    Costco MF question

    Interesting.... I would think he uses his own brand towels....didn't know that. Thanks ofr the info though. They feel 'plush' and soft, I actually perferred them to some other softer higher GSM towels when it comes to taking polish off too. I just was unsure how to feel after reading mix...

    Griot's Garage DA vibration too much, now what?

    It's funny, well not funny--but I felt similar pain to the OP last year when I got the bug again to start detailing with my GG6. I bought it in 2012 I think ? I corrected a friend's ride and remember being so fatigued and arms hurting from all the vibration. I used it at 4.5 MAX, and I had...

    Costco MF question

    Bumping this thread back up! Soo....I have a ton of these towels and feel they are super soft and would be safe for drying. I've used these for last couple of months for drying (being very anal about them being clean, the ones I use for drying). I read I think in this thread or another that...

    Who washed this truck!?

    Woo hooo!!!! Looking forward to it. I want to see how well Menz' performs because I have a feeling people didn't give it the right chance.

    Opinions On Chemical Guys?

    Put me down as 'unsure'. I like their soaps, but stay away from their polishing material and pads/polishers. I stick to what I read here, but their MF wash is pretty good, as is their soaps (like I said above). I've used their metal polish too, which ain't bad. I like their leather...

    Who washed this truck!?

    Use Menzerna's AIO! Everyone dogs it compared to HD speed...but I'm a nut for Menz' products...as I think you are too. :p

    3D HD Touch as RINSELESS wash?

    I just wanted to update this thread. I called the company directly, and the confirmed that the product is to be used at the least 1:1 with distilled water if you wanted to extend it out some, but it's essentially just a quick detailer. I am thinking of using it like an Ammo Hydrate--while I am...

    3D HD Touch as RINSELESS wash?

    Any confirmation on this? I received a free bottle of this stuff and I am curious to try it out as a rinseless wash! So 1oz to 1 gallon?

    Which rinseless do YOU prefer? Optimum or BLACKFire ?

    Interesting. I've had (only time I've needed something) good experienced with Meguiars. One of their MF pads 'failed' on me, but I think that was me being a newb and using it too long which caused the hook and loop too wear down too soon. Either way, the guy sent me a new pair and to top it...

    Which rinseless do YOU prefer? Optimum or BLACKFire ?

    You are right! They are made in China. Yellow too. :( Sorry for the misinformation. I guess one of the 'wholesalers' is in Korea which made me think that it was made there too when I gave it a quick glance one time. I wonder what GSM they are? It doesn't say on the bag, tehy're 80/20.
