    Ultimate winter protection?

    They are matching body color. :-) the car is either all black or all salt gray. I probably worry too much. I drive an econo box in the dark to work and then home from work also in the dark.

    Ultimate winter protection?

    I saw them mostly in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I am not saying it's right but it is what it is.

    Ultimate winter protection?

    Eh, it is kind of traditional to run black steelies in the winter and I couldn't find any that fit so I went with a faux steelie being a split five spoke low pressure cast aluminium wheel. I am very interested in the new coating.

    Ultimate winter protection?

    I have a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. It is black. I drive it 50 miles a day through some dirty environments. I live in Michigan. Several months ago I put Wolfgang Paint Sealant on my car after doing a pretty good paint detail. It looked positively stunning. I two bucket washed the car once a week...

    New guy. New truck. Tinted clear. Lots of reading.

    Oh man. That was my fail - it popped up at the top of my new threads. Halloween is tomorrow, undead threads are rising. pleasedontbanme

    New guy. New truck. Tinted clear. Lots of reading.

    Welcome and be careful, this place is a slippery slope. I stumbled in just trying to figure out what kind of wax would last on my car and now I clean something on my car or my wife's car every day and can't stop buying stuff. I've had a lot of success thus far with the Wolfgang Paint Sealant...

    Touring Ireland's most visited natural attraction: Cliffs of Moher

    Beautiful shots. My wife was born here to an Irish mother and took a year to go there and get her dual citizenship. She has an absurd number of cousins there that we visit every other year. I've been to a number of countries in Europe but Ireland has it's own pace and a kindness and beauty...

    Silly to detail a leased car?

    I work for General Motors and we have this neat privilege where we can borrow retail cars for a week (that is to say cars in regular production). I got lucky and scored a Black 2015 CTS-V. I only had the car Wednesday to Tuesday but I brought it home, two bucketed it, hit it with Meg's 205 and...

    Preservation of WGPS over Winter

    Hi Guys, I hope this question isn't horribly redundant but winter is approaching here in lovely Michigan and the salt will be a'flying well before the snow. I have a near month old coat of WGPS3 on my black Chevy Cruze daily driver and it is performing well beyond expectations. I habitually...

    Question on wdgps 3.0

    This is a repost from somewhere else on the forum but the beading shot is after 250 filthy miles and the reflection shot is the next morning with just a bucket wash. This stuff is amazing. I put it on with a Griot's DA, Lake country white pad and took it off with a microfiber bonnet on a...

    First real try

    Thanks so much. I used to just use tire black on all the trim on my old cars but my real goal now is to preserve the clean look of my car for as long as possible hence my bias towards sealants.

    First real try

    Another funny thing to note about the pictures, I got a little splattering on the wiper arms so I rubbed it in and buffed it off so they beaded too. Haha.

    First real try

    Thanks! The beading was awesome and it was the best I could do with my phone camera. I was like screaming excited and my wife was wholly unimpressed. A guy I work with that is into detailing complimented my work and said "You definitely have the nicest looking Cruze here, maybe anywhere." We...

    First real try

    Hi All, The forum encouraged me to post. I wasn't sure where to put this so here it is. First off, thank you to everyone. I have always enjoyed washing my car and with your help I feel like I have moved up to a new level. I am by no means a pro but I have gotten unsolicited compliments on my...

    Drank the Koolaid

    Better than doing drugs and at least you get a clean car out of the deal.

    Drank the Koolaid

    EEEEK The body shop said do not polish, wax or anything other than wash for 60 days. Sixty. So I guess I will seal the rest of the car and then, in 2 months, polish the whole thing. Any other ideas are welcome of course.

    Drank the Koolaid

    Fixed, thanks! What I really want to do is get really good at this so I can have a clean car most of the winter and not have ot go to an automated wash to do so.

    Drank the Koolaid

    So, I came here after googling something about detailing. I read and read and read. I bought Mike's book and read and read. I watched the DVD. I searched and searched this forum. Finally I returned the stuff I bought off of amazon and ordered a DA from here. I have a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze...
