    Who's using apc as wheel cleaners?

    I guess I'm the exception. I love CG Grime Reaper. I use it full strength on my wheels and tires. I typically give them a quick soak with CG GR, hit them with a brush, and rinse. But I don't let it dwell for very long at all. I've had great results with it. Keep in mind that I have a...

    megs hot shine tire coating

    Keep in mind there are three aerosol Meguiar's tire dressings that I've seen OTC. There's...hot shire tire coating, hot shine foam, and endurance spray. Per the OP, I've been using the hot shine tire coating with great results. When first sprayed, the tires are extremely glossy. Wipe off...

    Extreme makeover KIA Interior

    Wow, that's nasty, good job. I don't know how people can treat their property like that. Money is so hard to come by these days, it amazes me that people don't even remotely take care of their things. I didn't see a car seat. Messes like this are more understandable when kids ride in the car...

    Volkswagen Fake Leather

    My wife has a 2012 Jetta Sportwagen with the black fake leather seats. I've been using Chemical Guys leather cleaner and conditioner, but after a day or two, the seats start looking dry and faded, almost grey. It's not bad, but she likes the deep black look after using the leather conditioner...

    Claybarring tommorow, need a quick OTC wax??

    I've had great results with Meguiar's Gold Class. I believe they sell it in a paste, but almost anywhere carries the liquid version, which is what I've used. We bought a new Maytag washer/dryer, and I put a quick coat of Gold Class on them (they are a silver metallic color, so I thought what...

    Unholy Trinity round 2 on my 2007 Dodge Ram Quadcab

    What pads and speeds did you use? I'm getting ready to purchase the Porter Cable 7424XP, and would like to use the exact same products you did. I've had great results applying BL by hand on my black tacoma, but am looking to take mine to the next level.

    CG Blacklight being topped with...

    I've topped CG Blacklight with V&, then with Dodo Juice Purple Haze, CG Pete's 53, and Zymol Carbon. All three provided excellent results, but I do believe the Carbon looked best. This was on a black Tacoma and Platinum Metallic VW Jetta Sportwagen.

    Quick tip about Chemical Guys Inner Clean...

    I haven't used I.C., but I have been using CG Satin Shine. It's got just a little bit of shine to it, but after buffing, it just looks clean. I've been super pleased with it and it has a nice clean smell.

    Chemical Guys "Unholy Trinity" on a 2009 F150

    I'm confused. I thought Glossworkz was a wash solution. I've been using CG Citrus was and gloss, and it's really good. It's strong though. I could see using... Glossworkz wash Blacklight V7 Carnauba (dodo or pinnacle) In the past, I've used the following on a black Tacoma.. CG Citrus...

    Very Proud *single tear*

    I took my black Tacoma in the other day for my first 5k oil change and I had a cooler in the back of my truck. The service guy asked if it was ok to wash the truck with the cooler in the back. I told him DO NOT WASH, this truck only gets hand washed. I come out when it's done, and the a-hole...

    Chemical Guys Stripper Scent

    I love it. Personally, I think it's spot on. It smells really good. The first spray is kind of strong, but it dissipates pretty quickly to a lighter smell. I brought it into the office and all the men said "yep, smells like a stripper." Also, I have to admit that I admire a company that...

    Blacklight or Petes 53?

    I've used the Blacklight/V7/Pete's 53 combo on both my wife's VW Jetta (Metallic Gray) and my Toyota Tacoma (Jet Black). First, I've only used the products by hand, so I cannot comment on the DA application. The blacklight was a very smooth process by hand. It doesn't seem to fill in swirls as...

    Dodo Dressing

    Well, I guess if AG gets them, I'll give them a shot, but I doubt any vinyl dressing is magical enough to have it shipped from the uk.

    Dodo Dressing

    I'm finding that I really like Dodo Juice products. I've got Purple Haze Pro that should be arriving tomorrow that I'm excited about. I was looking at their product lineup, and it doesn't appear that they offer any type of interior/vinyl/trim dressings. Does anyone know if they do offer, or...

    Black Tacoma Advice

    Hey guys, I did some research tonight, and it looks like my truck is Toyota paint code 202. I found this on the world wide web, and when I looked at the door jamb sticker, I found the same number.

    Black Tacoma Advice

    Where do I find the paint code? Is it on the sticker inside the door jamb? Is there a certain letter or number that it starts with so I can identify it?

    Black Tacoma Advice

    I purchased a 2012 Tacoma Pre Runner about two months ago. It's black (pure black, not metallic or anything). So far, I've been using CG products (Citrus Wash and Gloss, Blacklight, V7 and Pete's 53). This regimen produces pretty good results, but I'm not particularly amazed with the...
