    Invaluable Tools For Interiors

    I use a small 2" wax brush from Michaels that's natural hair (like the ammo ones). It's sticky, lathers great and is gentle on surfaces that need agitation

    What can I discount for you this weekend?

    Always great deals, but I missed the Easter Sale. Hopefully the May weekend or July 1 will see the 20% off & free shipping again.

    Review: Griot's Garage Fast Surface Prep Mitt

    Any indication the mitt is better at reduced marring vs. the nanoskin mitts/towels when they first came out Mike?

    Menzerna SF3500 vs. SF4000 - what is right?

    I haven't noticed a difference between the two (bought 3500 in February) after applying with my DA on a new vehicle earlier this month. This vehicle was black. Hard to say whether there was less dust as I use a distilled spritz right at the end of each pass

    Which CG soap?

    I use CG Honeydew, Mr. Pink and Meguiar's Hyperwash. Between those three I prefer the hyperwash for a two bucket, but add all three to the foam gun

    Looking to switch from CG to a new brand for all steps.

    I'll add Colorlock or P21s at the end of it. Colorlock with PL is sick on black

    Menzerna Powerlock as final step

    2 applications of Powerlock followed by a layer (or 2) of Colorlock brings out a lot of depth and shine on my black metallic. The protection of PL is very impressive. I can hold a bath tub of beaded water on the hood and once I take off it just wicks right off the vehicle.

    Hello from Canada, Ontario !

    Hey LOL (London here) I just picked up a GG6 for $150 cash off kijiji (used once) and "the largest river" has sold them as low as $152 (+taxes) for the 25' corded which is what I picked up. I've done a couple big orders through AG and have always used SCC Parcel Pickup in Port Huron. Its...

    Griot Garage 6" polisher purchase, need insight

    My LC-43-125DA (5") for my GG6 has never let me down. That being said that ventilated backing plate looks sick! If I was doing a heavy 2-3 step process I would definitely have one of those. I use mine more for a yearly polish or whenever a buddy wants help taking out a few scratches

    maintenance wash combo - D114 + D156?

    Swiftone, I've used D114 & D156 weekly (when my '16 Pilot is not dirty enough to need a foam bath with 2 bucket) and have had no issues. I've put Menzerna Powerlock & Colorlock on and use the Meg's MF mitt (small 2 bucket method) or 600gsm towels (Gary Dean method) with D156 as my drying aid...

    Does anyone have a clue why I can't find a Wheel Woolie 3-Pack for sale here in Canada? Everyone is out of stock online except through Amazon, but I'm not paying $90+ for them from CG!

    What's the best rinse less wash on the market today?

    I've had no issues using Meguiar's D114. Whether for clay lube for RW/WW I've been happy with how it performs.

    Microfiber vs High End Wool Mitt which one?

    Agree with most replies; its your preference. That being said I prefer Meguiar's MF Wash Mitt. I have two of them that I use and wash them with my MF towels after each wash. So far they've held up very good and do a very good job of touching the paint only as much as needed. They are tough...

    How much Meguiars APC is safe for leather?

    Would most members use D180 alone vs. using a dedicated leather cleaner followed by a protectant such as Ultima Interior Guard? I'm just trying to decide whether I can use D180 alone vs D180 or CG Leather cleaner then UIGP. I already use VRP 1:1 with DH20 for a dressing on the dash and doors
