Whoops, I made the 3:1 bottle (4oz solution, 12oz water) and they used 2oz of that diluted mix.

Hi, I have a Forester and had crystal serum ultra applied to the body and wheels by a detailer who is outstanding but a bit of a distance. Just recently I took the car to a local detailer and asked them to apply some diluted (3:1) C2v3 to the body after the wash. They don't apply ceramic...

I had Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra applied to the car around the 19th. The detailer did an incredible job.... the reflection of the bricks on the hood is pretty neat. The car has about 2450 miles on it, I think. I'd planned to get the coating right after purchase but the timing didn't work out...

So, I can't give a full review of it yet. I only used it for a few minutes and ran about 5 gallons of water through it. I was working quickly due to the sunlight and tried avoid water spots which I wound up having anyway but they're all gone now. It isn't "too noisy"... I used it behind my...

It was about $250 shipped. Definitely a luxury. I didn't have a chance to wash the car last week. It was cloudy and looked like it was going to rain... however, it was sunny later in the day. I'm going to wash the car this morning. Just went downstairs to my storage cage and pulled out my...

I just received the Sunjoe SPX6000c from Amazon this afternoon. I'm going to give it a go tomorrow morning. My plan is to pre-rinse with the Sunjoe and then do a two-bucket wash. I'm not a professional detailer. I just like to wash the car 2-3x a month. I plan to use this to get some of the...

Stopping by again. I haven't been able to drive for just about a year now. I underwent surgery on my pelvis for a malignant tumor. As a result I'll need hand controls for my car. I'm going in for my driving test this Wednesday. My instructor is really nice. She set up the driving program...

I purchased the Guzzler HD (not the towels featured in this thread) towels a while back and I use them to dry the car while doing a rinseless wash. Could I use them for this as well? Would the wax "clog" the drying towels in any way? Would I want to just dry the panel using the Guzzlers and...

I think I might have the first generation of DP interior cleaner. It does have a banana scent but the fumes are somewhat harsh. The scent seems to disappear rather quickly. I have CG watermelon and also the stripper scent. Both are fine but I don't think the watermelon is as strong as the...

Lot's of ska lately... I need some happy music these last few days :( [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA2ziMClB_0]The Bodysnatchers, Do the Rocksteady - YouTube[/video] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcEhAIx1OB4]Laurel Aitken - Skinhead - YouTube[/video]...

I picked this up in Alexandria, VA at either Advanced or Pep Boys...can't remember which one. I was impressed with how much dirt it lifted off the tires and wheels. I've only used it once though. After my ARO arrives I'll compare the two.

And I forgot to take before pictures. My Forester is in good shape with only 13k miles. I washed it, used the clay bar, polished it and then sealed it with Blackfire WD. I topped it off with some wax this morning. I had a lot of fun doing it. Here are two photos I took with my iPhone.

Bought the Blackfire product anyway. Washed Clay bar BF Gloss Enhancing Polish with PC. BF WD I'm reasonably pleased. This was my first time doing anything beyond washing. I just read the posts here and watched the videos. And read a bit in the the Art of Detailing book. I'll post more...

I'm headed down to Va Beach to visit my parents and hopefully "detail" my Forester for the first time. I ordered a lot of product during holiday sales. Although I wanted to use a sealant on the car I just can't justify spending any more on products until I use up most of what I have. Edit -...

I have a 2011 Forester (silver, ha ha!) that I've been washing weekly for a while now. The paint is soft... clear bra would have been a good idea. I've had it for a year and there are a lot of dings from rocks. I did install the Rally Armor flaps though so at least I have some protection for...

The Equals - Baby Come Back

Thanks, I'll give Optimum a try. I already use the ONR and I like it a lot.

Let's say my paint is in good condition and I give it a thorough wash. Afterwards, I still feel some bits of grit when I do the plastic bag test. That's what I'm experiencing now. And when I say "some bits of grit" that means I could probably count them up if I wanted to. Is it ok to just...
