Griots paint prep is one of the easiest and most convenient in your situation. It works.!! A little tip: with car clean, apply a liberal covering spray over a panel, and use your hand, [with no rings of course] to spread it around, rub it in and give it time to work. That spreads it evenly, and...

A good glaze can do a nice fill job for you, and with some decent patient pad work, you will see even more fine scratches remain hidden. Of course then wax. Put some sacrifice barriers of wax layered, or good spray on waxes [Griots makes a great one for this barrier] and all this will help keep...

Love it...works great and goes a long way. Maybe for a full commercial shop, then 55 gallon drums of something might be better--but for us, it works. :xyxthumbs:

Mike is spot on. You can find more opinions than people on here, LOL..but that good. It allows you to do your due diligence on many things. Personally, I do not wash much unless the cars have acquired "roadyfilm"--otherwise its waterless wash, and the superfluffy green MF's from Griots. Clay...

It does a nice job of waxing your driveway also. :doh: I had a rather intense, all wheels off our spotless, meticulous BMW Z --- which had been driven on a Missouri road-- where it picked up a LOT of oil spots inside the wheel barrels. So off with all four wheels, and a 5 hour project. After...

Had to add something here: we are totally spoiled--including me. Our "washaterias" are nothing, if not spectatular compared to overseas. Indulge a short story. For the last 12 years have spent most of my time in China, living in Bejing but am all over the place - in more cities than I care to...

GG as well...had the early one, no problems. Moved to their new one, gave the other one to a deserving friend, and after 2.5 yrs. & more use than I care to think about, it works great. :props: Like the speed. The Flex sure is a siren to a sailor strapped to the masts, and may pop for it--but no...

Switched over to the Griots...softer nap, less sizing from dyes. The green SprayonWash fluffies and the blue ones for QD's are great. My Cobras are there, but now reach for the GGs.:buffing:

Guys I married up! This is after 46 years of marriage and the following is totally true. We both have been car people, but only since retirement have we had the total time to devote to keeping the cars in pristine shape. She [and my sister in her 70's] do their own detailing, claying and...

Personally have not used OCW, but many like it I know. I suspect it will be user opinion and there are lots of those around. I had used Megs QWax and found the GG lasted longer and was better priced. Have read lots of comments on OCW, and like anything they vary. Best to choose something you...

With Gary on that! Here in St.Louis heat, the GG Speed Shine works...no streak and shines like crazy. Also been lately using the GG Spray on Wax as an extra sacrifice barrier in this heat--garage is sitting at 95 at night, it goes on, and wipes off easy. I like its staying power--keeps the base...

:iagree:Same situation. Love the spanking anology...never thot of it quite like that, but he's right. The Griots HD works great with really soiled wheels, regular WCleaner for maintained wheels and barrels. :props:

Great..now put some regular spray on wax or detailers to add a sacrifice barrier on top. My guess is with the heat we are having in much of the nation, that your wax is going to soften during the day, and then trap the "dusty bits" when cooling off at night. The surface may not be as smooth in a...

I only clay after wash and dry because I WASH outside, and hate bringing a wet car INSIDE my garage/shop--boy, I wish I could say spa. So it gets dried then clayed. Also prefer no soap mixed in with lube and clay--buts that me, and me's not being paid to do all this, so time is not an issue. I...

As mentioned, your clay should have removed all the previous wax. But if you have SINCE claying then yes, that will be a barrier against the sealant bonding up nice. I think the jury is out on Dawn, but yes it should remove the QD you have been using...but the Griots Paint cleaner, and Paint...

Something else besides product. With it this bad, my counsel, whatever good carpet product you use, or diluted cleaner, [and I have used some prods diluted verrry little to get some results] make sure you go slowly and with patience. You probably will have several applications to get things...

Have to add for the last 5 years have had same great service, tho I have had no breaks or breakdowns on anything purchased. There are lots of great prods out there, and a lot guys mix and match, using one manufacture for this, another for that. I have done same over the years. Went to the GG...

Just need to know if Collinite 845 has any silicone in it? Love this prod, but am in situation where I cannot risk silicones..thanks for any intel on this one...:buffing:

Welcome from Belleville, Ill. And there are lots of dirty cars in this state. BUT, note this well, its one of our best brag points---- we are one of the few states in the nation where our governors make our liscence plates personally. They really get involved down to this level here--you gotta...

You got it...just don't spray so much, or so heavy..just a light spritz and work it in and all over tire. You won't have a lot of overspray, and will save on product. The applicator you asked about it great. I have two..one for tires and one for interior; use, put on cover and toss into the...
