    what to use after polish and before wax?

    Using the Griot's for some time now, and if you have any difficulty in getting the sealant or the waxes off, you simply have used too much. Spritz the surface with a good detailer, or in G's world, the Speed Shine, which really IS marvelous for this sort of thing. I personally have not mixed...

    Wheel Well Materials & Advice??

    Thanks everyone..I washed as normal. Sprayed it with the RaggTopp conditioner, as it works wonders on the Z4 rag top we have...beads water and lasts. After letting it dry, I hit with the Scotchguard [hey a little overkill doesn't hurt under there I thot] and I will see how it does on water and...

    Most missed spots?

    One other area that is like the bottoms of the door jams, [underneath side facing ground] is the area above the headlights and center stage with hood open...even if the engine bay is not included, the area immediately underneath the lip is needed for detailing and product. Second area is...

    Wheel Well Materials & Advice??

    Back from China, after extended trip and finally getting to winterizing the new BMW 128...I know, I know it's January, but I have a heated garage now. As I got pulling wheels to paint calipers, I wanted to clean/protect wheel arches. Front?? no problem--it's plastic ABS material. The REAR? It's...

    Aquapel vs. RainX

    Having noted the recent posts on sealing/polishing glass, I need counsel re: the above two products. Accepting fully a completely clean window to start with, I have quit using RainX due to a "smearyfilmness [zkeeper's dictionary] on windshields, even with clean glass and vigorous buffing. I...

    I Broke down - Kerosene Heater

    Good for you. I have used a Kerosun...but a pain to fill, and along with electic heaters took quite a while to get temperate out there. This is St.Louis area so its not brutal here. Used a torpedo or construction type but fumes DID get rough and finally just sold it. On the 4th of Jan, [cannot...

    Maintaining Wax/Sealant Coating on Vehicle

    Good advice all round -- your wax/sealant is not going to go away with a light wash or using a spray on wash type product. One of my cars is same situ--24/7 outside, and it is sealed, waxed and well taken care of even in winter. If it gets really grimy, and there is no way to prevent that on...

    303 and convertible top

    And here's another perspective. I prefer the RaggTop for a major reason. Used RagT for several years and love it. Ran out recently, and my local supplier said, "well I can get it next week" which was not helping my situ at the time. He said, "hey try the 303, you'll like it." I did and while a...

    The New Waterless Washes

    Good quick review...I have been using the GG SprayonWash, and am liking it more and more. No mixing of course, but it lifts the dirt and while not waxing solution, it sure does not harm the shine I already have on the cars. Am stocking up a bit for winter use, and am not minding the winter dirt...

    Glass polish mishap..

    I concur with others on the reasons for the pigtails...use GG glass polish a lot, on several items and never had this once. Even used it on a VERY badly smoked [read etched by heat] glass gas fireplace screen. They wished to replace it at the tune of 125$...and while he cleaned the fireplace, I...

    Best Wheel well/undercarriage topical

    Hi Mike, my first post...but been reading for a loooong time. Question: I am interested in what would be best product [if any] one can use on wheel-wells, under carriage that would dry CLEAR and hard. Like a sealant, or Rejex, that lets dirt sheer off quickly with water and little surfactant...

    What do you think of this Griot's polishing kit?

    I have used the entire line now of GG polishes, and found them more than adequate when used progrssively as to need and aggresiveness. Re: the pads--the orange polish pad has been fine, tho also have augmented with CCS Cobra cross cut and those have been excellent. Sometimes one needs a more...
