My buddy Mike leased a 2015 Honda Accord. It's been 3 years and I guess he opted to extend the lease 1 year. The vehicle has never been waxed. It sees automatic car washes. He asked me about possibly claying and waxing it so that it has some protection for this winter. I asked how good does...

The truck was coated with Wolfgang Uber Ceramic coating October of 2016. It held up well. I used Iron X once last year before I switched to CarPro Reset as my main car shampoo. I noticed the lower sections of the truck weren't as hydrophobic anymore ( spring time ). So roughly 18 months out of...

I have been using WG DGPS since 2004 or so. I love the slick feel and the gloss / reflections that it creates on dark colors. During the Xmas season in 2015, I decided to purchase the WG Uber ceramic coating for my Camaro. I wound up selling my Frontier privately and bought a new 2016 GMC...
