    Any decent ceramic/graphene AIO?

    One of my daily drivers is the kid duty car. While a coating is nice, it needs a light polish twice a year and sometimes my wife takes it through the tunnel wash. Being super busy with work and life, I’ve looked at some of the ceramic and graphene aio products from mckees and griots. Each one...

    Sealant suggestions?

    Currently using meguiars hybrid coating. It’s been very good and I have a decent stock of it, but might get used on my wife and dad’s cars. My daily is far from a daily. I work from home and it gets maybe 7.5-8k miles a year. It sits in the garage a ton. So, thinking of possibly going back...

    Fairly glossy water based tire dressing?

    Been using dg 253. It’s really nice but the tires on my new vehicle need something else to amp up the gloss. I like tires on the glossier side but really want to stay water based. What are your favorites/suggestions? Thanks!

    Pad suggestions for GM Paint

    Recently purchased a 2023 GMC Acadia in ultra metallic blue. Off the dealer lot so they threw in some swirls and rods at no extra charge! I did a quick polish and lsp to keep it protected until spring. The paint, to me, seems hard. I’ve got some flat green pads and hydro tech orange, but I am...

    Thinking of trying Wolfgang si02 sealant. Questions

    I am thinking of trying this. Durability seems decent and from the reviews, it looks very nice. My car only gets about 8-10k miles a year, so I think this will be a once to twice a year application. I have the WG si02 rinseless diluted to drying aid and use it over my 303 graphene now. Great...

    I’m starting to see this pop up locally and I am interested. I’m thinking it will be great for my wife’s daily driver when paired with their ceramic 3 in 1. Anyone have an idea of how long the aio would need to cure before applying 3 in 1? Guessing 12-24 hours but looking for insight. Thanks!

    I just got a new dd, a 2021 gli in pure gray. Which is a non metallic gray. while the car is technically my daily driver, it will see more limited use, as I work at home about 80-90 percent of the time. I polished it and applied 303 graphene when I got it a few weeks ago. I topped that with...
