I read the comments and it seems like and 303 protectant and Meguiars quick interior detailer are popular here for cleaning and protecting interiors. I bought 16 oz. bottles of each to try them out and I agree. These arrived today courtesy of the recent 25% flash sale. Thanks, all.

I just bought a Prius Prime (plug-in hybrid) and I want to add some paint protection to the charging door. It is similar to the fuel door on the other side of the car except it is push-to-open and secured requiring key fob present to open. The door requires a push to open and a push to close and...

I've been reading all the forum articles and watching Youtube videos regarding interior protectant products (not cleaners or AIO). I think I've settled in on 303 but there is an Aerospace Protectant and an Automotive Protectant. The Aerospace is more expensive than the Automotive. Is this...

I'm getting rid of my daily driver Prius for a daily driver Prius Prime (both blizzard pearl white). I'll be using spray wax on it every 1-2 weeks so it will be well-protected for the long run. I'm going to tell the dealer not to detail it and deliver it to me as-is. I've done this before and...

I have an old gift certificate which I partially used. Is there a way to find out how much is left?

I have my own home-made DI (de-ionized water) system but this is relevant to CR Spotless, Simple Chucks or any other DI system. My objective in this post is to suggest how to save a lot of money on mixed bed resin. My water is very hard well water (450-500 TDS total dissolved solids) so the...

It's been raining here in NorCal and I came out yesterday to see a huge splat of bird poop on the roof, otherwise spoiling the nice beading. The rain was dispersing the bird poop in a serious way and then I remembered that I had a small spray bottle (recycled from the AutoGeek samples) of QD...

I just bought a $300 gift certificate for myself. I don't need anything now but I figured I couldn't pass on this deal because they don't happen that often. I have some newbie questions. Can I apply partial credit to purchases if I buy less than $300? Do they expire? Are they fully...

I have long touted the book, "Customers for Life: How to Turn That One-Time Buyer Into a Lifetime Customer By Carl Sewell, Paul B. Brown" It is very nice to see that Griots Garage is touting it as a core value. So, those who say they hope that the lifetime warranty on polishers never changes...

Feral Cat Project We recently and successfully relocated a 3-year-old feral cat to our backyard. We did not do this on a whim, either. She spent 3 months in confinement in two 4x8 kennel cages lashed together via tunnel in our backyard. We had her TNR'ed (trapped, fixed, checked out, etc.)...

It is warm now, the front door, windows and trim around the house needed cleaning. The front door of the house is dark red and a little dusty and scuffed so I decided to hit it with Uber. My wife couldn't believe how well it worked. I gave her a few detailing brushes to get the dust and...

I have a ton of spray bottles, mostly with Tolco sprayer heads. They get "tired" and stop performing well after awhile, especially those that are spraying wax, sealant and other things that have coagulants in them. Here is an example of a 32 oz bottle of spray wax. Notice the dip tube end...

I stumbled across an old Chemical Guys video that perfectly explains why you should consider a drying agent. The link is here: YouTube (hopefully this does not violate any forum rules, if so, please delete) The value of this video is you can substitute any QD, waterless/rinseless wash and...

Some of us have to work in the sun. It is unavoidable, just like some of us have to work without water or under severe water-restrictions. What wash/wax/glass/AIO products works well for you in the sun? I realize coatings, sealants and other products will never work well in the sun so I'm...

I just received a gallon of Uber Rinseless and mixed up a batch of 40:1 QD to be used as a drying aid. I normally use spray wax as a drying aid but the weather is heating up here and I wanted something that would not streak when oversprayed on glass. At 3 oz/gallon you get more than 40...

Received 3 of these: Griot's Garage Pump Head Dispenser Was expecting to receive 3 of these: Griots Garage Dispensing Spout Already sent E-Mail and photo to customer service. Innocent mistake, probably sitting in bins right next to each other. I don't expect any issue with customer service...

I do business in Japan and and other parts of Asia and I wanted to get a detailing gift for a client who likes cars. The gift-giving protocol has some complications. It should be small, inexpensive (relatively) and unique. It should not be so expensive that it creates reciprocity and...

What product or products are you using up and needing to replenish on a regular basis? For me it is spray wax (OCW and Fast Wax) by the gallon which I use as a drying aid. Second would be McKee's Glass Coating.

Sorry, messed up adding the poll. I was interested about do or don't, what type of drying aid or drying agent if you do.
