    Thoughts on Griots Speed Shine?

    Love the stuff and never see any loss of any application underneath. Actually I am seeing it build and last--also I switched over to the spray on wax and works great with a quick wash or when wet and car is clean from rain....nice pop up shine that lasts. :xyxthumbs:

    Different LSP on front bumper

    Have loaded up the front clip with ReJex this past year and like the results...nice a slick. Recently tried the Griots bugbarricade, and LIKE the results. Previous product was a bit filmy or "waxey". It worked but dulled things. This new one does not--it goes on and buffs out great and shiney. I...

    What am I doing wrong?

    That probably would get it, yes. Try a small area and do a comparison. Someone else will know a bit more about the GM hardness of paint issues on this one. And #3 to end up with or even the 4 will probably put you right on target. Again, work a small area and see how it progresses.

    What am I doing wrong?

    I use the G's system all the time, and they work fine but am not running a paint correction shop, and not working with an older car. Their system is not an aggressive system, for that reason. It's not going to cut as you might need. Make sure also your surface was totally clean, clayed and pads...

    Tire Cleaner

    You will find a lot of opinions--so take all the suggestions in, and check different prods out. Thats the fun of it. But for me, I have switched over to the Griots tire cleaner. Gets the brown off, and I like the way it works on the tire with no harshness. Some of the OTC prods can be pretty...

    What are the opinions on Griot's microfibers?

    Honestly over the years I have a used a loooot of different brands. AG sells some nice ones but the Griot's line is probably my best bet for long lasting and the "stay fluffy" factor. The colors are nice, and it seems there's a reason on the green used for spray on wash, which is my go-to for...

    Griot's Garage Premium Carnauba Paste Wax

    :iagree: Spot on. Use any of the carbnubies wrong and its work time--we all know that. The Best of show actually works best [no flames here] if I mist the surface with some water...and work it till you can't see it. I then go back for a layering. Thats what they recco and it works. We Ami's...

    Exterior Vinyl Wrap care?

    Yup you're right on the link issue: sorry....I meant, FLX-Paint Home Page I think that will work to see this material. In any case, others have been correct. Test the material first before using any abrasive or pads. Thanks all, and Happy New Year week. :props:

    Exterior Vinyl Wrap care?

    When I was considering vinyl wrap for roof of my Bimmer, I was told by Megs and 3M that they did not recco buffing or waxing per se...but washing, and using a QuickSpray wax, and just hand buffing it out. I ended up with FlexPaint, from Germany, which is paint ON vinyl wrap, and can be buffed...

    Griots Garage Car Wash and good?

    Thing is, the combo lasts. Used a lot of spray on detailers and waxes, and the GG performs. And it builds up nicely for sacrifice barriers. I often just spray, swipe it around and let it sit for some time--go back and buff it out. You don't have to, but its nice. It seems to have a bit more...

    Griots Garage Car Wash and good?

    You'll love it...and when done and while damp, I spray on the their Spray Wax, dry it off and it lasts. I keep several sacrifice barriers on the wax...and the shampoo does not ruin the work...but the washing is great.

    Ultimate Detailing Facility,need help

    Then how about a decent, comfortable, clean, place to sit if someone came to visit or was waiting. Most shops are great on the noisiest and often cramped corners--read muffler-shop-deco here. I know, I know...space for most places is limited, but if you have the choice a nice place to sit down...

    Hi from Hong Kong

    Welcome William to the crazy, fung-qua world of detailing. Spend most of my time in Beijing, where detailing is NOT done to any great detail...a lot of rags, and poor habits...so it is swirl-city Capital for almost ANY clean car. The Griots DA advised above is great, along with their red and...

    heater for a freezing garage...recommendations?

    Well, I'll jump in here. Questions: where do you live? How cold will it get? How much do you want to spend? You have 3 car garage, and if you are in Toledo, you are going to need either a lot of kerosene or get something better. For years I used bullet industrial "tubo" heaters, and they worked...

    Griot's waterless spray-on car wash

    Use the Griots Spray on Wash all the time...and it works. Its inexpensive when purchased by gallon and lasts. Did it today in fact after messy rain here...and love it. Now if the surface is dried and has full grunge on it, of course you ought to consider not using a waterless system...but for...

    keeping a dust free car (almost)

    I personally like the idea of charging my car from the post. I now wonder if it would work with an inside 2X4 upright? You were using a 4X4 or 6X6 which I would think carry a lot more charging power; love the whole green example....sorry..could not resist :xyxthumbs:...BTW--love the idea--very...

    Just need help shining exhaust

    As above, & try to get a medium size container of the original ElbowGrease. Some of the newer substitutes are not as good as the older version of EG. The older formula was more dependable. :props: Oh & some older microfiber clothes or very soft toweling will help also.

    Wheel Brush

    You should have no problem. Once completely clean tho, get a good sealant, and wax on the rims, outside and in....this will just help keep b'dust from sticking quite as much, and help avoid scaring of the rim paint.
