    Most durable sealent

    Most durable sealant for me has been DG 501 and the most durable wax has been Collinite. This is probably why I now use both for my vehicles.

    Who here uses Tide for their microfibers?

    I used to exclusively use Tide but noticed the towels getting "stiffer." I then tried Griot's microfiber wash and the towels did seem to come out softer. However, I am now using Tide combined with distilled white vinegar (more cost effective) and the mf towels come out both clean and soft.

    Best AIO?

    My favorite AIO is Duragloss 501, which has both strong cleaners and nano-abrasives plus, since it is a sealant, it will last up to 6 months. I always top with Collinite 845.

    Optimum MF Pads

    Please keep in mind all of the Meguiar's microfiber pads that separated using any and all DA orbital buffers and not just Griot's. This was the main reason I tried the Optimum product since I was hoping that it would avoid the Meguiar's scenario. Unfortunately for me (and many others), the...

    Optimum MF Pads

    I destroyed two Optimum mf pads (first use) just on the hood of my car. I used a Griot's and speed 5 and switched pads per section. I had separation on one pad and the other pad on the back showed evidence of light melting and part of it was black. I was using D300. I was very disappointed but...

    clay bar storage

    My griot's clay started to fall apart (almost disintegrate) after a year of use. At first I assumed it was because I had tried Griot's waterless wash but then the next time I switched to UWW+ and the disintegration continues :( The clay is kept indoors in Griot's clay can and I always spray it...

    Thrifty Vs Fifty : Ultima Waterless Wash + Concentrate vs Blackfire Interior Cleaner

    I recently started using UWW+ on the interior on my Lexus and I haven't looked back. I even use the damp towels, after a waterless wash, to clean the exterior windows and it does a very good job.

    iPhone 5 or 4S?

    Interesting Chris because my brother did lose his unlimited data. He was told that he would have to buy the phone at full price if he wanted to keep the unlimited data plan on Verizon :(

    iPhone 5 or 4S?

    I'd get the iPhone 5 because it has an extra 1/2 inch of screen space and the LTE (4G). Also, PC Magazine just dubbed the iPhone 5 the fastest phone and Anandtech also showed it beating every phone currently available. It has double the memory of the iPhone 4S and so is more future proof as well.

    iPhone 4S or the Competition for under $100?

    +2, if she wants an iPhone then get her one---it is considered by her peers the cool phone. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy 3 and I had an iPhone 4. I am not the type, and your daughter probably isn't, that will root and flash the phone weekly. The iPhone 4S is a fantastic phone and she...

    2nd Attempt post of the Griots Paint Sealant Test.

    These test aren't exactly "scientific" but does the Griot's sealant claim to sheet water instead of bead?

    Going from Griot's 6 ROP to Meg's V2...

    Great review, thanks! I am a hobbyist and got the Griots solely because of the lifetime warranty. Since I only use the machine a couple of times a year the warranty was what tipped it in Griots favor. I knew the GG had more power than the Meg's but also Meguiars was having major cord issues with...

    Thoughts on Griots Speed Shine?

    Griot's speed shine is the best dedicated QD that I have used as well. It does contain some wax, which should boost protection some. Naturally, the areas you wash the most will wear own the fastest.

    Meguires g110v2

    Yes, from what I understand, the PC is made in Mexico and China now. And, yes, it certainly is sad to see the US losing the manufacturing industry. For the record, I have a Griot's and absolutely love the machine and I do not have to worry about the pad stopping. In fact, I'm constantly...
