I'm on my second gallon of Meguiar's M122 Surface Prep and honestly for the price it can't be beat. I feel it has much better cleaning power than an IPA based prep as it is acidic per its SDS. It wipes away polish residue with ease and really has some good degreasing power. It smells funky...

I use 3D Super Citrus APC for all exterior cleaning duties. It's insanely economical with its dilution ratios and packs a solid cleaning punch. I usually dilute it ~4oz to a gallon, and that's the "super strength" recommended dilution (32:1!). It's not a foaming APC I think because of the citrus...

Here's an alternative for you if you're not comfortable with a rinseless wash. Fill a pump sprayer with a gallon of distilled water and 1/2 - 1 oz of rinseless wash. After your final hose rinse, go around the vehicle with the rinseless + distilled solution and give it a good final spot free...

The new ZR2 very much appeals to me. Maybe down the line it would be a great replacement for my Xterra. Love that new L3B turbo-4.

Question for you all using Absolute -- Does it "clump" up in the bucket, and have issues mixing? Also does it smell like shampoo (lol)? I've been less than impressed with Absolute just because of its strange consistency. It's like it doesn't fully dissolve into the water for me. Wondering if...

I've pretreated with Feynlab Pure and then washed with ONR in the bucket. The Feynlab does an outstanding job of breaking down the grime and then the ONR wash easily wipes it all away with one bucket. Pretty awesome combo. I've also done this with the ADG stuff - pretreat with Fuzion then wash...

Great, now I'm going to have to try another one! I haven't really looked into this product yet. The UBS is awesome :dblthumb2:

After spending so much time trying to find the perfect product, it's funny to fall back to the good old original that does exactly what you want it to.

Yeah there are a ton of options out there. Some of the products I've tried: N914 (went through a gallon), Adam's, Ech2O, Absolute, ADG Wipeout, ADG Fuzion, Wolfgang, Wolfgang SiO2. I will keep chasing that rinseless dragon, but ONR/Feynlab are still the kings, IMO of course.

Honestly, at this point I've given almost every rinseless product out there a fair shake and I still keep going back to good old fashioned ONR. To me, it's the easiest to dry up, the best at the one-bucket sponge wash, and it has enough cleaning power for most needs. It gives the water the best...

GLI's are great cars. Love mine. I think the next vehicle I coat will have to be Primer + Mohs, it just sounds like a lovely coating.

I'm a huge fan of the BRS & UBS and do rinseless nearly 100% of the time -- not just my own vehicles, either. The way I see it is with a rinseless wash, the drying towel is a very important part of the process. The solution is doing exactly as you described -- it will encapsulate the remaining...

Agree! I especially like their interior upholstery cleaning system. It takes the guesswork out of what chemicals to use and is highly effective on all kinds of nastiness. Terminator, Carpet Bomber, and Finisher work together very well. When used with a steamer and a microfiber bonnet the results...

Gyeon has their own leather cleaners that leave nothing behind, a strong and mild version that they say is good for all leather types. If you plan to use their coating it would be a good natural pairing. Alternatively I've been using McKee's 70/30 leather cleaner and conditioner. It has some...

Been waiting for this debut. Looks like a great truck. Maybe a replacement for my Xterra down the line.

I just bought the Reset Red Pak to use in my gf's car, she spilled a whole pan of ceviche juice on her passenger seat, lol. Steam and extraction were not enough to remove the smell. Will be trying it this weekend. If it works well I plan to offer it as an add-on to my interior detailing...

I've been eyeing the Milwaukee cordless compact vac 0882-20 for this. I have a few batteries but I would probably end up getting another battery for it. Can still attach standard vac attachments to it while being a handheld vac.

Nothing aside from a ceramic coating will truly darken the paint, and even that isn't by much. Elixir is great, though. Easy enough to make it yourself too if you already have Reload and Hydro2.

I do an "APC rinse" on the vehicles that need it. I use 3D Super Citrus APC diluted 4oz to a gallon in a garden pump sprayer. I'll spray it on the dry dirty paint, let dwell, then rinse off. Usually avoid the glass on the car to avoid streaking. Then go on to my wash (usually rinseless with a...

I've tried all of the above. Started with N-914 and moved through the rest, and still have some of each on the shelf. In my own experience I find the new formula ONR to be the best for standard rinseless wash duties. It has better surface wetting capabilities and appears to encapsulate better...
