Well got the shipping from AG today and init was the Surf City Grime destroyer that i was eager to try out cos i hoped it was the "missing link" regarding winter washing here in Norway...

Lets say i was lucky cos i orderd the 2 liter AND the 24oz bottle, because the 2 liter didnt live trough the shipping, that one was empty on arival (AG is on the case;) so i dont have any worries about it) And it had disolved the cardbox and the customs in Norway had to repack the whole lot (thank you JFP)

So i used the SC Grime destroyer spray bottle ive got, and sprayed my wifes car down (dirty?....OH yes) on the side panels, hood, front and back, and let it soak for some sec and then i High presure washed one door as a test on the cleaning power of the SC grime destroyer alone (before i soaked the car with DG foam), took my finger after that and just slid it lightly over the side panel to se how much it removed. Well it wasnt much left of the dirt on the door, so it seems that it made the job as i hoped it should, and it may not be necessary to foam gun the car before washing when using this stuff as it seems to clean quite well.

Anyway, i had the foam lance ready, so next i soaked the rest of the car down with the Foam Lance and some DG RV wash conc/snow foam, then HP the whole car again and then washed it... The water wasnt dirty at all, and imo that comb did a great job

So after the first test of the Surf City Grime destroyer it looks like it will be my "go too" stuff when the cars get their washing during the winter, its a stronger cleaner than the DG 901/DP extrem foam/snow foam in a foam lanze/gun, but didnt seem so strong that i removes durable waxes/sealants BUT i cant say that for 100% sure cos i havent tryed it on my car or a car that has a "fresh" coat of wax/sealant on it (i aplyed some weeks ago, and will test the stuff next time i wash my car) If someone know IT removes sealant/wax please speak up.

I also got the Red Ulti-mit, and can only say that the wool mitt/ShMitt w/y still rocks MY world, Red Ulti-mit was ok, it sucks up a lot of water (witch is good if it sits tight on the hand) and gets kinda heavy and was WAY to big for my hands, and i was afraid it would fall off when i was washing the car, and i didnt feel it did anything different than the ShMitt does..

Rest off the stuff:

Also got some wax pockets, Cobra Guzzler 20x40 and a gift too...a MF from Meghan (thanks alot, and "HI" to you too:p)
 
I have read somewhere on the forums that it can remove wax and sealants. It was Surf City that answered my question about it. I'm sure it depends on the wax/sealant. Thanks for the review Truls! Please tell us how you like your new toys that weren't reviewed yet :)
 
I wonder if it's a problem with the Surf City Grime Destroyer bottles, because I ordered the 24 oz bottle, and when it arrived last Friday it was also leaking in the box. The bottle had split down the seam in the middle. I called AG, they sent out a replacement, and yesterday I got a - get this - box, with foam peanuts in it, and then a brown bag, and THEN the new bottle of Grime Destroyer wrapped completely in bubble tape.

That one made it - but someone may want to look into how the bottles are made, since this is the second one that split now and my box wasn't crushed or anything. Just grime free!
 
I never knew what product was damaged but I ordered a 2 liter of the GD (along with some other stuff) and my package was "Damaged and undeliverable"...

Meghan and her AG Team went at it for me and got me the package ASAP...overnight since I needed the langka for the weekend.

I am sure the AG team tracks things like this and gives feedback to it's suppliers.
 
Yepp its sorted out wit Melinda, and it went just smoooooth....Thanks Melinda;)

Used the Surf City Grime destroyer again to day, and MAN i dig this stuff, got a new car, and that needed a wash, sprayed the GD on the car, in door jams and hosed it down after...wasnt much grime left on that car..
