tried some new products in the past few days and got some reviews...

ok autogeek has been sending me boxes like crazy this month! ill try to list them so i can remember everything cause, theres a lot!
autogeek 6 gallon wash bucket
Edge ShMitt white/yellow
WG wheel cleaner
WG tire gel
OXO brushes
diamondite clay n shine


here we go.
the autogeek 6 gallon wash bucket. washed 2 cars with it tonight and ...its a bucket. not a whole lot to say there LOL. the wheels roll easy when pushed but didnt roll down my driveway which was great. the lid will be a big plus in the future i can tell. the hangers too will be a big help in future washes:applause:
for 30 bucks, id buy it again
Not a whole lot to say about hte shmitt that hasnt been said. its a great product and if you havent gotten one yet, id recommend getting one. i did get some grease or oil on it and its a little tough to get it out but its a small spot...
i havent encountered any nasty wheels so i cant comment on the wheel cleaner too much ...the wheels are coming out very clean and i would guess this gel is doing its job. ill continue using it on other details and hope that somebody has some dirty wheels. my aunts vehicle had some dirty tires and it cleaned them pretty good.
after that i dressed with the black diamond tire gel. great stuff! very shiny and so far has lasted 1 week and 1 wash on my tires....ill see how much longer they last

next is my new oxo wheel brushes. im very impressed with them. ive never used brushes before and i was skeptical... i didnt think they would do as good of a job. well i was wrong because the wheel brush is very soft and gets all the nooks and crannies. also got a deep reach 11 inch brush and its a bit stiffer than i anticipated but it gets the inside of the wheels pretty good... i think it should be longer though and not as thick as the longer one they have for sale, just my opinion i guess. also used the OXO tire brush and will continue to do so, works very well
now, my FREE GIFT! diamondite clay and shine. i was skeptical. very skeptical. ive used the yellow sponge before so i knew it was safe but i just didnt think this stuff would work too well.i was surprised at the outcome. it really clayed the paint haha. i used the provided wax but i was doing this in the cold and at dark tonight so... it looked better in the spotlights!

sorry i wasnt super detailed but it was a lot of products i tried out so if you have questions or comments please, share
 
OXO is a hidden gem in car detailing tools as well as tools for the kitchen. One product line you can shop with wife for together.
 
Diamondite clay and shine, going to try it this weekend. I have the OXO wheel brush and the power puff, use them both. Great products.

I've got to get me one of those!
Maybe 10!
 
Could you go into a little more detail about the Diamondite Clay kit? I too got that has the free gift, but I really don't know much about it.

Thanks

lol :D
 
haha...well its better than a 5 gallon bucket in my opinion and i had it packed with washing stuff today and lifted it up, so light!

anyways the diamondite... ok well just make sure you soak the yellow sponge in nice warm water and hold it in there and squeeze it a few times if you can. also a good idea to have a bucket nearby to rinse out the scrubby...filled with nice warm water. ok shake up the can really good like whipped cream and just spray it on the paint... i did it in a line a few inches long like about 6 inches i think... then i blotted it and started to spread it. considering that stuff the clay lube and the spnge is a claybar. i used back and forth motions and worked an area about as long as a regular clay bar. when your done just wipe it off with the MF. move on or wax the area. now like i said i used back and forth motions and the paints had a decent amount of swirls but i couldnt find any straight scratches or marring caused by the sponge. just try it out and i bet youll be kind of surprised. i dont know if ill buy this again or regular claybars instead because i dont know how long the can will last
 
Thanks for the updated review. I feel a little better.
 
personally i dont like to brush my car, but if your set on brushes, those OXO's are great
 
Great write up, thanks for doing it.... Hope you like all of your new stuff and get a lot of use out of it
 
actually this was a pretty old thread but to update, my shmitt is still in use althought the foam has ripped open a bit so im gonna have to order a new one soon, but i still love using that tool.
the bucket has served me well, im still glad i bought it and i use it quite often.
the oxo brushes...well the tire brush i usually dont need to use on my car so i doesnt get much use but the wheel brush ive been quite happy with, but now the bristles are getting worn and dirty so soon ill need a replacement, i think ill buy another, as well as a wheel shmitt to try out.
wheel gel, i just finished it off the other day and i was cleaning some wheels that hadnt been cleaned in about a year( theyve been sitting in a warehouse since i bought my car) and these wheels were coated on the inside. unfortunately nothing i had would get this stuff off.... i scrubbed like hell, tried wheel glaze too, nothing...the wheels are damagedfrom brake dust but i dont really care, theyre going to be my track wheels! i will buy more wheel cleaner from AG, im thinking DP this time. i liked pinnacle a little more than WG, but they were both wonderful, i just gotta try out the dp stuff now
 
Whats about the special OXO brush? Are there others (Meguiars?) or sth. better. Is it one of the best brushes? I´m not sure to order, so I have to ask you guys.
