World Rally Blue 2022 BRZ Meets Gyeon Pure Evo

[01GreyStangGT]

Great job and love that color!

So I just thought I'd give a little update. It's been nearly a year since the Pure Evo was applied. Here are some beading shots. Keep in mind the car is dirty from being driven in the rain for almost two weeks.

Love the beading/ sheeting. Water just flies off the car at speeds as low as 35mph.

What's your pre-wash and 2BM regime

Nothing special.

I don't do pre-wash other than to hose it down to knock off surface grime.

As for a wash, I just use Megiuar's Hyperwash and a Rag Company mitt. Again nothing special.

If the mood strikes me and I have time I'll wipe it down with Gyeon Ceramic Detailer when I'm done every 4-6 weeks, but I haven't done that since October.

I'm not familiar with Meg's Hyperwash, I know it's a forum favorite but that's about it. I see your beading is really good but ever you see it not doing its thing like before, a good pre-wash from Bilt-Hamber Touchless or Auto-foam or even DIY Detail Incredible Suds should unclog the coating

Don't sleep on hyper wash, I've personally witnessed it unclog a coating I thought was dead (M37 v2) and it began to bead quite nicely after that. Per sds ph level is 9-9.8, dilution ratio is 400:1, and it can be purchased at harbor freight for less than $30 a gallon. Performs well in a foam cannon or a bucket. Dollar per dollar it is really hard to beat.

Hyper Wash is also Meguiars answer for the commercial car wash industry. That 400:1 ratio was tailor made to run in tunnel car washes.

Less pH than the industry standard for excellence (Bilt-Hamber Touchless and Auto-foam) but that pH level and your statement about unclogging a coated surface says something, plus it's local and about $25-30 cheaper a gallon, maybe Meg's has a useful product for me (sorry Ric)

What car wash did you grow up on?

Well I'm 53 so your asking me to go back sometime but when I didn't know better I used Dawn, I'm sure of it

I know your a Meg's guy and I did use Gold Glass back in the day, Turtle wax carwash, ICE car wash...basically whatever because I didn't know better.

Been here since Feb 2012 and I can honestly say that now that I've tried and used Bilt-Hamber Touchless and Auto-foam for well over a year now I see no point of "trying" other products for pre-washes, especially when the car is really dirty and benefits from a good, strong pre-wash. If the car is days dusty these 2 also get it done..
Foam, dwell, rinse and dry, EASY!

Yes I have other pre-washes in my collection, DIY Detail Incredible Suds for instance which cleans VERY well w/o such a high pH level like the Bilt-Hamber duo, it will probably stick around as I really like it. Once my gallons of Bilt-Hamber are empty I'll need to pick 1, can't go wrong with either if I'm being honest.

Sorry to be so long winded Ric, I tend to do that

That’s the answer I was looking for.lol. I used to love some Gold Class.

And are you talking about Zip Wash? That stuff was wack huh? Lol. At least you weren’t a Mothers California Gold guy. Lol. My best friend who wound up liking cars as much as I did was a big Mothers guy. Huge fanboy at a time when he got a car before I did, so it’s all I would hear about. By the time I finally got my own car I hadn’t been impressed, so I went in another direction which lead me towards Meguiars.

It probably was Zip Wax, whatever my late Dad had I guess. I've never been impressed with Mother's at all...remember CMX I used to be all about Meg's, just like you Ric and a guy on a forum I used to be a big contributor on Capital Region | Center for Economic Growth a guy called my garage "The Mequiar's Compound". I'm certainly swayed by "boutique brands" but love Griot's and Gyeon too

Been on vacation for a few days and just now catching up.

This has been my experience too. I've used several other car wash soaps which I've liked for various reasons, but Hyperwash has quickly become my favorite. From cleaning ability it is only second to Carpro Reset. In fact, since I've been using Hyperwash, I've not had to use Reset on any of our coated vehicles. The coating just doesn't seem to get clogged. When I used my pervious favorite wash soap, Optimum Car Wash, I'd have to get a sample sized bottle of Reset each Spring to "wake up" the coatings on my cars. No so now.

I've got a bottle of 3D Pink sitting in my garage to try out after this jug of Hyperwash. Unless it's a total knock out, I think Hyperwash will be my go-to I settel on. For now... Hyperwash cleans so well, I simply don't feel a need for an elaborate wash process. I simply knock off the loose surface grime, pre-treat any bug splatter, and then get to washing.
