I do like HEB though, especially their Central Market stores. I make it a point to stop in one every time I go to TX. And Buccees. Gosh dang I love me some Buccees.
Can't go wrong with CARPRO. They make great products, I have a ton of them in my arsenal and rotate them out regularly. Perl, Reset, Lift, Hydro2, Reload, even Retyre is fantastic. Some of them I have found better alternatives (I much prefer P&S Express interior over CP Inside). As for polish, I bought a bottle of Essence, have yet to try it but its on my to do list LOL. But yes, I am always on the hunt for greater and better. I just love to try new things, much like our fearless leader D
And Armour Detail Supply has so far scratched that itch with every product I have tried. I will try their ceramic detail spray next, to see if it will dethrone Reload, Boost V2, and KCx S0.02.
Amen to that, Alex and I know my one nephew will rent a truck to take all my chidt when I'm gone. <grin> And I also give stuff away regularly although I've yet to have someone bring a spray bottle. <BSEG>
My daily driver gets driven over 40K miles yearly. Stays outside 24x7. I applied CARPRO Dlux to all the plastic trim last summer and it is holding up great, still nice and black and sheds water like crazy. This is a wheel and trim ceramic coating. There are other brands that carry similar (Gyeon Trim is another). Also CARPRO Reload works for a while, also works on paint too, any ceramic coating or topper will work for a while. CG VRP is just a dressing and will last a few days at most like all CG products... Koch Chemie Plast star is a little more durable on trim, I use it on tires too.
I'm using car pro PERL neat/undiluted. Use it for trim and tires in one swoop!
I second Gyeon Trim. It's a very nice to apply and durable ceramic plastics coating. Mine has been on 3 or 4 years and still like when I applied it.
Perl is great
Another good one for UV protection is 303 Aerospace.
Same here
Short Term (Days to a week)-
) liked to apply make-up while driving so the first day of ownership was spent with my breath held trying different things to get the glitter off. None of the usual cleaning suspects would shift it and I think some were on the brink of affecting the leather and/or dye but I couldn't live with a rough wheel so it was 'crash or crash through' and get ready to buy a new one. Ultimately I found that I could pop the glitter off with a plastic razor blade, sadly the leather didn't, to my pernickety eye, escape 100% perfectly unscathed but it's still a good outcome.
Spill the beans, what flavor of Euro-trash are we talking about here?Dear Dr DFB,
I now have some Eurotrash, with a proper soft napa wheel, inhabiting the garage next to the Mustang.
It appears that the previous owner (Kylie someone perhaps ?
I'm now going to move on to cleaning out the perforated sections of the wheel as they're pretty gross. What would the Doctor recommend for this task?
Brilliant advice as always mate, thanks.
Very nice!Brilliant advice as always mate, thanks.
Happy to spill the beans if invited...it's the first question I'd have asked too
It's a 2012 C63. Been searching for 3+ years to find the right one. Completely straight, no panel work, full MB history, and a previous owner who spared no cost.
Exterior is Magnetite Black which isn't actually black (one in the family is enough) but a dark metallic charcoal. Unusually the interior is Sand (tan) which I've always liked.
But this is a detailing thread and it's not a Mustang so I'll zip it here. Not my car but you get the idea...
