Thanks for the comparison pic Chris. I still prefer the looks of the leather conditioner, however I can see how the new matte dressing would be a good option. Specially on leather seats.

I use waterless almost exclusively to help remove bugs from the front of the cars before washing. It makes them come off a whole lot easier and I avoid getting too many bugs on my wash mitt.

I usually use grey utility towels and the cockpit brush for my interior. It does take some scrubbing to get out the deeper stains, but you dont have to press hard.

another vote for the sealant option. You can always layer americana and brilliant glaze on top of that later, but the sealant will protect you the longest.

Welcome to the forum! For the vette, you can try using revive hand polish and a blue applicator pad to try and remove the buffer trail, but its going to require a lot of elbow grease and even though im not sure if itll get the whole thing out depending on how bad it is right now. As for the F150, now is actually a good time to do a full paint correction on it, but if you dont want to use a DA, just go straight to a clay bar and paint sealant. You can then add wax if you want, but the sealant will provide most of the protection you need without using a ceramic coat. Some people will say skip the clay bar if its not needed, but I find the sealant lasts a whole lot longer if the car is clayed. As for the maintenance, I really like H2O guard n gloss. It also adds sealant to your finish and a lot of shine. For a truck, I always recommend invisible undercarriage spray as it makes a huge difference on lifted cars.

Now you have me wondering about the pet hair stone. I use a shop vac to vacuum it out after spraying it down with some carpet cleaner. But i constantly have to go back and use an interior brush to help loosen some hair out and its just a hassle. Is the stone more efficient than vacuuming?

Even though admin isnt responsible for any trades that go on in the forum, ive seen them step up and take care of any thing that can go wrong in here. Its amazing how far their customer service extends.

Im curious about this too. Im probably going to buy a bottle of the new eco wheel cleaner this weekend just to try it out

I like using carpet and upholstery cleaner on cloth interiors and interior detailer on any plastic/leather/vinyl trim. If you need something stronger for stains, i use interior cleaner. But since its a new car, I doubt youll be needing that anytime soon. I also recommend leather conditioner on the dashboard. Itll leave it looking a bit shiny and keep it from collecting as much dust. Plus it has UV protection in case you live in a really sunny area.

I dont know if this is the right place for this but what do you guys think of char broil gas grills? I currently have a small weber charcoal grill, but I dont use it as often as I used to, and Ive been wanting to get a simple gas one for the backyard. Theres one on lowes for 150 and dont want to cough up the dough for another weber.

I really enjoy videos where people wash or restore random vehicles. Maybe go to a customers house and record the process of how you clean/repair that particular vehicle. Maybe a truck that just got back from offroading, or how to clean a wrapped car, etc...That way we can see how well the products work with abused vehicles and it shows different an creative ways to use your products.

Buttery still up for trades

I do sealant, wax, then glaze. My theory is the item that lasts the longest first, but i havent really noticed a difference.
