So many household uses for these products.

I used iron remover on a rust ring that was on the lino on our balcony. Not sure what the previous owner had there, planter or table probably. Whatever it was left a 10" diameter ring that APC and a scrub brush wouldn't touch. IR worked perfectly, and fast.

A balmy 15c/59f here today and sunny. Perfect for a wash.

Didn't take a before pic, but here is the old beat up nox after a wash, HGG, glass sealant, and a little attention paid to the trim and tires.

Probably time to swap the wheels back over to the all seasons.

Oh, also used TRC on the weathertech mats then hit them while working the tires and trim. They look like new - thanks one take Tuesday!

Lastly hit the interior with interior detail spray with microban.

More work than I planned to do, but you know how it goes. Once you get started...

Another great vid. 

I haven't thought to use Tire and wheel cleaner on floor mats, but I will give it a go today! My weathertech mats are in an embarrassing state.

Keep up the great work team Adams.

Nice job on vid 2.

It worked. I hadn't planned to grab CS3 but I will now with my next purchase.

Looks to be a great option for wiping down cars in between washes. I maintain a couple of other people's cars and will make sure they get some of this so they can keep their rides super shiny while protecting my hard work to get them that way 😜

Solid first vid. Looking forward to next Tuesday.

Couldn't be more clear. Makes a lot of sense to me. Thanks @falcaineer for that answer and @TR6speed for asking the original question.

Follow up question. How much additional protection does layering CS add? Have people noticed a difference in durability or maybe more gloss?

I have also read of people using Boost the day of or after applying CS. Same question applies - is it meaningfully beneficial or more peace of mind?

Having just used CS for the first time this weekend (pics to come later) I found myself wondering these things.

Hey,

 

I wanted to throw a couple more pics up for those thinking about the new tire shine.  I had the chance to clean the tahoe up the other day, and it got the new version on Tire Shine...

 

 

 

(Edit- also used CS3 as a drying aid, over top of the coating)

Nicely done. Tires look great and you even brought a lustre to your dog's coat!

Hack job

Depends on the mood. I'll play jazz or blues if it's a relaxing puttering sorta garage session. Sometimes folk or rock.

More often I am on a timeline so I put on more upbeat selections like heavy metal, hard rock, punk, EDM, even a little pop...basically anything that you would find on a workout mix.

I like a lot of different genres, the only requirement is that the music is well played.

Space age

I'm with you. Thought the technology is cool but that just screams trouble either from door dings or from other angry commuters who are blocked out of their vehicles.

Wondering how you like your Equinox?  I bought a 19 about 6 months ago and the wife is ready to GIVE it away.  Bought the Premium model, but it has issues I'm not used to in a new car.  Doesn't go for crap even on the slightest amount of snow unless it's in AWD.  Open the sunroof just a hair, and there's all kind of cracking and ticking.  No nav unless I use my phone.....not happening.  Noisy.  Has the 2.0 turbo in it,  and it's not terrible, but glad I'm not towing anything.  

Just wondering what your thoughts are on yours?  

I'm with you and your Mrs. This is a 2012 I bought new. It's been reliable and comfortable overall, but there are too many shortfalls.

Agree they are crap in the snow. I think mine is a 1.8 if I recall correctly. too little engine for the weight, and the fuel economy is lacking. Feels some sluggish when there is a full load of passengers. Should have got the 6 cylinder.

I have had this in for various warranty issues including pistons and rings before 60k miles. Not good.

I guess to summarize - I have not been disappointed really as I knew I wasn't buying a performance or luxury ride...but it could have been so much better.

My mother in law has a '17 LT that is improved from mine, but still middling. I would not buy another.

Finally got a chance to clean up the 'Nox. Just had time for a wash and application of glass sealant. There is a lot more that could be done...but this is a big improvement.
