I have a 40v Ryobi.  It works great for blowing grass and leaves around the yard, but doesn't really do a good job of drying water off of a vehicle.

1.  If I'm not interested in having my paint look 100% flawless and am only after the long-lasting protection, is it still necessary to polish before the application or will a thorough decon and claying suffice?

2.  I don't usually have any place to properly wash during the winter, so I'm forced to use the touchless "laserwash" type places, will the Coating and Boost stand up to the high pressure and gnarly soaps they use?

Hit up your local dealer or find one of them online, was not hard at all for me to find one and have it ordered in a few minutes. 

Yeah, god forbid the company actually sell me the products they make along with all their other stuff.  Oh, I forgot, they're probably too busy making 43 different Detail Spray labels for the hypebeasts to post pictures of on Instagram  

Someone posted this in August.  This half-assed limited release/dealer only stuff you have to scour the internet for is getting old.

Yep, it's easily the best detailing product I've ever used.

Bike turned out nice 

I have matte black wheels on my F150 and I didn't like how they looked after using Strip Wash and Matte Detailer.  They were very dry and almost splotchy looking.  I've been using Paint Sealant and regular Detail Spray with much better results.

Sooooo anyway my pumpkin spice air freshener smells like fake buttered microwave popcorn. Anyone else??? The DS and ID both smell like pumpkin spice, albeit a little less "authentic" than last year's. 

Interior Detailer instead of VRT in the engine bay.

6 weeks ago I did a strip wash and applied H2O G&G.  Truck sits outside 24/7 and hasn't been washed since.  Today I decided to stop by the carwash just to blast off the crud.

The only place I've ever used WW is on doorjambs and under-hood. I especially love the look it leaves behind under-hood. 

Someone's wife is pissed ?

As an update to THIS thread, I finally gave up and turned it into my car insurance.

Now I just need to apply some Trim Restorer to those nasty looking rubber pieces on the roof ?

H20 G&G everywhere but the wheels and tires, they got Paint Sealant and Tire Shine respectively ?

5 times.  I scrubbed my K02s 5 times with T&RC and an Adam's Tire Brush and the suds were still coming up brown ?

I probably would have kept going but I ran out.  Later when I was doing my strip wash I hit them with the Tire Brush again and the suds were still brown.

I use H20 G&G.  Tried the matte detailer and found it left them looking kinda dry.

I've had my eye on these machined aluminum ones for a while.

Each one isn't too terribly expensive but it adds up fast when you want one for every single socket. 

These inserts are really cool but man do they waste a lot of space ?

Been trying to talk myself into one for a while now, and I found this at a Sears that was closing. Regular price was $2,000, it's available online for $1,460 and I paid $1,000 ?

I got this 300-piece Kobalt tool set back in February for $150, it's just been sitting in the box in the box in my garage since then ?

I'd use the money to turn your 19 into a Roland Special ?

Here's my latest acquisition, a Springfield Armory Range Officer Elite Operator. 

I've already added an S&A magwell, hyena brown VZ Gunner grips and a SureFire X300U-A.

I don't understand what their is for them to "consider" about selling it in gallon sizes.  The product itself already exists.  The gallon size containers already exist.  Put the existing product into the existing container and charge people money for it 

Adam's Wheel Cleaner ?

I'm at a craft beer festival and tried a cream ale. Tastes exactly like Wheel Cleaner smells ?

Yeah, I'm sure the guys from Zubaz and JNCO thought their brands were gonna be around forever, too ?

Someone above pointed out that gallons of Odor Neutralizer still aren't available. That's an existing product that just needs to be put into a larger container than usual, and isn't available because of reasons? But they have all the time in the world to formulate different scents and colors for asinine "colabs"?

Except those "new consumers" are only here so their obscure clothing brand matches their even more obscure car detailing supplies, and they'll be outta here the minute it's time to move on to the next fad. Then you're left with a bunch of long-time, repeat customers you alienated to make a handful of extra sales to some clowns in ugly sweatshirts and skinny jeans.....

The labels don't say what the product does because it doesn't matter, it will never get used. It's just so people can post pictures of it on Instagram.
