Used them yesterday on my cruze. That glass is pretty grabby with every MF towel I have ever used, including this new adams towel. I feel I may have used too much Adam's Glass cleaner and that didn't make any difference, I could even fold the towel to what the finishing side on the opposite side of the towel and it was already damp. Still was able to get a streak free finish though, just took some towel repositioning in my hand.

Has the glass been clayed?

Has anybody compared G&G against the popular spray on/rinse off sealant?

Got a chance to used it today. I really like the smell...it's just subtle enough. If I didn't have so much detail spray to go through, I would definitely order another bottle or two. I have some detail spray from a competitor that also has an apple scent I'll try next weekend to compare.

Is there a recommended car wash dilution? The instructions say to fill the bucket 2/3, but is there an actual recommended ratio?

Could there still have been glaze on/in the pad that affected the buttery?

I've got a Flex bag I got free when I bought the pe-8. It's big and fits all my polishers!

$35 shipped? This is not the cheaper plastic version that sells for $40. This is 75QGFMR that has brass fittings and sells for $55.

Good condition, works great. comes with everything pictured. Asking $40 shipped.

I have a new tin I'll be posting impressions this weekend. Basically it's the shine and longevity you love with a new easy on and easy off formula which was the biggest complaint of the original formula.

 

Much better tin as well.

Which is surprising to me, I've never had a problem with Americana removal. Always wipes off easy and clean for me.

I have an Adam's nozzle that I'm just looking for something different now. $40 shipped.

I've got full bottles of revive, undercarriage, and rinseless. You pay shipping. Would like to not separate. While I'm happy to just send this stuff out, if you have a bottle of the new blue soap gathering dust I'd trade straight up.

What's the lowest ambient temp that brilliant galze and detail spray are still workable?

While as of late I've sort of started collecting waxes, to be honest you would probably have a hard time telling the difference between Americana or patriot against any of the other boutique waxes. Find one you like, that smells to your fancy, and rub it on.

In the end, the wax is only as good as your prep/correction anyway

Have you tried patriot?

Haven't heard back on the pads so they are still available

Sealants really are amazing and blur the line on shine capabilities.  Literally waxes in my opinion have become outdated, only needed when going to a show and needing extra pop. (but then again, Brilliant Glaze is great for that too)

 

The old days where a wax would shine better than a sealant are really gone for the most part, you get a ton of shine, gloss, slickness, and about 3-4x the durability of a traditional wax.

Perhaps. Some of us still like rubbing some wax on our cars! Myself, I've even started to just kind of collect them!

And gone!

Pad blowout! All I ask is for shipping which should be whatever a large USPS box. Some pads are brand new still in package, the others have only been used two maybe three times.

Can revive be used with a machine?

Two 10' extension hoses from Metro. Used a handful of times, just like new. These sell from Metro for $37 each. $60 shipped within the 48.

I was just going to try it by hand for the spots I can't get a machine into

Does revive contain any fillers? If I do an IPA wipe afterwards, will the swirls/scratches come back?

I always toss it into the hamper.

 

I suppose if you wanted to reuse it, I would suggest putting it into a separate, smaller bin (make sure if is completely dry first) and put a Post-It note on the lid with what the towel was used for.

 

Then, you can use it for that same product again, and not accidently use it with a product that might be affected by the minor amount of residue on the towel.

This. I usually throw them in the hamper, but this would seem to work fine. I agree with making sure you're not mixing products.

I still have a mostly full bottle of severe swirl & haze

If I'm using a the master blaster to dry the car, do/can I still use a drying aid or is the drying aid more for the extra lubrication when wiping with a towel?
