hondas123 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I like Stoner products too. Their glass cleaner is the best in my opinion. Do you use a chamois to dry the car? I always give it one final rinse and go right for the chamois after. Helps to prevent water spots. I've always purchased my chamois from www.griotsgarage.com They're not cheap, but last a long time and I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay form. - The Mortgage Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWD_Rules3830 Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Nothing wrong with microfiber either. I have always found it better for the paint if you use something gentler that a chamois, but thats just my opinion I love my car ... basically.

hondas123 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 There are some chamois on the market I wouldn't dare put near my cars finish. Most of those are found at Walmart or Target. (cheap ones) The chamois at www.griotsgarage.com are a lot different than those. This is the one I use... http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_1000&L2=L2_1003&SKU=11101 - The Mortgage Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCDetails Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 That is why you don't wash your car in the wind. Why would you use Invisible Glass and newspaper to wash your windows? The newspaper trick is from back before they had good glass cleaners. It was used all by itself because the ink acted as sort of a polish on glass. In the last 30 or 40 years since people were cleaning their windows that way, there has been a lot of progress made in glass cleaning technology. You'll probably find your results with Invisible Glass and a microfiber or shop towel are just as good as it was with the newspaper only without the streaks. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

hondas123 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 OC...have you used products from griotsgarage? Just curious what your take was on them. - The Mortgage Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Griot's has some good stuff in their store, but most of it is available in a lot of other places too for less money. They slap their logo on it and charge a bigger markup is all. I haven't ever used their paint care products, but I've used a few of their tools. Everything I have ever read about them has been positive, so I'm sure you'll be happy with what you get if you shop with them. I don't shop with them very often because they are just too expensive on the things I buy. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

pillboy Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I have used their paint clay and Speed Shine (as lubricant) for a couple years now and love the products. Just one man's opinion. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
