Default Some mini reviews

Surf City Grime Destroyer: When I first got this stuff several months ago I loved how thick it was. Due to the viscosity the product clings to the panels instead of running of and thus, provides longer dwell time. While that was true it also made it a pain (literally) to spray. What I did this time to circumvent that issue was to dilute it with ¾ water and put it in a pump sprayer.. What a dream product to work with!!! I used it on the wheels and wells and all lower panels and it worked great. It still clung but due to the decreased viscosity and the pump sprayer it was everything I could hope for. It provided a very nice *froth* when agitated on the wheels and rims.. Triple A product! *edit* I should add that I have found out that SC has revised this product and it is less thick due to the difficulty to spray

Pump sprayer: If you don't have one - you should. Inexpensive & efficient. I purchased the one I have at home depot for I think about $12

Eshine Dehydrator Micro Fiber (full size and mini): What a great towel.. It even did great when blot drying.. Super absorbent. Prior to this I have been using the excel pacific blue towel. The eshine towel is about twice as thick….

Grout sponge: I used a mini grout sponge that came with the S1 package.. I used it with a traditional 2 bucket wash. Prior to this I had used a larger grout sponge and I didn’t like it - It felt awkward to me. I have been using mitts for awhile and thought today that maybe my dislike was due to the increased side. After using the mini grout sponge that premonition was confirmed.. I am wondering if I cut a larger grout sponge if it will still be paint safe??

Eurowow shag micro fiber: Simply put this is possible one of the best finds I have yet to come across. This is a great towel without having to sacrifice quality. I used it to apply system one spray wax. I also use them for ONR washes and spray sealants.. At $22 bucks for 10 uber thick, soft luxurious towels I challenge you to find a better deal

System 1 Spray Wax: Went on and off easy, it was dark by the time I was at this step but under the lights it provided a nice shine and decent slickness … I am going to withhold full opinion until tomorrow when I can see it in proper light…


Surf City Beyond Black: This product provides a deep rich matte look... it is water based and thin. I spray it on an applicator with a handle -about 3 sprays does two tires. So while it does cost a bit more I have realized a wee bit goes a long way.

The price went up again... I think these started off in the mid teens and then a member from autopis (Al53) found them.. alot of people bought them and the price went up to 21.60 I think and that was when I purchased some. As you can see they are now $26 - Still only 2.60 a towel
