    Review - CG New Look Trim Gel & Speed Wipe Anti-Static Detailer

    And the winners are....



    SS 07C70 – New Look Trim Gel & Speed Wipe Anti-Static Detailer

    Wendell Jarvis – Maxi Suds II Bare Bones

    CieraSL – Pete’s 53 Wax & InnerClean Interior Detailer

    Jrew359 – 50/50 Wax & Extreme Gloss Enhancing Bodywash

    VitalCarCare – Diablo Wheel Cleaner & G6 HyperCoat


    Some of the above products may have been opened for photographs or used by me for testing but rest assured there is plenty for you to try out.

    Congratulations to the winners! I`m excited to see all the upcoming reviews! Winners, please send me a PM with your complete shipping information.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To start, I need to apologize for not having any photos of the products in use, but I don`t think I would have been able to do the review any justice (by no means am I a photographer) if I had tried to post any.

    It was cold here, so the wash routine was a quick spray down at the quickie / high pressure car wash down the street, followed by a drive home, and the drying in the garage.
    This is where the first product (review) came into play.

    I spritzed the Chemical Guys Speed Wipe (Anti-Static) Quick Detailer on the wet car (not the actual use, but I tried it & it worked great) to be used a a drying aid, and it left the paint smooth & streak free. Very Impressed!

    Waxed: Went over the car with Zaino AIO (by hand) to clean the paint & prior Meguiars Gold Class Carnauba Plus Premium Liquid Wax. Next came the LSP, Blackfire Wet Diamond, All Finish Paint Protection (first time used & VERY impressed - I was / am a long time Zaino user).
    Wheels & tires were clean, but needed detail, so I sprayed them down with Sprayway Glass Cleaner and wiped down with an old MF towel, cleaned the barrels by spraying & scrubbing with an old MF towel wrapped around a wheel wollie.
    This is the second part of the review.

    I used the Chemical Guys Extended Life New Look Trim Gel to dress the tires. They turned out AWESOME with just one coat - a nice natural shine that wasn`t to glossy (just enough shine to accent the WET/ SHINNY (Blackfire) black paint on the car). I was so happy with the look, that I put a coat on the textured black plastic diffuser (back bottom between exhaust) and LOVED the look it gave. I`ll definitely continue this!
    Also, as wheather / temperature permits, I plan on trying this on a few other surfaces such as the textured black plastic cowl below the windshield, along with some of (if not all) the rubber trim (door & window) around the car.
    Overview:
    Both are wonderful products & I would recommend anyone to at least give them a try!

    What other detailers have you used and how do you compare the CG product with them in terms of ease of application, shine, slickness, durability?

    I`ve compared New Look Trim Gel with Black Wow. On both, a little goes a long way and do wonders for trim. CG NLTG provides a more "new look" v. Black Wow`s glossier look. Trim Gel is easier to apply because every Black Wow application I`ve done turns splotchy after a couple of days. I`ve cleaned with IPA and APC, wiped off the excess, etc.

    I`ve used:
    Detailer`s Pro Series Final Gloss™ Quick Detailer
    Meguiars Ultimate Quik Detailer
    Mothers California Gold® Showtime® Instant Detailer
    Z-6 Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer Spray: Zaino Store
    Z-8 Grand Finale Spray Seal: Zaino Store
    and they all work well, but after reading (and learning) more on these detailing forums, this was the first I have used as a drying aid - and like it.
    As for ease of use, I`ve never had a problem with any of them except the Z8, which isn`t really a QD - it seemed to leave some streaking, ALL the rest are good.
    Slickness - The CG is right on the top of the list, but they are all good.
    Durability - hard to say - very subjective.

    Hope this helps.

    Nice review, I`ll have to order some ( Speed Wipe Anti-Static Detailer) and compare it to the Adams detailer that I have. They look the same. I have been buying some CG stuff and look forward to trying more.
