    Soaps : What`s your daily

    Finally down to my last jug of Griots. I posted this before but the last 3 jugs I got - I swear either it`s a bad batch or just reformulation. The lubricity/consistency was not of yesteryears. Terrible analogy but I felt like the old stuff was like 90W oil and my last 3 jugs ere like 35W oil...

    Wash as you mini-seal-coat the car - HydroFoam

    I`ve had a bottle of HydroFoam that was gifted to me. Been sitting around forever....used it twice post a thorough washing - sprayed out of my cannon. Car was very lightly dirty so I decided to do a 2BM with HydoFoam as my shampoo. Anyhow, maybe it`s the combo of the the fact that there is SIO2...

    Steamer - Does it help you get it Cleaner

Granted the CC is sprayed to a flat panel so I would think where the dent *lines* indents in, the CC is stretched/micro fractured... Granted I`ve had...
