Anything new and cool?

That about says it. I haven't been spending a whole lot of time on the detailing sites lately dude to winter; I've been taking the occasional temperate day to simply get rid of salt and dirt and work the interior.

So the question is whether there is anything new that's not to be missed on the detailing front? TIA

There hasn't been any earth changing products in the past year or so. For interior I still feel that Leatherique is hands down the best leather care for your leather and 303 Aerospace Protectant for your dash and consol and the 303 Fabric Cleaner (concentrate) or 303 Cleaner and Spot Remover (pre-dilluted) for carpets and stains throughout the interior. So that's just 3 products for your entire interior. Stoner's Invisible Glass is a great interior glass cleaner since its very effective and also safe on glass. After you have your interior all cleaned up you can help protect the carpets from future stains and make cleaning a lot easier with 303 Fabric Guard.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

George @ DI

New cool thing I have been seeing is the foam guns!

Also like the filter systems since my water is not so great!

You mean these things that incorporate the clay in the spray? Are they safe? Do they work as well as standard clay procedures?TIA

Hey George,
I'm no expert, but "Foam Gun" is used with car shampoo like P21S, PB SS&S.
And Porter Cable (PC) 7424 is used to apply and remove polish, wax, sealant...etc.

Safety?...hmm...not much safety issue regarding Foam Gun, but I've read few people harm their paint with improper use of PC. You should search and get as many info as you can before using it.

Ask George or Greg @ Detailed Image

Lately I have been looking through the detailing ilse at Advanced Auto and other stores. I picked up some Turtle Wax Platinum Detail spray at Target 50% off. I'll have to say, this stuff is not bad at all for the price. It smells awsome and gives a great shine, slickness is ok, and cannot comment on how long it lasts. It seemed to go on pretty easy for 32 degree weather. I like to try new things, BTW I have a bunch of expensive botique stuff, like Klasse, Poorboys, S100, Zaino, Menzerna and so on, which are all excellnt products, but for the price, some of the OTC stuff is not bad.

I'd also like to try the Eagle one spray Nano wax.

The Hydro foamers are great for applying a thick coating of foam on your vehicle. This combined with a quality sheepskin wash mit will greatly reduce surface scatches while washing. Hydro foamers
