    Use a Paint Sealant they last a lot longer, than just a wax. I use Blackfire Paint Sealant twice a year and my almost 7 year old paint looks amazing.

    Since I've moved, I haven't found a worthy place for Detailing my Taco.

    I'm actually considering buying the Griott's Garage GP to save some time applying/removing wax and polish.

    Any info that might be helpful on a DYI approach? I have a lot of product accumulated... just don't have the time to do it all by hand.

    just to clarify, carnauba is a type of wax and not a brand of wax.

    many if not all wax brands offer a carnauba wax, aside from other wax options

    Yes, I mean the hard Carnauba that you have to rub to get it onto the applicator. Lots of liquids aren’t a real Carnauba.

    I’ve been using it for almost 6 months on my Super White. Overall I like it. It goes on easy and leaves a nice shine. The water beading is great. I wouldn’t say it’s going to last “up to 12 months” like they claim but I would recommend maintaining it with CG’s HydroSuds car wash soap.

    have you done the hydroslick and hydro charge combo. With the hydro suds when you wash. That is the combo I am wanting to try

    I have not used a combination of all 3. It was my understanding that HydroSlick and HydroCharge are 2 different products and aren’t meant to be layered together. That’s not to say they CANT be used together. Personally, I think the HydroSlick is hard to buff

    Haven’t found anything that comes closes for colonite 845. Love that stuff. Water beads and mud falls right off.037F3FF3-A58A-401B-90AD-00F6FE3227E2.jpg 40D33F83-98B1-4D57-A8D2-0459A0F6F412.jpg

    As a former user of 845, I switched to the Paint Sealant much better holds up a lot longer
