Is it a good product, safe to use on my car?  I have recently started using it, but have noticed a sort of splotchy look around my car.  Is that caused from this product do you think, or is it just road dust that is VERY hard to get off?  Thanks

I've used it without many real problems.  Have used Mother's Showtime too but I like Meguiar's better.  Mother's seems harder for me to get off before it dries and then it winds up making a bigger mess then the one I'm trying to clean up.  Most of the time all I'm doing is trying to remove... ummm bird residue.  For the dust I use a California Duster.

 

Perhaps your letting the detailer dry too much, I don't waste time removing it.  Or perhaps, looking at the picture of your rig, your paint is still too hot?  I dunno but hope it helps a little.

I use it as well with no real problems.  If I overspray with protectant or such it works great, you will run into problems if you get dirt on your paint and try to use it to wipe it off regularly.  Other than that it should work well.

I use it a bit.  Carry a bottle of it with some towels in the back of the Blazer.  No problems to report and I've been using it since I saw it on Autozone's shelves about a year ago.  Works great on bird doodoo.

Well the truth is i do (or should i say did) use it religiously.  If i noticed as much as a spec of dirt/dust on my car, i would use it and wipe it off immediately.  Still, i notice all kinds of splotchy crap all over the paint.  How do i get rid of these splotches?

P.S.  What do you guys do to keep your car streak free?  Black shows streaks like none other. I just cant get rid of them!  Thx.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      First off use it in the way you’re more comfortable. In working in off road situations most of my life I used 4WD low range very little. In most cases when equipped I used auto 4WD. If I wanted maximum control going up and down very steep terrain  I used low range. Especially if I was driving a diesel. Same with very rutted terrain. In very muddy or snowy conditions I wanted momentum so high range worked well for that. With gravel ramps with limited traction I would try high range first. I would want smooth even increasing speed if I was fighting traction. Low range could give you too much to the wheels breaking traction trying to move.

      Having owned 4wd vehicle since the 1970s I find there are varying opinions on how to use 4wd, every owner is an expert in their minds.  IMO, 4LO is the appropriate gear and what I would use,  You have to feather the gas to avoid spinning tires and the lower the gear the better chance.  But like I said you will find those that think their method is best.  I live near a boat launch.  Yesterday there was a new Ford Maverick pulling out a pontoon boat almost 2x its size, they had no problems and they don't have a LO range.   True story. One winter day not long ago I was coming out of small town post office and there was a F150 4wd parked in front and was stuck foot deep snow ruts. I knew the lady so I asked her to put it in 4wd (wondering why in the middle of a 2-day snow storm she wasn't).  Her reply surprised me, "my husband" (the expert) told me not use that because it uses too much gas. She finally got unstuck spinning in 2wd which likely used more gas than not.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.
