I know there are numerous topics on this but it's got my brain hurting trying to decide on the thousands of products out there. So I need a little help making a decision. I have a power washer, foam cannon and buckets with grit guards. This is where I need help.

Where do y'all get your microfiber mits and towels from?

What soap or shampoo?

What clay bar and lube to use?

What sealer to use?

Tire shine?

Interior detailer?

 

Thanks in advance for any info you guys wanna give me.

I've used about every brand and product on the market. This is what I'm using as of now.

Microfibers, wash mitts etc come from theragcompany.com

Nanoskin hypersuds for soap

Nanoskin auto scrub in the place of clay and usually use water for lube. I don't use sealers anymore but I use Cquartz and Nanoskin Mega Trend for coatings.

Shine Supply interior detailed but I don't recall what they call it.

 

Be careful getting caught up with marketing with detail products. I've spent literally thousands of dollars on things because of the way they were advertised and they were no better than what can be bought from Wal Mart.

That's kinda what I'm afraid of, is spending a bunch of money on stuff that either I really don't need or just hype. This will be the first time actually washing and sealing the wife's suv and my truck. I always went to the car wash and shamied dry which I have found is not that good for the paint. I really appreciate the info.

Try to get things locally for most part. Pinnacle was pricey but it is a breeze to apply and remove. Waxed the 14 and 15 All Terrains about 20 times and still have just under half of the container left. I will probably buy S100 as it seems to be the same as P21s and runs less coin.

All Meguiars products. Soap to sealant, buffing pads, etc... Never had a bad experience with anything they make.

They cost more than some and a lot less than others.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.

      Weird click noise when revving my truck?

      By JimmyB4 · Posted

      Hello Guys I'm new to the form,         I just put a 7-inch Rough Country lift on my 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 and I also put a Borla exhaust on it. But I noticed when I'm in park or in neutral and then I rev my truck up really quick there is a bad click noise and I think it's coming from the motor somewhere. Anyways I got a video of it I will attach below I was just wondering if you guys think its rod knock or lifter tick or something like that because I know the AFM kind of made the lifters weak on these trucks.       Thanks!!!!! RIP - Chevy 5.3 IMG_6043.mov
