And **** that light colored green looks awesome....what I wouldn't give for anything but a black car.

BTW, I'm doing all my own detailing now. Too much pride to let someone else clean the hulk up. I just bought it, but going forward, its on me to keep it as close as possible to when it rolled off the assembly line. Doesn't "feel" right paying someone to do the upkeep.

Half of your man card returned! But really, it's kind of enjoyable. I like being outside anyway and not trusting some asshole to treat my car right. The less people that touch it the better.

Used Meguiars NXT 2.0 wax on both our cars today. This wax took a long time to dry compared to other waxes I've used. Kept doing the swipe test to see when it was ready and took about 45 minutes to dry at 65 degrees here today. Came off fairly easy and actually covered up some of the smaller micro-marring on my black car! Very noticeably on the hood. I am quite impressed for a very affordable wax. Have probably 2/3 of the bottle left too. Quite easy to put down a thin coat with this stuff. Not bad for $16!

Give me something to protect my car's dashboard without the greasy bullshit of Armor all. Do they make something that is a protectant and not just a cleaner, but doesn't leave behind a shiny film?

My dash is black and I worry about that a bit in the extreme heat here.

Protectants are all bullshit. The best thing you can do is keep the sun off of it.

Well my windshield is tinted Llumar air blue 80. Plus I still put a sun shade up on hot days as well.

Just wondering if there is something that gives a bit more protectant and finished look to the dash without being super greasy.

I use Napa protectant. It's not very greasy.

have you heard of quartz car coating? Believe me there's some chemicals that are absolutely NOT BS - however they won't be available at the Autozone.

Simply Red 12-29-2015 07:20 PM

but absolutely right about the sun Brock.

Chemical Guys Innerclean.

Not glossy, it has a UV protectant in it. Hands down the most awesome interior product I've ever used

TrebMaxx 12-29-2015 09:46 PM

Most modern dashes have built in UV protection built in. I have found that just keeping the dash clean is the best practice.
