Default 3 Cool Things

In cleaning and detailing my vette this summer, I found 3 things that I really like:

1. California Water Blade. I was skeptical but after seeing one in use at a detail shop decided to try one. Cuts down the drying time and the towels by 2/3. Very nice.

2. California Car Duster. Having a black car, this comes in real handy. Again, I was skeptical. Did not want to drag dust around and put small scratches in the paint. Works great.

3. Meguiars Hot Shine tire dressing. I have tried several tire dressing and they all looked ok. But I wanted a real nice shine. This is the first stuff I've found that does it. Plus it comes in an aerosal can with a real neat adjustable spray nozzle that cuts down overspray dramatically. The other stuff is going in the garbage.

If you have any comments or would like to add to the list...go for it!

You grabbed my attention! Never heard of this duster. Sounds good though. You think Canadian Tire would carry it?

Thanks for the feedback on the California water blade. I, myself was skeptical. Shacky, thanks. Going to have to go get one now.

I bought mine off of Ebay, but later saw them at AutoZone for about the same price. Not sure about Canadian Tire, but I love those stores!

I like Meguiars Gold Class Endurance High Gloss gel. I use a devoted wax applicator and after it's been on for a few minutes I go back and wipe the excess off and then it comes up with a nice matte to almost glossy finish. If you let it stay you get a beautiful shine.

Stuff wiped off:



It also has no overspray being a gel, and the bottle will last a lot longer than the aerosol stuff. You just get more uses out of a bottle of gel than a spray.
