Caution! Chadwicks Triple Play problem
After reading all the posts over the winter I decided to try Chadwicks Triple Play. Nowhere in all the posts did I read about the problem I am experiencing. After using the product I can no longer put my car cover on by myself. The finish is so smooth and shiny I am embarassed to have to ask my wife for help. She just stood there laughing her butt off watching me run from side to side to catch the cover as it slid off.
I am very happy with Chadwicks and will have to get used to asking for help. So fair warning people this stuff is slick!

Very Misleading Title. I hook the cover on the drivers door mirror, then walk around the front keeping a little tension on it until i put it over passenger mirror. But i have to agree, that is embarrassing to have to ask the wife for help..lol

Yes the title and text was meant to be a little lighthearted humor. I do use the same procedure as you, only I add a large rubber band to each mirror and that seems to hold till I get the front and back. I've tried many different polishes and waxes over the years but I can say Chadwicks is the slickest.

I still use a cover on mine but have the same issue if I don't catch it on the mirror properly, I have a light weight stormproof cover so makes it harder to handle when windy, I have to close the garage door.

WOW! I never thought of that. Household uses can open a whole new thread..........I think I'll just stick to the car for now.
