Christmas Gifts...

Anyone get any good detailing products for Christmas?

I spoil myself all year long, so I don’t tend to ask for anything detailing related for Christmas, but I do typically give detailing gifts to the other car guys in my family.

I got My dad a small collection of GTechniq products to help maintain his 991 Carrera S.
- G Wash
- C2 V3 Liquid Crystal
- Leather Guard

I got my brother some stuff to help him keep his car clean with his limited amount of time.
- Optimum No Rinse
- Blackfire Crystal Seal


Merry Christmas!

My gift to my dad was a gift card to his favorite restaurant and Im going to polish his 13' Boss 302. Its black and has had a very hard life. When I waxed it this last year I noticed that it was hit on the passenger quarter, so my friend who does body work is going to try to take out the sand scratches and I was going to polish the whole car after. I just can't stand unique cars being treated like a turd. Its even a Leguna Seca edition. Hopefully it turns out alright.

I’m jealous! It was well below freezing and snowy outside on Christmas here... it has not been above freezing for a while, so my car is filthy!

Got a new product: Gyeon tire. So far so good! No sling, fairly simple application and gives just the amount of shine. Supposed to be the nice in between from Silicon based and water based products. But time shall tell how I ultimately feel about the product!

Agreed! Side note, Zac are you based out of Peoria now or still in St. Louis? Do you have any recommendations for someone in the Springfield area for someone to go to for maintenance washes? If it’s easier to PM me that’s fine !
