Never did anything but hand wash or hand polish my entire car owning life. I used the Griots ($90 sale from Advanced a few weeks back) over the weekend with a black Lake County pad and Menzerna SF4000. Super easy...my car is sliver, but it almost makes me want my next car to be black.

I'm on the tail end of my bottle of Four Star UPP. I'd like some input as to what's the latest and greatest out there that performs like UPP?

Thanks.

 

Congrats on the Griots DA. I have one too. Saves your wrists!

Four Star UPP seams like a liquid sealant. Asking for paint cleaning chemcials is like asking for the best motor oil. Everyone has an opinion and bias, but I say stick to what has been working for you and what you feel comfortable working with. Most paint cleaning chemicals have a learning curve.

I was using Colinite with a carnuba wax layered over, moved over to CC Jetseal, and recently picked up the Klasse twins. A family makes it harder to find time to detail, so I started leaning towards durability over shine.

 

I was thinking about getting that new Griot's Garage BOSS DA.
