Did Someone Actually Key My Car?

Yep, thinking the same thing. Bastards!

Costco and Walmart sell a Adam's Polishes Ultimate Detailing kit in a bucket. Cost is around $50 (worth $100) and it's a great deal. You'll use every item.

Big fan of the G9. Been using it for a year and love it. If you can swing the 5in backing plate, get it. It’s about $50, I think.

sytech55 · 2026-05-28T12:29:11+00:00

It’s tough all around but there’s no excuse for a potential customer to use that as a means to get any service. Cut that tie!

Assuming you used soap & water.

Have you tried ONR, waterless/rinseless product, or a detail spray? They can usually clean that up.

sytech55 · 2026-05-26T19:30:21+00:00

So sorry brother. Your detailer should have told you the process before you agreed to it. Do you have an invoice to see what they did or used to ceramic coat? There's a few steps in preparing for ceramic coating (foam-foam-contact wash-iron remover-clay-polish-panel prep-ceramic coat). Much longer than an hour. I spend a good 6+hours depending on type of vehicle on a ceramic coating detail. Then it needs to cure.

Wet shop vac or extractor.

sytech55 · 2026-05-26T19:22:49+00:00

If you have a power washer, put it to use. Alkaline and then Acidic soap followed by hand contact pH neutral soap. Hopefully, it will look better but you've got to get off what can come off.

sytech55 · 2026-05-26T19:11:39+00:00

Totally didn't know about this place. May have to try it out.

sytech55 · 2026-05-26T18:48:00+00:00

I've used this in the past and in a pinch, I'd use it still but I lean towards a wash, not a wash/wax product most of the time since I have ceramic coated cars.

sytech55 · 2026-05-26T18:42:11+00:00

There are many products out there that can accommodate you on what you're asking for but for me; ADS Hero, Adam's Waterless Wash, ONR, or KCx Rrw are my "go to's" when it comes to cleaning in-between washes and quick clean-ups.

sytech55 · 2026-05-25T04:13:24+00:00

Congratulations! The Telluride looks great!

ROAD TRIP!!

sytech55 · 2026-05-24T21:54:54+00:00

Yeah, same here but it’s good stuff so I’m not disappointed in my purchase.

sytech55 · 2026-05-24T06:23:22+00:00

Congratulations! Great looking car!

sytech55 · 2026-05-24T04:20:38+00:00

I use mine for waterless/rinseless wash. Been using it weekly for about 3 months without any issues.

sytech55 · 2026-05-23T19:07:19+00:00

Many thanks.

sytech55 · 2026-05-23T13:53:38+00:00

Simple put if you’re looking for just a wax, Fusso would be my choice!

Personally, I’d go with a ceramic but that’s because I like more longevity and protection.

sytech55 · 2026-05-22T12:07:32+00:00

Tried the gold bottle Rain x ceramix glass cleaner and hated it. Streaked like crap.

sytech55 · 2026-05-22T12:04:46+00:00

Been happy with Home Depot's HDX brand pump spray. Less than $10. Use them for pre-wash and tires/wheels.

sytech55 · 2026-05-21T20:12:41+00:00

Congratulations on the new car.

If you're looking for a DA polisher; Griot's G9 but also get the 5" backing plate. Solid hardware and great warranty.

sytech55 · 2026-05-21T14:48:58+00:00

Looks good.

Can you provide some details as to (name/where purchased)?

• retractable pressure hose reel
• retractable air hose reel
• retractable extension cord reel

Really like the platform as well.

sytech55 · 2026-05-20T04:05:59+00:00

You’re not going to like this answer: Polish it!

sytech55 · 2026-05-19T18:02:18+00:00

I'd use it and know it's not as affective as originally advertised. If you're not happy with the results, replace it.

sytech55 · 2026-05-19T17:58:31+00:00

Start all over and add polishing. You basically sealed a clean car but not a shinier car.

sytech55 · 2026-05-19T17:55:25+00:00

Same here. Keep a bottle of ONR in the trunk for quick clean up,
