, do you have that same photo but with the other wheels? For a back to back? Could be the off road stance throwing it off, cause that wheels specific design details that were unique to it for a regular mesh wheel looked great off car…

Lmao off road stance

Surprisingly, I don't have a shot like that with the other wheels, despite that being my "go to" angle for shots in my driveway lol...

My daily…

Ev powa

ah, nice! i was so confused with the glimpse of the headlights looking very MK8-ish, but the clamshell hood threw me off. I was like, arteon? lol

Why didn't you warn me this stuff smells like a combination of rotten eggs and stale farts???!?

and that one is not the worst smelling one!!! Adam's original was worse. All the rust removers smell similar, if they don't smell that bad they don't work well or are severely watered down.

This, I've got some chemical guys that smells good BUT is worthless for any real brake dust.

CG is garbage! Yet they sell soooo much it baffles me. A lot of their products are the same crap, diluted and in a different color for specific uses. Which is why I like Optimum, they have ONE All Purpose cleaner and give you the instructions on dilution ratio for whatever use you may have. Adams was amazing 8 years or so ago, they have started to shift to the CG strategy with so many different options of the same product. If you want the better ones you have to buy their "top" of the line recommended items.

This!

That tracks.

All my CG stuff was a gift, and I'd say it was worth the price I paid. But I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase it. It's one of those things where I do the heavy-duty clean at home, and then if I'm going to a show/C&C or something I'll use it to kind of remove any minor stuff.

But let's be real -- ONR is the GOAT. I like the ONR + wax for use as a drying aid and as intended as a rinseless wash, and it's fantastic. Though I've got a couple spray bottles of various mixes of Simple Green and water as light and medium duty APCs, because I like lemon scent.

The chemical guys interior cleaner is decent, matte finish not that glossy crap that looks terrible. Smells good. Their new car smell I also like.

That's the only two things I've used though

Yeah I bought some of their window cleaner and it sucks big time. Pretty much poured it down from the top and still didn't remove interior grime. Smells kinda nice I guess.

 

[Acadia18]

Most of my stuff is either CarPro or Gyeon, but I wouldn't say I have a loyalty to one brand or another.

ONR is definitely the goat. It's a permanent staple in my pile of products that never goes out of stock. It has a million and one uses.

I have a few CG products, mostly because we have a local CG store that runs sales and discounts very frequently. When you get some of their stuff at 50% off, it becomes an alright deal. I've been running through a gallon of their Snowfoam soap, and I do like their leather cleaner. Not for how well it cleans, but for how well it smells

I’ll be honest…mine is such a daily driver I’ve given up on trying to keep her super clean on the outside. Have my guy detail and seal every 6 months and let her be
