Good to see options on these. The pony cap for GT wheels is slightly smaller and rattles in GT350 rims. That's why I picked up these. 2
Martinnfb Posted March 3, 2019 Author Posted March 3, 2019 Here is what was recommended to me to wax with https://www.carzilla.ca/chemicalguys-canada/chemical-guys-5050-limited-series-paste-wax-8oz 2
ScottsGT Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 I used carnuba wax at one time. No where near as good as the HydroSilex I mentioned earlier. Carnuba was a great product in its day. But modern chemistry has made it old news. 3

Martinnfb Posted March 3, 2019 Author Posted March 3, 2019 I am glad to help, here is one shop from Edmonton. https://www.autoobsessed.com
Bomber_County Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 I think Jeff is excited, all we get this side of the dyke is Autoglym or Meguiars. I’m sure there are others but rarely see them...... 4
ScottsGT Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Can you get Griot’s? Good stuff too. I use a a lot of McGuires polishes. 2
Bomber_County Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Never seen Griot’s and never used Meguiars..........we just get pretty sh###ty brands here..... 3
BlrwestSiR Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Hey Martin, I know you're putting the Mustang away for the winter but have you seen these guys? Check out the video too. The rally cars completely look at home on the snow. https://jalopnik.com/now-presenting-supercars-on-ice-1833019877 Carl 2
Martinnfb Posted March 3, 2019 Author Posted March 3, 2019 That's a pretty cool way how to hone your skills. Thanks for sharing Carl. 3
BlrwestSiR Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I love the fact that these owners are out using their cars and not keeping them in little plastic bubbles. 3

I’m sure there are others but rarely see them...... Yeah, Phil you're right, I am excited, we have such silly import rules, and some of the items that "Carzilla' has in stock are a lot of the products that are difficult to import into this country from the USA, and their prices seem to be reasonable, considering money exchange, the mega shipping costs ( we are on the same rock, but sometime I think I'm paying to have stuff shipped to the dark side of the moon !!) import duties and fees, as well as 'brokerage' fees, which to me is just another money grab..... I can fill out papers, I don't need to pay someone to do it for me................... sorry, I digress.................. I have had EXCELLENT results with Meguaires products, we show our Corvettes, and I have come away with top scores for them at times......and the Autoglym stuff is available here and is good stuff as well.... I have some of their bird poop wipes, and they work like a charm as does the bug guts removal stuff, a local detail guy is from the UK, and he swears by ( not 'at') Autoglym.... so yeah, in a nutshell, I am very excited, you read me will Phil... some days I do feel like we are living on some sort of other planet when it comes to accessing top quality items..... 3
Members Mikester Posted March 7, 2019 Members Posted March 7, 2019 So many awesome rides! I finally won an 18 month battle with Uncle Sam on my pay and am happy to say that I'll be able to work another ride into my budget in April. I bleed Ford blue (not RLM 76 as previously reported ) and am a HUGE Mustang fanatic so I'll be adding a 2011-2014 'Stang to my stable in a couple of months. 5
Martinnfb Posted March 7, 2019 Author Posted March 7, 2019 Nicey, I didn't know that Mike. Any particular trim, colour that you have in mind. Boss 302 perhaps? 2

Martinnfb Posted March 7, 2019 Author Posted March 7, 2019 He he , thanks Jeff. Here is my buddie's California Special GT, just a little teaser for Mike 4
Jeff Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 NICE rides !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! black is so nice, but holy a dog to keep clean, I had a black '86 IROC Camaro, and hand washed and dried, took it for a short spin, hand wash and dried then parked it till next time..... it always looked good, but I spent more time washing it than driving it................black is so sexy though.... 2

Boss 302 perhaps? Martin, I would love a Boss 302 but that's a little North of my budget. A California Special would be nice but they're not real common. Not set on any particular color, although I'm partial to white and dark metallic gray (same color as our Explorer). Of course a manual transmission is a must! 3
Ryan Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Hey guys back on the ceramic coating, my wife doesn't really know too much about it to give a recommendation. 3

Thanks Ryan, after much deliberation and researching , I think I'm going to go with a real good coat of high end carnauba paste wax, my friend at the detail shop said he would put a real good base coat on and then I know it would be done completely and correctly, and I can take it from there..... thanks for asking the Mrs. I'm still not 100% certain about the ceramic stuff, you can get stuff for $16 bucks right up to $300, and there is nothing out there that says the expensive stuff is any good, and there is SO much contradictory information out there, I think I will pass for now... and it still requires 'maintenance', so does a good quality wax.... so ...... the jusry is still out as they say.... thanks for asking .... 2
Martinnfb Posted March 8, 2019 Author Posted March 8, 2019 Hi Jeff, I didn't make it to Carzilla yet, but in the meanwhile I ordered this up on Evilbay https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Chemical-Guys-HOL-101-JetSeal-109-5050-Paste-Wax-Ultimate-Shine-Protect/182298446652?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 2

Good catch Martin.... 2
ScottsGT Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Ooohhhh. Chemical Guys good stuff! I use their Leather and New Car smell sprays and their buffing pads. It comes on strong at first, but then settles down into a great scent. 3
Martinnfb Posted March 9, 2019 Author Posted March 9, 2019 Thanks for the heads up Scott, I was actually thinking about some product for leather. Also do you guys have any good suggestion for ABS trim conditioner ? 2
