Amazon Amazon

The bottle above has some hash marks on the side for easy dilution ratios.....if there's a local Chemical Guys outlet around you, I got 3 for 9 bucks at the brick and mortar location

I use it at 1:10 for both a wash and a detailer, i think it would be easier to work with as a detailer if I diluted it more, but even at 1:10 it buffs out really nice and adds just a little bit of sparkle, you'll really like the result

5 coats, brother, you have to bring some pics when she's done....it's gonna look like you dipped it in acrylic

Thank for the info, I will give it a try, it should be good for keeping the bike glossy and dust free between washes.

I have a new bottle of the ech2o, but if I feel the need to try something different, I will give the Chemical Guys product a try.
And I will post up some pics as soon as I can when I get it back. I'm no photographer, so I don't know if my pics will do it justice.

I hadn't clicked on the link, I usually click on links when I'm using my phone, so I can bookmark it for later use. I'm on my work computer during lunch, so I don't click on links for obvious reasons! I will definitely click the link later and check it out.

I picked up my bike today. Hot damn, it came out absolutely gorgeous! The pictures don’t do it justice, there is so much depth and gloss in the paint.
