CarPro Ech02 diluted 10:1. You won't be disappointed!

Thanks Tim! You really only use this for light dusting on the surface, correct?

As a quick detailer, yes. However, you can also use this product for waterless or rinseless washes using different dilution ratios.

Very versatile and user friendly product!

I feel like someone mentioned a reload and water quick detailer solution...does anyone use that?

put it in a 16.9 oz bottle so- 1 oz ECH20, 3 Reload, 13 water (5/15/80%)

I use this 5/15/80 mix. It’s GREAT. Easy on/off and leaves a fantastic wet looking shine.

I use this if the car isn’t quite dusty enough to need a full Rinseless wash, just to remove any finger prints, light dust, give the paint a gloss boost etc.

So I am one of those guys that seams to love detailing cars and the amount of time it takes etc. Something about taking that rough paint and making it so smooth to touch and a deep gloss shine. Matte paints/wraps are ok, but I just love making a car shine! Was glad to see this thread as I am due for some new wax, but it did sort of get derailed. Currently using Meguires Gold Class Paste Wax, does leave a great shine, the only complaint is the powder residue on removal. Not the worst thing in the world, just takes a little extra time to get out of all the crevasses. I had never heard of Collinite til joining Camaro6. The Marque D'Elegance piques my interest..... But theres also the all the other names out there, 3M, Zymol, Pinnacle, Mothers, Turtle Wax, Eagle1, P21S, Adams, Griots Garage, Chemical Guys, Race Glaze (which is really a sealant, not Carnuba Wax), DoDo Juice and whatever oddball brand names I can come across when detail discussions come up. I also work for a dealership as a tech and we have a local supplier that Im pretty certain makes their own stuff. This is what I use as far as compounds and polishes, but have stuck with the Meguires Gold Class for waxing duties. www.cookautosupply.com

So I ended up purchasing some Dodo Juice Orange Crush and Pinnacle Souveran in their smaller containers to try out. Went with the Dodo Juice as I have a '16 Colorado in Inferno Orange. Just want to try it out and see if it makes a difference. Figured for $8 for the 30ml container, cant hurt to try it out. My wifes '11 Forester in Camellia Red Pearl will probably get both products to see if I can really tell a difference. Dodo Juice claims the Orange Crush and Banana Armor are great for "warm color" paints and the Pinnacle Souveran also says "Brilliant on Red". We'll see I guess, seems every brand has their die hard fans to claim "this is the best, hands down!" in the reviews. Personally, just excited to try some new, to me, products.

I have had that little orange crush container for 6 months. Wish I could try it but I coated my car shortly after purchase. Doh! Curious to see how you like it (and pics!)

GrimReaperSS · 04-07-2018, 03:16 PM

Ill definitely post my thoughts on results for sure. If I can figure how to post pics from my Android phone, I will.

GrimReaperSS · 04-07-2018, 03:31 PM

Every time I go to Cars n Coffee West Palm Beach, people want to know how I did it and how the hell do I maintain it!!

Everything is done by hand. I have found that using superior rags and applicators reduce time and scratches!
