I used Griot's interior cleaner 1x and griots vinyl and rubber treatement 2x. It took 2 times to get the car to evenly absorb the treatment. This thing has never been treated ever. Anyone who complains about cracking or whatever needs to not and just treat the hell out of it from day one. I was amazed at how thirsty the surface was for some sort of protection. The car looks completely different now, the way it should be actually. Scary to think how raw it was before I treated everything.

Oh, a tip: Plexus on chromeline interior and clear gauges and tiny spots like stereo read outs. Did it twice and the interior pieces now completely resist dust and grime and look fantastic. Needs to be applied with a MF towel though, anything else didnt work that well for buffing/clarity.

Oh, by the way, rainX is a pain to put on It took like 20 mins of buffing to get it all off the winshield to the point that there was no hint of smearing. The result is neat! It feels totaly frictionless. Fascinating stuff. I duno what I can clean the exterior window with now actually. I think I will just use car wash soap and water. Not sure if NXT window cleaner will slowly remove its finish or not. 1 bottle of rainx goes really far. I am tempted to do other windows, but there is little point of that I think?

 

you didn't try the Nero? you can get even treatment even with
one eye closed.

you can use some water to remove the haze on RainX.
rainx washes off with your blades in rain. it doesn't last
long. there's another product out there that actually
forms a chemical bond to glass. ill post the name if i
come across it again. Octaneguy, do you know which
product im referring to? (it's not griots or prima)

 

Kenchan- Is it Aquapel? Saw something about it on the Tirerack site.

 

Yeah, aquapel. I reviewed it here.

 

that's it! this is suppose to be for the OTBWD club.

 

Only if you let the whole thing dry at once. Your supposed to do small sections, let it dry and immediately buff out.

If you did an entire window, thats your problem

 

hmm sounds good enough to try

 

I find claying the windsheild really helps to keep the glass from streaking.

um, im always happy to hear you post replies to me. hm.

 

he posts like that to everyone, so don't worry about it.
just tell him to ask his wife to throw in more vitamines in his chows.

 

Nope, but glad you figured it out.

As far as RainX goes, their towlettes are convenient and easy to use for application. Never had any issues with it.

I too was sort of amazed at how "dried-out" the interior looks brand-new. A good dose of Nero solved the problem, but seriously, it literally looked dried out!

 

glad you tried and like the Nero. it's great stuff.

i used it on my legacy and civic as well. both are better looking
than when new.
