It really is a beautiful car in silver when the wheels are clean.

Done with the Dawn. No wax on that car anymore. Now to HD Cleanse and finally, Pinnacle Wax. Only two more hours to go!

Default I know, I know.

Cleaned mine this morning. Spotless. Drove into town. Two miles, maybe. They're beginning to look grey. By tomorrow night they'll be darker yet. By Monday black again.

By the way, 'Black Again' the stuff you put on black trim and is activated by the sun's UV rays is a great product. It really works.

Maybe Michael Jackson should take a look at it. Just kidding!!!!!

Ivan - I tried the Zymol clay bar for the first time. Good stuff, and actually easier than the HD.

Default And...I'm...Done! The HD Cleanse is the hardest part but I think

it is the most important. If it takes off hard water spots, then think about what else must be coming off!

I am a believer in using up what I have unless it completely does not work as advertised. I tried really hard to use a lot of HD Cleanse (it says "Apply liberally" on the bottle) but I still have one application left. Maybe if I put it in chocolate fondue nobody would notice. For the record, this was the third time I HD cleansed the TT, so it lasts 4 times, evidently.

I absolutely love the smell of the Pinnacle Paste Glaz. My carport now smells like it. My TT is a giant German air freshener!

Ellen I have the 3M claybar and have used it a little on a neighbor's 1994 Jeep Cherokee. I understand that all clay bar's are licensed from the patent holder, so they are very similar.

Start to finish, 1:00pm to 6:00 pm with two TT forum breaks and some boiled hot dogs for lunch. It's a nice way to spend a day.

Is HD cleanse the Z equivalent of Pinnacle Paint Cleanser?
