Default One Grand E.R.V. Dressing...best on the market!

I gave this stuff a try after seeing it on Car Care Online. Larry recommends it and I can see why. It gives a low gloss sheen and doesn't leave tires looking artificially shiny. I loved it so much, I bought a gallon!

Default I like ERV but it is one of the least durable dressings.

I use ERV or 303 in the summer and Black Opal in the winter. Z16 is supposedly very good but I have not tried it yet.

Default That's exactly what I did. That was 8 months ago, and I still have more than 1/2 of the gallon left

And I use it once a week minimum on two cars. Stuff goes a long way.

Tried 303, didn't last as long or look as good as ERV. 303 is safe to use tho

Default Their clear pearl instant wax spray is great, too! I like it better than Meguiar's or Eagle One

But it is a bit pricier. Well worth it IMO since it does contain some carnauba wax in the solution. Great stuff!

Default Is it a light liquid spray wax (which I don't really use as it doesn't last very long) or is it a

hard spray wax (like Sonax Hard Motorcycle Wax) which is unavailable right now. If the latter, I'd love to know as this is supposed to be great stuff to use on your wheels.

Default Light spray wax, I guess... but it's more of a quick-detailing spray

In my experience, it is MUCH better than the Eagle One, Meguiar's, or Clay Magic quick detailing spray for giving your car a 5-minute detail. It has very high lubricity, making it easy to work with (and without fear of scratching my paint). In addition, the shine lasts for a long time, making it necessary to wash my car only once a month now.

As for Sonax Motorcycle Spray Wax, I'm looking for that stuff, too. I wish the EPA would just give it up!

Default If you're talking detailing sprays, I've used the Meguiars Final Inspection (same as Quick Detailer)

and also the One Grand Show Off. Really like the Show Off alot. Really helps to keep the car looking good, and is great for removing bird droppings; just spray it on, let it penetrate for a few moments, and VERY CAREFULLY remove.
