Since we currently have a water ban (Due to town not replacing leaking water lines) I thought thats what my taxes were for? .........:argue I was excited to try a line of products that doesn't need the old wash buckets and hose.
My Wife has a 2009 Lexus IS 250 AWD that desperately need a thorough cleaning. (I didnt have a chance to polish or protect with the HD POXY, thats coming later this week)
Here is the car before.
First step was washing with the HD Free. Cleans VERY well, leaves a great slick shine and smells great! I didn't see any marring from the crud that was stuck to the car. Since the car is a dark metallic gray, I was extra careful when wiping.I probably used more product then I really needed to, but wanted to be safe. I wipes streak free as long as you wipe it before it dries. Here is a 50/50 shot.
Once the paint was clean I moved to the tires and wheels.
I used the HD Total. Man does this stuff clean! Its my favorite!
Wheels before and after. I did use a long handled brush to aggitate.
I dressed with the HD GEL. Great product thats leaves a clean black shine that isn't to glossy (I did wipe off after 5 minutes)
Now on to the interior.....
The HD TOTAL cleaned the nasty floor-mats with just a little agitation using a stiff brush
Nothing the HD TOTAL couldn't handle.
HD TOTAL is a fantastic cleaner, it cleaned all the plastic and leather surfaces and left a nice clean matte finish with no streaks. (I used HD FREE on the NAV screen and wood trim)
Some spilled coffee on the door leather
Agitated with the HD interior DUO PAD (white side) Nice soapy action that wipes off with no residue!
I treated all the leather and other surfaces with the HD PROTECT using the red side of the DUOPAD.
Wipes on and buffs off leaving a natural look to all surfaces.
Now on to the tail pipes using the HD METAL. Thanks to Obama we are getting our state roads re surfaced..... I think my Wife's car had 5 lb. of loose tar on it, including the tailpipes!
I pre cleaned with HD TOTAL then polished with the HD METAL. They came out great. Polish is very similar to wurth polish. Very creamy but wipes off easy.
Those are the products I used shown in the back up camera.
HD FREE
Pros:
Smells great
Cleans VERY well
Leaves a nice slick feel
Great shine
No water wasted
Cons:
maybe I used to much but it took me a 1/4 of the bottle to wipe the car down.
Would buy again 4/5
HD TOTAL
Pros:
Cleans everything
No need to rinse with water
Cons
Again I think I used to much as 1/2 the bottle is gone.
Would buy again
5/5
HD PROTECT
Pros:
Smells great once dried
Leaves a natural look to leather
Can control how much shine wanted by wiping or leaving dry.
A little goes a long way
Not slippery on seats
Cons:
Nothing
Will buy again if I ever run out.
5/5
HD GEL
Pros:
Great look
easy application
Cons:
None yet
I don't know how it will hold up so I cant comment on durability
Would buy again
4/5
DUOPADS
Pros:
Great cleaning action and pretty stiff.
cleans on one side and protects with the other
Cons:
To big for some areas (I guess I could cut a small piece off for tight areas)
Don't think I will need to buy another set as these feel like they will last.
4/5
HD METAL
Pros:
Easy wipe on and wipe off
Great polishing action
Cons
None
Would buy again if needed
5/5
