steelwind101 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hello Guys We have been discussing Surf City Garage here a bit recently and Wonder Detail has some of their line in his online shop. I have tested some of the SCG line before and some of it is new to me. Here is my order from him: SCG is a car museum of American Muscel Cars located in California. They maintain over 100 cars at Showcar level with there own products. I have been really impressed with everything so far. Im on my SECOND bottle of Hot Rod detailer, probably one of best QD's on the market. You have to take that with a pinch of salt b/c different QD's do different things, but this is certantly great between washes and for final wipe downs. It leaves a shine, UV protection and anti static protection . All of their products smell great, make sure you dont leave these in the bathroom though! The colours and smells could be mistaken for shower and bath products! Packaging is excellent and the sprayers are great. A really durable feel with a decent spray action. The Glass cleaner i have read nothing but praise for on the US forums. So im looking forward to using this. The Road Trip grime destoryer is gel type liquid. Smells like cough candy. Its basically a tar, bug and road grime remover. Spray on, rinse off. You would place this as a dedicated pre-cleaner more powerful then Snowfoam. Great pre-detailing, it does remove wax. A similar product would be P21s Total Autowash. Whats great about Surf city is that these are 24OZ bottles (710ml) yet are priced competivily with 16oz bottles. Kudos there, more for less on infrequently used products like Grime Remover and Glass cleaner is great. More product in regular use products like the QD is real plus point! Its a small but quite well formed product line. When the weather improves im going to be "terminating grime" as they say SCG and hopefully seeing out my windscreen . I also have the Shine On products and a small sample of Tyre Dressing (thanks Paul!). Any questions do feel free to ask. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Sounds good stuff -there seem to be so many QD's about now. I really struggle to get my head around the tacky cheap images / packaging used on american cleaning products. It makes them look very Mickey Mouse even though there are serious products. Clearkote is another prime example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant beat the PB's lables though, some laminate from woolies and cheapo laser printer. Does the job though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpellypo Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Geoff - glad you got your order OK! I first tested SCG last year, and the sample bottle actually came out on details with me, I was that impressed with it. I got in touch with SCG themselves to see if I could get their stuff in bulk to use myself as it would have cost a fortune to get it as and when needed. It was at that point I realised surely other people could benefit from this excellent product range, so I decided to offer it for sale! I'm going to have a play with the shine on today if it stops snowing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drpellypo Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Well the car is washed, but there's no chance of any shine on reviews as it's pelting down with snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
