+1 for the OG Drying aid, that stuff is great.

I will add for anyone interested, what I like about the Obsessed Garage drying aid.

It does not have any scent or color added to it. It does not leave any build up after multiple uses like I have experienced with Beadmaker and Dream Maker to cause streaks. The gloss level and slickness are amazing! I bought the $110 1-gallon kit, and this will probably last 2 years or more with regular use, you don’t need much per application.

I won’t use anything else on my CarPro UK 3.0 coating, except for CarPro Reload every 2-3 months.

I have been following the OG philosophy for rinseless washes and maintenance and the results are awesome. There are so many detailing products on the market it’s crazy, and you can waste a lot of money on marketing hype. I like OG’s keep it simple with a few basic products approach, and it works great for me.

Big follower of OG as well. Always interested in hearing feedback from people other than Matt. I will report back with my take on it.

Shipping costs like this drive me nuts. It would be a deal breaker just on principle.

My company ships a high volume of parcel packages and truck LTL shipments every day. Shipping rates right now are outrageous across the board even with a good discount for shipping volume. The added fuel charges alone are pushing this country to the brink. We get price increases added to our rates almost daily.

Not sure how we can sustain these levels long term as it makes people refrain from buying and ultimately slowing our economy.

Yeah the non member shipping is ridiculously high. I only started buying there when I decided to get one of the kranzle packages a few months back, paid to join for the 10% discount and free shipping. Have since spent about 3-4k there, so was totally worth it. Their drying aid and decon soap are top notch.

Finally was able to get all that salt off. On the flip side, I brought my leaf blower with me today to piss off the tech that has an issue with me washing my car

Also used Technicians' choice ceramic spray. My detailer recommended that to me. He said it won't cause streaks as Mothers spray wax did. Let's see how well it works

My biggest complaint about OG products is the shipping costs. I personally learn all I can from the OG FB Group and if it is a non-OG product, I get it from Amazon. It is always cheaper and free shipping. I get they aren't Amazon, but I am not as loyal to Matt as all the other yahoo members. There is too much arrogance in their business model.

I still haven't ordered it, I will when we get closer to spring when I will actually use it.

I’ve seen some of this guys YouTube videos. Has he had a lobotomy done? He’s like a robot, not a fan. I can’t stand his Canadian BRO either, Pan, ey?

How do you guys get rid of dust in the interior? I wiped the interior down yesterday when I cleaned the exterior and it's all dusty

I've been using Nextzett Cockpit Premium interior detailer that works really well overall. It's got anti-static properties. It doesn't stop it from coming back but slows it down. Smells good too.

Maybe it's the MF I use? I just use a damp MF to wipe the interior. I can see the dust on the piano black trim.

I literally drive around with a korean micro fiber cloth on my passenger seat and wipe it down constantly, especially the piano black trim.

I got this sticky jelly-like ball for christmas that is supposed to eat dust and get in the nooks and crannies of the car. I haven't tried it yet.
