Anyone remember the Universal glaze in the late 70s to 84 ? Pro only stuff It sold used cars like crazy ...but was not useable in hot weather wouldn't gel above 87 , salesmen didn't try to sell cars then cause they could get more when it came back . It had horse hoof s in it so outlawed

To me makes sense to use good products, especially if you have done the full frame off resto. And so to use good paint and paint and wheel protectants is the icing on the cake.
Newest product is graphene. It is like ceramic coating but easier to apply and as durable.

The Turtle Wax, 303 and Invisible Glass products are great for the average Roadster, and are budget friendly.The higher end products can be pricey.

I was getting low on the McGuire's Car wash, so based on the reviews I bought the small bottle of Adam's. I will give it a go tomorrow, not that I'm expecting much from just Shampoo for the car.

I just tried the Chemical Guys VRB tire dressing available at Pep Boys, on my other car and it looks good. You can use it on Vinyl Rubber and Plastic, so on the interior as well.
