LG is brilliant stuff. Try their LG Legend if you get the chance. Best used in conjunction with their car wash. There is no comparison with Nu Finish. NF is "ordinary" (not bad, not good, just ordinary).

In Australia, at least for Retail customers, AMSoil is easily sourced and cost effective (around $60 per US gallon). I use 5w30 HDD exclusively in all my vehicles and have had great results. It is closer to a 5w40 in reality. Delvac 1, on the other hand, is very difficult to source for Retail...

Black WOW is only for the exterior. Expensive but a little goes a long way. Other thn that try Carpro PERL. Not cheap either but lasts nd lasts.

Black WOW is the shizzle

Haven't tried that particular product but other Surf City products I have tried have been ordinary at best.

I have used AMSoil HDD 5W30 in 2 Lexus RX350's and in my SC430 for several years now and will not entertain using anything else. UOA's have been stunning although I only run short change intervals 6 months as my driving environment meets the severe service requirements. I live in Sydney...

Spray Detailers are fine for use in between washes. Cling is ok but not the greatest example I have found. It does the trick although it requires a little more effort. These aren't spray waxes or sealants and are only designed to remove light dirt etc.

Just use Peanut Butter

Originally Posted By: dishdude Dexos supersedes all previous GM oil specs, so you are good to go! Agree. It's a GM Approved Oil, used by a GM Dealer. What's the problem? There are multiple brands of oils that meet the Dexos spec. Mobil 1 is only one of them.

Thanks everyone. I have decided to go with the Rotella

I would use Einszett before Dupont or Wurth! Likely it is Sonax.

Dumb question. I am an affirmed AMSoil Series 3000 HDEO user however here in Oz the prices for AMSoil are outrageous (around A$80 per US Gallon). My current vehicles can run either 5W30 or 5W40 and only require annual oil changes however I change out my oil and filters every 6 months. I have...
