CG Bare Bones

For those of you that use this product, what's the best way to apply this?

I don't have a lot of room to get brushes into my fenders, so application is a little difficult.

I tried first cleaning with an APC and then spreading BB with a microfiber. The look the next day was less than desirable. There was some white streaking....perhaps the APC hadnt been completely whiped off. I tried just spraying straight onto the wells and not rubbing and it worked great. A deep dark lasting shine, but....i feel like I used a lot of product to cover all four wells and the product isnt exactly cheap to be using so liberally.

Tips...tricks?

 

Only tip I have (and it's going to sound VERY stupid) is to turn your steering wheel so you've got more room to cover the front wheels wells. For the rear I just spray the product directly into the wells. There's NO way I'm getting a hand or brush to clear my rear tires and the car hasn't been lowered.

 

Really the only way to apply it is as you did the second time. Just spray and walk away. You are right it uses about 4 oz per car but the look is great. One of those things you just have to bite the bullet and do if you want the best look. I have found that Megs Detailers Line All Season Dressing gives pretty much the same look for less money and you apply it the same way.

 

I bought a gallon of it and only use it on the vehicles I detail, never my own, since I have two 4x4 truck/SUVs.

You do use quite a bit of it, but I spray as I move from side to side, a thin layer will prevent the product from dripping.

 

I use Adams Undercarriage which is similar and spaying a fine mist provides good coverage and yields great results.

As you have already noted, I do not think you can spray it on an applicator to apply.

 

After spraying I spread it with a GS to cover all areas.

 

Whatever you do, do NOT use one of the high volume sprayers that you can get from USPlastics. If you do, say goodbye to a lot of product just from doing 4 wheel wells. I also second turning your front wheels with the steering wheel.

 

:gasp: Did you learn that one the hard way?

 

:nod:

That's why I got the F2B and Silk Shine from ya!

 

Um this may sound like a silly idea but if you have an extra E-Z Detail Brush, you could try spraying that and swiping it in there. You could probably get pretty good coverage with that.

 

Heh, he called me right before I poured mine into the sprayer to tell me not to. Whew.:gasp:

 

Does anybody know if Bare Bones has silicone in it?

 

I would just jack the car up with a bottle or service jack to enable a thorough cleansing and wipedown of the wells.

 

Fine mist is the key IMO
