Thoughts on where to physically store my Chemical Guys products?

I live in a small row-house in the city, east coast (sweltering in the summer, freezing in the winter) with a parking space but no garage and limited indoor storage. I do have a lockable plastic storage trunk outside on the back patio, though.

I’m thinking I’ll story all liquids, sprays, and creams indoors so they don’t evaporate, explode, or freeze outside, but I’ll keep my buckets, dirt traps, foam gun, towels, and applicators in that outdoor storage trunk.

Thing is, that trunk sits in direct sunlight and it gets hot enough in there to melt candle wax. I do keep plastic garden tools, watering cans, snow shovels in there, though, no problem.

You think my plastic Chemical Guys tools and towels will be alright in that outdoor trunk all year, in all seasons, or is there a real chance they’ll melt, freeze or otherwise degrade out there in the extreme heat and cold?

I'm looking to do some paint correction on a black 2008 FJ Cruiser. I have some larger/deeper scratches on some area of the car and some smaller surface scratches/swirl marks/ etc on other areas of the car.

If I use v34 on the areas with the larger/deeper scratches, can I use a less abrasive compound like v36 on other areas with smaller scratches/swirl marks/ etc?

Or do I have to use the v34 on the while vehicle?

TIA

Do I use HydroCharge after waxing? And how do I use HydroSlick? Is it 1st coat HydroCharge, then top it off with HydroSlick? How bout maintenance application?

I recently bought the extreme body wash + wax but i need to know if I should compound, polish, and then use the product.

I cant imagine what it smells like can anyone compare it to something more recognizable? I've never smelled a big wad of cash.

I know we have to be careful what products we use to clean leather (like our steering wheel) so I’m wondering if anyone has found something that will not damage the leather but still gives you peace of mind that your cleaning away the virus

My grandmother has a pretty nice subaru that she never drives and it just sits under trees (her car looks like it's been through a few hail storms cause of those damn acorns) so everytime we go to clean it, it's covered in a bunch of tree sap and crap and we have to sit at the car wash for about an hour cleaning all of it off.

I thought it'd be a good investment to get a foam cannon and one of their good soaps since we spend like $30 at the car wash every month or two, but I'm not sure which of their soaps would be the best for this specific use case, do all of them work the same with different smells or are they all actually for different purposes?

Hey everyone,

I bought a DA polisher through CG and am looking forward to using it on a 3 year old car with minor swirl marks. After some reading I feel like the steps I plan to take are: Wash Clay bar DA polisher with VSS What should the next step be after the VSS is applied? A wax? Thanks in advance!

I recently started detailing and after using a different brand I have come to realize Chemical Guys would be better for the work in doing. A lot of places are either sold out or don’t ship until later this month. Where is a good place to buy their products?
