3 BEST products!!

I have seen that Lexol, CG, and 303 aerospace protectant are the best products for your car. Now I have been looking and there are various types for each brand. What one do I choose?! thanksss.

Re: 3 BEST products!!

I'm not sure what various products you are referring to regarding Lexol and 303. I can tell you that I use Lexol Conditioner and Crystal Guard Quick. What other variation of 303 is there?

303 makes a cleaner and a protectant. The one that people talk about is the protectant. The cleaner is very concentrated and shouldn't be necessary unless the parts are really grimy and other things don't work.

Lexol makes a cleaner and a conditioner. If you're only planning to use the conditioner once every few months you can use the cleaner before putting the conditioner on (always put the conditioner on if you've used the cleaner), but if you're using the conditioner often you probably don't need to use the cleaner every time.

Plus CG makes you go faster. Your car is cleaner so there is not as much dirt and the surface of the car is really smooth, so there is less drag. CG will improve quarter mile times by about .2 or .3.

Re: 3 BEST products!!

The color is ivory. The paint type is pearl (instead of metallic).
The color would be garnet.. as in a deep red.
Infiniti makes Emerald Mist, although they discontinued it when they brought back Twilight Blue. I thought it was kind of a funky green at first, but I've seen a few of them around, and it kind of grows on you.

Fire isn't so much a color as it is a feeling... kinda like the one you get in your gut after too many burritos.

Four Star (previously Platinum) for my leather. This stuff is great and smells good as well, Four Star Ultimate Leather Cleaner Gel-Four Star Ultimate Leather Conditioner

And for everything else and I mean everything.. nothing beats 303 Protectant..

Re: 3 BEST products!!

nuttyprof... i do my console with the damp microfiber cloth that i used to spread and wipe the CG on the exterior. just wipe it on, wait, and wipe off, just like the other parts. haha, it doesn't make it shiny, but i'm under the impression that it protects it somewhat. i got the tip from the other CG fanatics on this board. happy CG-ing!
