My TID review


Len

Question

This is my 2003 Ram 1500.  The last time I cleaned the interior was in August of last year.  I drove this poor beast all winter, wearing work clothes, and smoking like a chimney.  This was my fist time using TID, I recieved the kit a few days ago and wanted to put it to the test. I used the LIC and LC on my Challenger shortly after I got it, and really like both products, but not neccesary for weekly maintenence. 

 

Some before shots - after vacuuming.  This thing was gross!

And after.  I ended up using some APC on the floor, it was really gross.  Finished with TID though, it looks good.  I have rubber floor mats that go on top, they need to be pressure washed first though.

Also used WW on the door jambs, CUC on the seats and headliner, and of course GC on the glass.  Very happy with the results.  I love the matte finish and I am impressed with the cleaning abilities.  I am also super impressed with the utility towels, they hold a ton of gunk and keep picking up more.  The detailing swabs are also pretty sweet, though a bit large to get everything...  Another, smaller size would be awesome.

Glad I got a gallon :D

 

Thanks for reading.

Len Great review man. They have smaller detailing sticks in the clearance section now, go get 'me.....cheap!

 

Thanks :)  Alas, Dexter has none of the clearance ones, and I imagine shipping them to Canada would be just silly.

 If the shafts are too long, just cut them down to the size you want.

 

Not the shafts, but the tips...  These are just too big for some of the crevices I encountered.

Looks like new, good job! :2thumbs:

 

I have yet to try TID as my G8 roo hide drinks up LC like no other, but it's holding the conditioner well now so I will be maintaining it with TID for the rest of the summer. Looking forward to seeing the results of the anti-static property as well.

One thing I've found with the TID is that if your interior has already been treated with Leather Conditioner, the TID will strip it. So I suggest using one or the other, or TID followed by Leather Conditioner, but don't use it after.

In that case a good rule of thumb would be condition all the soft leather like seats and door panels (where you want the material to absorb the product), and use the TID on the dashboard and hard plastic pieces that only need a coating.
