Rainy morning here in Rochester. Drove about 8 miles to work in the pouring rain and going through deep puddles with rain splashing up to the side windows. Car was washed 3 days ago so it was still...

Is it necessary to rub in IronX or will it be okay to just spray on and let dwell for a couple minutes?

:xyxthumbs: found last night and its bookmarked! Thanks Mike!

Reliability was a factor. I did not like the new rav4. Have a 2008 rav4 in the household and they still drive/ ride just as bad. Not impressed with that car at all.

The escape pleasantly...

Hello Everyone!
Been a long time since I've been active on here. (Still kept up on reading though) Haven't had much free time lately between work and finishing up grad school.

But I've sold my...

I wouldn't trust anything from anyone who would put a heap of plastic (or metal?) on paint like that...

The trunk organizer would be so useful since this is my current set up! Being in college, its difficult to store detailing supplies so I keep what I have room for organized like this in my trunk.

Make sure what you're trying to sync are using the same appleID. I know when I got MobileMe it made me make a new ID so I have two and am slowly trying to transition to one

Cool tip on the microwave! I'll have to give it a try :props:

I think I will just leave it. It's a daily driver so it won't ever be perfect- especially since its black. Wouldn't want to jeopardize the coating at all.

I have OC on my trim...haven't had to dress it since applied in November and it still looks great.

Just noticed this too...they completed another pre delivery inspection in january of '11. I bought the car in April '11. Do they do those when the car first arrives to the dealer? Here is a screen...

Yeah, I called the dealer to ask about it and they said it was probably a typo but they can't control it- I would have to call carfax to get it fixed. I'm not really worrying about it since I lease...

Just checked and it's the same. Wouldn't that have been something? No one noticing that until over a year later LOL

There is light swirling in the coating and a few bug marks I must not have taken care of timely. I would rather not clay so I don't risk marring anything.

Given that Opti-Coat is harder than factory clear coats for the most part, how is the polishing ability by hand? I would suspect it to be difficult to achieve decent results by hand if it's supposed...

Yeah the only reason I could see it was because a dealer (the one I purchased the car from) offers it for free for some reason. Everything seems normal for the most part except that it was "Offered...

Anyone ever google their VIN number to either see what their old car was up to or what their current car's results are?

Well I searched the VIN for my Jetta and the dealer I purchased it from is...

I'm sure many have realized this but for those who haven't had this happen to them...

Be cautious of leaving all weather floor mats on grass on extremely hot days or this will happen....

awesome job and great write up! did you take any readings of how much clear coat was left before and afterwards by any chance?

I have the beige seating in mine and use poorboys leather stuff. I dont seem to have any fading on mine.

If nothing seems to solve your problem...here is a solution:

We can trade cars untill the new car smell is gone and new leather smell has worn down. I have lost about the last bit of new car...

I have used the guzzler and also the cobra 600's and like both. When doing a rinseless, I like to do a pass with a wet gold jr. cobra then finish off with the cobra 600. I just ordered some 600s on...

Tonight my girlfriend is picking up her new car. I told them not to even touch the exterior or remove plastic. It came off the truck like 4 days ago and only has 1 mile! The salesman said that's...

While I did not opti coat my car myself I do have it applied to my black 2011 Jetta and I can tell you the paint is extremely soft.

Sorry I can't help with prep product because I did not prep my...
