My wife kept watching prices and as she got close to retirement we bought a condo so she could spend her winters here
She has horrific arthritis and winter is a nightmare for her
After we got flooded out in our condo by a neighbor we renovated it and sold it and bought a house in 2018
We sold out of Alaska last fall and Molokai is home now
Congrats on your new home. They call Molokai the "Friendly Isle" for a reason. Good luck on your new life.

Better the n-914? Have you used it on coated cars for maintenance?
I’m not worried about it masking a coating as I believe protection is too light.

Not to hijack this thread, but yes it’s much better than N914. When combined with fuzion as pre treatment. GAME OVER

Re: Mess Left After Tinting
I've watched videos of tint installation many times, and I'm always surprised at how much liquid ends up getting sprayed everywhere inside the car. I know that car doors and components (electrical or not) are probably designed to handle this - think of having to roll the window down when it rains - but it still irks me every time I see it.
When I got my windows tinted I wondered how well the mess would get cleaned up. I just assumed that the clean-up is part of the deal...after all, imagine being the owner of a $100K+ car and getting it back with streaks or stains. No way, right? I went back a month ago to have my windshield tinted and included a towel on the dash as a courtesy. The dash has some hard-to-reach places so I really didn't feel like having to clean anything myself after, which is why I included my own towel. The doors I can manage, the dash...not so much.
That really stinks, sorry to hear about your situation. Hopefully you can find something to do the trick. Ever consider steaming it out?

Seriously, you would expect a courtesy cleanup
They even had me sign a waiver since they remove the door panels to be able to run the tint down below the level of the interior "wipe strip"
They even left off a trim piece from behind the passenger door handle assembly
My wife found it down in the recess of the arm rest later on
If you take the door panels off how come it looks like 3 year olds finger painted with pudding?
I don't get it...

I have been thinking of N-914 to replace ONR for pre correction wash since there are no polymers to get in the way of correction
Any thoughts on the Wipeout vs N-914 in that use?

If your going to paint correct, I wouldn't worry about the polymers in a soap. I would definitely use something like N-914 or Reset after polishing and before coating.

I like N914 much more than ONR. N914 has been my go to rinseless since I started hoarding my D114. That’s another subject altogether but I digress. Wipeout just cleans amazingly well. If you have a choice between both, wipeout is better. N914 is good but it’s moved down a notch for me lately.
