    Same here. I even PM'd Admins.

    Nothing.

    This forum is completely abandoned by anyone at AutoGeek.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Re: Getting the annual polish in while on baby's time.

    Got both sides done this weekend. Only the rear bumper cover remains. I should be able to finish this week and then next weekend put a coat of 915 in the entire car. Going forward this summer should be simple maintenance washes or rinseless wipe-downs. Ideally.

    Re: Getting the annual polish in while on baby's time.

    Still too cold for my yearly polish but i have been getting used to rinseless washes, finally. Lots of waterspots from cancoat that's for sure - but i've experienced waterspots with all LSP's. Not sure if it's cancoat or I'm just noticing more and more...lol Breakout carpro's spotless this week after having it for months.

    I was going to just layer over cancoat - its about 6 or 7 mths old - but the waterspots are annoying me i will just go ahead and use my new cordless polisher. Shouldn't take long on the horizontal panels, they get the most love.

    Spotting on coatings is why I gave up on them. I just never had luck with them through the winters. I still blame the harsh liquid deicers they use heavily on freeways here. The spotting never simply removed with chemicals(tried Carpros and Optimums water spot removers, no luck) either, and in both cases I found myself polishing the coatings off to get a nice clearcoat once more. Hence back to "wax" for me. IF it spots and I need to remove it, that is less painful than the same scenario with a coating that took me longer to install. Good luck removing those spots!

    Yeah maybe it's not a coincidence. The car is peppered in waterspots, i can't say i ever noticed so many...

    Re: Getting the annual polish in while on baby's time.

    DONE

    Top coat of No. 915 went on yesterday, finished around 9PM. Using a machine sped the process up. Put a decent amount on a black Lake Country finishing pad and set speed to 1. Zipped across panel, waited one minute, and buffed off with a 500gsm edgeless towel. Feels good getting the annual spa treatment done despite hurdles and other responsibilities. Next checkpoint will be October when preparing for winter. With used car prices I suspect the GLI will see next winter. I'll do what I can to prepare. If it comes to that I will likely go back to Jescar Ultra Lock Plus the durability of that sealant is wild and when I lived the apartment life it treated my neglected car good. Hopefully it won't come to that!
