    Guess My Trim Wasn't Tight!

    I was going to apply some of my Gyeon Trim to my car's plastic today. I guess I didn't store it in an airtight environment!

    (I guess that should remove any doubt as to the silica content!)

    Wow that’s a trip. How many times did you get to use it?
    This is why I’ve been so hesitant on opening my bottle of McKees Headlight Coating, I’d be upset if I only got to use it once then something like that happened to it. $60 bucks for 1 use ain’t cheap! Lol.

    Surprised you left the dropper in there instead of using the original cap. I put the original cap back on mine and over a year it still has not hardened within the bottle.

    Re: Guess My Trim Wasn't Tight!

    The dropper is the reason.

    I've actually had it since last summer and have used it on a few cars. I usually recap with the original and store in my house in drawer, but for some reason I didn't recap this time.

    I found that most of my coatings last well over a year when stored in this manner. Alas, not with this bottle.

    Oh well.

    I wonder if I can reconstitute it with some petroleum products and then use on some other surface? Hmmm

    And now you know why they call it "quartz".

    Take those bits, polish them up and mount them in a nice ring for your wife.

    Ok, I'll admit the thread title was misleading...............


    But, that's pretty interesting to see.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
