    Re: Show us your pet.

    When we first got our 2nd rescue, Mocha, she got loose and took us hours to find her. The 1st few times, and the longest to find her was right out...

    Re: Roll Call! Who drives a MANUAL transmission?

    I wish I had manual drive vehicles. I grew up driving them, and almost always had one. When I got my 1st automatic I was instantly bored with it, and found out really fast they were not as fun LOL!...
  3. Re: When it pays to have your significant other be a "car person"

    I'm thinking that is what he does as well. I kinda do the same thing, clean one up, and drive the other. I'm sure my wife would give me the stink eye if I told her not to drive it! That would make...

    This thread sounds like my wife and I with me being the car guy. She appreciates driving her "clean" vehicle, which can be either of the 2 we currently have. But she also thinks I spend too much...

    Quick question for you. I was wanting to try out Wolfgang to correct a used car I'm getting that needs some serious love. Which one did you get to remove scratches and swirls? I see they have the...

    That only applies Kalamazoo public schools, and we are in Portage schools. But yes, they still get that perk.

    What BudgetPlan said.

    I had CQuartz UK 3.0 on, and polishing removed it, of course that was my intent LOL!

    Ya, that's actually how I do it. I have 2 vehicles that have a low and curvy front end spoiler, areas around the hoods, trunks, and then of course my vinyl on one to work around. It's no big deal...

    Re: Most regretted detailing product purchase

    I got to thinking about how I did it, and I waited an hour, actually a little over, and then applied the second coat. Not sure why I said I waited 24 hours for the second coat.

    I waited as long...

    From what I had read it didn't matter when it was applied as long as it was after the 24 cure period of the last application. I don't know maybe I did it wrong. There were so many different answers...

    Very true, I remember even in the 90's the info wasn't readily available, or maybe it was and I didn't try very hard. I do remember trying every single product out trying to get that wet...

    I could have easily fit in the 15 years of doing the wrong thing category. Only in the last 10 years have I been making strides in relearning and bettering my technique as time goes on.

    Re: Vinyl graphics and polishing

    Ok, thanks for the info!

    I do the same with with a microfiber to get in the areas I can't get into with the polisher. So for now, I'll continue using what I have till I upgrade the Porter.

    Re: Vinyl graphics and polishing

    Someone mentioned Mckee's for the matte finish I have. Although I haven't looked it up to see if protects or just cleans, I'm hoping a bit of both.

    Re: Vinyl graphics and polishing

    So I am done with it, except for a second coat of the sealant tomorrow. It went well, although because I didn't have tape or 1" pads, I had to be careful around the graphics.

    It sounds like you are well on your way to knowing what needs to be done. And also sounds like you have a lot of the tools already to get started.

    Ignore most of this, I just went ahead and got one of everything, it's not like they are very expensive. So I'm good to go for anything that I do now. [emoji41]
