  1. Re: Best way to protect aftermarket chrome wheels

    Are you positive about that? I couldn't find anything online for those wheels that confirm they are old school PLATED chrome.

    Seeing as in todays age, chrome plating is more expensive, more...

    Re: Megs hybrid ceramic wash & wax

    When experimenting with the old Megs ceramic wash, I poured the si02 from the jug directly into a small spray bottle. With a *wet* MF towel, I would spray into the towel and then wipe the wheels with...

    Re: Megs hybrid ceramic wash & wax

    Have you tried the Armor All Extreme Shield Ceramic Wash? This new Meguiar's soap looks to be the same thing (more or less) but the Armor All is far cheaper. Its like $11 a bottle at Walmart.

    And...

    Stuff happens unfortunately. Nothing is perfect. Could be a bad batch you got? <shrugs shoulders>

    Re: Ceramic Coating - Maintenance Polish ?

    There are MANY variables that play a part in the longevity of a ceramic coating. But it should be no surprise that maintenance is the KEY. If the paint surface is not properly taken care of on a...

    Walmart near me has rollback prices on various detailing chemicals. Check your local stores.

    Re: Where to start with new truck...

    Are those water spots the result of rain drying on the paint?? Or are they from washing the vehicle in the sun and not towel drying fast enough?

    Re: Brown tires - can't fix

    Like I posted previously, the issue isn't TIRE CLEANING. It isn't about using a specific tire brush or this brand or that brand tire cleaner.

    It has to do with the rubber compound formulation.

    Re: Rinseless wash media: Sponge vs. Mitt

    Nah. Tuck the cuff in usually. There are times where the cuff is useful when I need to shove my hand inside for certain vertical areas with nooks and crannies (ie plastic front grilles).

    Also, I...

    Re: Rinseless wash media: Sponge vs. Mitt

    HUH? A wrung out wash mitt is not heavy at all. And why would that matter? Just gently glide the mitt (with no pressure) along the surface. No harm.

    Personally, I remove (cut out) the foam inside...

    Re: Rinseless wash media: Sponge vs. Mitt

    Sorry, I don't believe in the pre-treating theory. Not for a rinseless wash.

    If your paint is that dirty that you feel you have to pre-treat, then you probably should be doing a bucket soap wash...

    If your tire is STILL brown after thorough scrubbing and cleaning, then its not because its dirty. The rubber compound and conditioners in your specific tires are just formulated in such a way that...

    I can't do it man. I just can't.

    I tried years ago with a sponge and I hated the experience. And I really don't get how those special detail sponges with the spliced centers, do what they claim to...

    Re: Opinions On Prerinse With ONR

    The OP has asked specifically whether or not pre-rinsing with ONR, letting it dwell for a few minutes and then hosing it off on a dry, dirty vehicle is beneficial. He is curious if whether or not the...

    Re: Opinions On Prerinse With ONR

    Pre-rinsing with a RW is a WASTE OF TIME and product.

    If your concerned with grit/debris on the surface prior to a hand contact wash, then a good high pressure water rinse will do just fine. What...

    Re: Cleaning brown tires

    Unless your scrubbing tires with a wire brush, NO, this doesn't damage tires.

    Damage comes from solvents and/or chemicals that *deteriorate* the antioxidants and antiozonants formulated in the...
  17. Re: Suggestions on a cheaper spray and hose off sealant?

    No. It doesn't make sense to spend more money on Wetcoat or anything else is the same category. And when I said Armor All Ceramic lasts "a few good weeks" that was an estimation as I have never...
  18. Re: Suggestions on a cheaper spray and hose off sealant?

    Ignore all the YT videos. No one (from what I've seen) is using Armor All Ceramic *concentrated* in a spray bottle.

    See my post HERE for my tips on how to use this product.

    In a nutshell, spray...

    Re: CanCoat Evo @ 1 Year + a Question

    Yes, this IMO. ^^

    Keeping coatings or lite-coatings free from dirt/contaminants really do have an affect on its performance. I know that in many situations washing frequently isn't always possible...

    Where did Meguiar's say that Hybrid Ceramic Wash n Wax is being discontinued? It's still on their website, unlike HPC.
  22. Re: Question about coating lite (Megs HPC) and rain

    The 24 hr cure period is definitely critical to the bonding process. You'll want to plan ahead for the next time to ensure that rain is NOT in the forecast.
