    Re: Coating Degradation Question

    Same coating.

    For the purposes of this discussion, let's assume that both vehicles receive the same maintenance practices.

    Coating Degradation Question

    I have a question about coating degradation. Let's assume these two scenarios:



    Vehicle A has been coated for 1 year. It gets parked indoors and has been properly hand washed 25-30 times. It...

    Rupes Yellow Polishing Wool Pads

    Besides the Rupes compounds/polishes, which products does everyone like to use with their Rupes polishing wool pads?
  6. Re: P&S/Renny Doyle Double Black Interior Products (Terminator, Carpet Bomber, Finisher) - Feedback?

    Interesting. I wonder if the dark spots are leftover from the stains. Did you try pre-treating the dark spots with their Terminator product or something similar?
  7. P&S/Renny Doyle Double Black Interior Products (Terminator, Carpet Bomber, Finisher) - Feedback?

    I recently ran out of Optimum Carpet Cleaner & Protector and wanted to try something stronger this time. After doing some research, I decided to order the Renny Double 3-part kit kit (Terminator,...
  8. Re: 2015 Avalon - 2-Step Correction, CarPro Essence and CQuartz TiO2

    Thanks!


    The trim was not worked on. Tires saw CarPro PERL at full strength.



    The most recent revision of Classic contains TiO2. I believe the new name for the product is CQuartz TiO2.
  9. 2015 Avalon - 2-Step Correction, CarPro Essence and CQuartz TiO2

    The owner of this 2015 Avalon has seen my work on a few other vehicles and requested for his car to be corrected and "coated." He was quite impressed by the dirt-repelling capabilities from CQuartz...

    Re: Should I go Gloss Coat?

    A conversation with Dr. G or an optimum rep will confirm what I posted above. IPA wipedown is not necessary when optimum polishes are used for the correction process. But when other brand polishes...

    Re: Should I go Gloss Coat?

    Use Carpro's block and suede applicator. Or Optimum's version of it.

    No need for IPA. Polish using Hyper Polish or Primer Polish, then do a wipedown using ONR blue at normal wash diction.
  12. Re: Which "Non Pro" Coating offers the most for a small business?

    I was told that GC was designed to compete with premium and pro-coatings from other brands; specifically, they were targeting coatings such as CQuartz Finest during the development of GC.

    Re: What QD for maintaining Fuzion

    Meguiars D115 - yes, it is a waterless wash, but when mixed at 5:1 it works incredibly well as a QD. I use it as a post-wash wipedown.

    D115 is super slick, wipes clean with no streaking (even in...
  14. Re: Blackfire Waterless Wash (new 1:48 formula) vs Meguiars D115

    My gallon of D115 comes today. I can't wait!
  15. Re: Blackfire Waterless Wash (new 1:48 formula) vs Meguiars D115

    D114 doesn't say that it can be used for waterless, at least not according to the label.
  16. Blackfire Waterless Wash (new 1:48 formula) vs Meguiars D115

    I am thinking about trying waterless washes.

    The two products I am looking at are Meguiars D115 and Blackfire Waterless Wash.

    The "wax protection" is not of interest to me - but I do like a...
  17. Re: Suggestions to maintain Tesla Nappa Leather

    Find an Optimum installer and get Opti-Guard for the interior. That would be your best bet.

    As an alternative, try CQuartz Leather from CarPro.

    Re: One step process

    HD Speed with a MF finishing disc will cut really well and finish decently well as long as the paint is not too soft.

    Re: Which LC pad for HD Speed

    HD Speed works great on a Meguiars MF finishing disc if you need cut.

    Otherwise, I use it with a Meguiars low-profile foam cutting disc.

    Re: D114 or Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine?

    I think I was using 0.5 oz per quart?

    Re: D114 or Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine?

    D114 doesn't work as a clay lube. I've tried - it's really "filmy" and the clay doesn't bite like it should. It's hard to describe, but you'll see what I mean if you try it.

    Re: Optimum Gloss Coat...Cloudy HELP

    Hmm, I haven't had this problem before. Can you show up some pictures?

    Did you by any chance get the car wet after application?

    How long did you wait before leveling high spots?

    Re: Coating Failures X2

    That won't work - you'll need Iron-X.

    Degreaser won't be enough to remove the layer of grime that was built up.


    Does the surface feel rough?
