Congrats and have fun!

I will let my wife know that I'm not crazy. :thankyousign:

Sonax didn't get the rims clean on the 99 bimmer this weekend with lots of agitation. I was very disappointed. I had grime that I...

Bummer... Sorry to hear about the mishap. Good luck with whatever path you choose.

One Grand is located in Ventura, CA. World Class Motoring in Agoura Hills, CA has it. You can order direct from OG. You should be able to find it online.

You can also try Meguiars PlastX...

You may be amazed by the clay step.

I use Scratch X for small areas with success but never for a large correction. You might consider Megs Ultimate Compound with a little more cut. You might...

:iagree: Heat, too much product or a "too damp"recently cleaned pad.

I use a QD like Megs Final Inspection or diluted ONR when push comes to shove.

There are lots of things to try before a dye or paint.

Try a plastic polish and then seal with either UTTG or WETS. I normally get months of durability.

I use OG Plastic Polish but I...

I own BMWs. Call me crazy but I like OPC as a wheel and tire cleaner for the money. I also like it because it works well on both wheels and rubber, but I use for many other uses. Megs APC+ is ok...

I have no problems with 5.5" Flat and HT pads but started with 6.5" CCS pads. I didn't get the cut that I wanted with the 6.5" CCS pads.

About 15-20 lbs of pressure. Don't use too much or too...

The real answer is sort of and it depends on the glaze and sealant. You need to use a glaze and sealant that is compatable.

Glazes add gloss, feed the paint and help fill swirls to a certain...

I now primarily use OPC to clean the interior of my BMWs. I prefer it to Megs APC+.
I think the CG product is too strong. For my leather seats, I mainly use Leatherique products.

I have...

:iagree:

Probably best to replace the gouged trim.

If the paint is cut through the clear coat on the back bumber, you may need to see a body shop. You may be able to make the rear bumper...

I have heard of it but never tried it.

I sort of remember a discussion last year that had to do with using using ice water with some waxes to deal with wax sweating and for spit shining.

If...

I will have to give the Megs a shot next when I use up my gallon of the other cleaner.

I am not happy with the Aquapel aerosol cleaner (not the gallon that I normally use). I am getting a hazy...

Bob, you always give great recommendations. I still have nearly a gallon of another glass cleaner, plus several others around. I have not found that perfect window cleaner yet. Window cleaner and MF...

I typicially use a 4" red B&S flat pad. It's easier to apply to the thin sections along the bumpers. I can pull the pad off the DA and get the really tight spots. I apply 1 coat of LSPs by...

Until they are a thin ragged piece of fabric, there are lots of uses for the old MF.

They are better than a paper towel when wiping up the oily spot on the floor.

Your words hold great truth.

About 15 years ago, I asked my wife's great uncle his secret to staying happily married at his 65th wedding anniversary party.

Two words.

"Yes Dear"

And...

I generally use old cotton terry towels on the tires soaked in OPC, another APC, or car wash soap if the brush doesn't get them clean.

I don't seem to have as tough time with black staining of...

Thanks Chris. Even though OC is a permanent coating, my cars are always getting pelted by flying garbage from the LA freeways. I've been hit by plywood, cardboard boxes, truck tire pieces, rocks,...

My current fav is the Optimum (bought another gallon) car wash but have not tried the Dodo. Cost per wash is reasonable, smells good, good suds and lubricity. You might want to also try DG 901 and...

260

Optimum polish or finish ok to "scuff" the section?

How long will the syringe of OC 2.0 last once it's opened if I need to "fix" a section or panel?

Protect if you plan to drive it. A light cleaning before moving on with the glaze if you leave it in the garage.

Hey Chris,

My biggest concern with Opti-coat is the need to completely remove the coating if I need to fix a section. God knows that my cars are constantly pelted with SoCal freeway debris. Not...
