Yeah, definitely a huge difference in all aspects! Honda’s decision to go with 20’s on the Type R was purely marketing. That’s the trend with a lot of manufacturers... big/fashion wheels. What’s...

Sure did! Stock wheels are 29 lbs each. New ones are 18.1 lbs each. New lug nuts are titanium weighing in at 15.5 oz for all 20 compared to 3 lbs for all 20 of the stock lug nuts. Car definitely...

Thanks! 18x9.5 +45 with 265/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport PS4s.

Been a while but, I ended up going with Satin Titanium and absolutely love how it looks!

You make a good point about the wheel fads. Haven’t seen too many 24”+ wheels on crown vics and Escalades in a while. Hell, a lot of cars are coming stock with 20”+ wheels. The stock wheels on my car...

That’s my one concern with my color car and the satin titanium, is that it would look washed out.

Don’t get me wrong, I like black wheels on certain cars. I was all set to order another set of black wheels and then saw the satin titanium wheels on my color R and now here I am! Can’t make up my...

Yes, I agree 100% that it’s extremely hard to see the design of the wheel with black wheels. Lol it’s a lot of money to spend not to see the design of the wheel unless you’re a few feet away!

I have a Polished Metal Metallic Civic Type R that I am looking to get new wheels for. I can’t for the life of me decide if I want satin titanium or black wheels...

I read that Hydrosilex came out with an updated formula. But it seems a bit gimmicky.....

Costly indeed! That why I was going to go with the Xpel sealant. The guy that installed it is an authorized Xpel installer. I was surprised when he told me he recommends Hydrosilex over the actual...

My wife and I both have Xpel Ultimate PPF film applied to our cars. I just received Cquartz Uk 3.0 to put on the non PPF parts of the car, so with that being said I also received Carpro Reload. When...

Thanks for the replies and suggestions! I think I'm just going to use my LC White foam pads and go for it! Or maybe purchase a couple LC green pads!

Lets say you were to use it as a one step... what pad(s) would you use?

More along the lines as a finishing polish. I’ve read MF pads are the way to go with Essence. I’d be happy to use the pads I already have though!

Thinking about getting either some Surbuf pads or Buff & Shine finishing MF pads and giving this stuff a go.....

I have a GG with red, blue, white and orange lake country foam pads.

Wow, very impressive! The main complaints I have seen is the amount of passes and different speeds to use while working with it....

I bought Cquartz UK 3.0 and will be applying it to my car and my wife's car. I've always been a wax/sealant guy but decided to go the coating route. I went ahead and bought Essence as well and I've...

I traded in my '04 350Z for a '17 Honda Civic Type R. The Z had leather seats so I never worried about sweating in them. I could regularly clean and condition them and that was it. Move on to the...

I would not use V7. I did the same thing this past spring and it was like V7 removed the wax (845). It beaded for a day and that was it.

I am not a fan of Klasse. At least the AIO. BFWD is great. Easy on, easy off.

I found that DG501 is an excellent paint cleaner but didn't have any correction. If it did it was very very little. But I find the durability to be pretty decent. I was curious to see how long one...

20 miles north of Cincinnati here.

I wouldn't go as far as to say it sucks. My car is my DD and isn't garaged. I removed I'd say about 98% of the swirls about 2 years ago and had to do a couple very minor touch ups with a light...
