    Is this how beading should look?

    Not my work (but was done on my car). Full detail including 1-step correction and a ceramic coating.

    Re: Length of ceramic coating

    Thanks so much for the detailed info, especially as it seems we're in similar situations (I used to try and do this myself, but just can't anymore). I just checked the cpro website and found someone...

    Re: Length of ceramic coating

    Great, thanks so much everyone. Definitely seems I will not be opting for more than a 3 year coat at best, possibly even shorter.

    Re: Length of ceramic coating

    Great, thank you. Can I get your thoughts on the following coatings? How well do they tend to hold up over 3-5 years?

    1) Undrdog Pro

    2) System X

    3) G Techniq

    Thank you.

    Length of ceramic coating

    A couple of the professional detailers near me offer 1, 3, 5 or 10 year coatings. Do coatings these days (with proper care) really last up to 10 years, or is that likely a waste of money (to pay...
  6. How to remove crumbling magnet from exterior

    I've had one of those circular elementary school magnets on my car for, apparently, way too long (6-10 years). I'm sure I've taken it off over the years here and there when washing the car, but...

    Best way to clean exterior of windshield

    I'm continually having issues with windshield wipers (streaking, etc...) within weeks of changing them, so I'm wondering if perhaps my windshield is heavily contaminated (11 year old car). As an...

    Great, thanks all. I'll give one/multiple of these suggestions a try (and will be very careful to cover the dash/vinyl).
  11. How to remove glue/sticky stuff left by cell phone mount on windshield

    Hi. I've had an iOttie Easy One Touch XL Windshield Dashboard Car Mount for several years now, and about a week ago I guess it had had enough of the sun (or something), as the glue/sticky part that...

    What to replace my 2010 Q5 with?

    Am thinking of replacing my Q5 which I love, but is starting to have more and more issues. I'd love something similar, and used, either a 2016 or a 2017 (maybe a 2015).


    Was thinking of a...
  14. Does anything work well to keep freezing rain/whatever from 'taking over' my windshield?

    A few times this winter the weather has been just right to leave a really thick coat of ice all over our cars. Aside from a physical windshield snow cover (which I may just have to get one of these...

    Credit card worked perfectly!

    Thanks, I'll give that a try!
  17. Sorry, not a detailing question exactly, but I need help removing a windshield mounted phone holder

    Any thoughts? It's stuck on there really well and I cannot remove it (yes, I flipped the lever to 'loosen' it...).

    I'm thinking the sticky plastic suction cup has 'melded' itself to my windshield...
  18. Re: Really off-topic, but is there a decent alternative to AOL IM service (not software)?

    That's what I've ended up using. I actually like that it works on both the PC and phone.
  19. Re: Really off-topic, but is there a decent alternative to AOL IM service (not software)?

    Yeah :) My wife and I use it for quick messages when we're on our computers. It's a great way to go back and forth without having to wait for emails to send/receive, and w/o having to type...
  20. Re: Really off-topic, but is there a decent alternative to AOL IM service (not software)?

    Hadn't thought of that. I'll take a look.
  21. Re: Really off-topic, but is there a decent alternative to AOL IM service (not software)?

    Thanks, but those don't have standalone apps on the computer. I did look at google hangouts chrome app, but it works kind of weird. i really like how Pidgin (or the old AOL IM sofware) is a small,...
  22. Really off-topic, but is there a decent alternative to AOL IM service (not software)?

    Is there a simple replacement service for AOL IM service?

    I don't need anything fancy/secure, just a simple way to IM with the wife on occasion...

    We use Pidgin software, and I thought AOL...

    A regular 2 bucket wash and KAIO seemed to do the trick!

    Re: White 'haze' on my car

    I don't have much in my arsenal (and no equipment to do any 'real' work). An AIO by hand is the most aggressive I can do. Other than that, Power Clean is the next most aggressive.

    Re: White 'haze' on my car

    Also, if it is a stain, would something like Optimum Power Clean possibly work? Or should I stick with an AIO b/c it probably needs the polishing effect?

    I don't want to try OPC without being...
