    Re: Inside Griot's Garage

    I've come to the same conclusion on all of these graphene products. Companies are using graphene as a buzzword, to generate hype and noise, but I don't see it adding much, if anything, to the...

    Re: Post Your Beading Shots!!!

    Looks like Hyper Seal beading as a stand-alone is just below average. Oh well, that's one item off my wish list :D

    Optimum claims durability of up to a year, and with its chemical composition, you would expect it be something on the level of a coating lite such Cancoat, CQuartz Lite, or Infinity Wax Synergy Lite....

    I’ve seen a few videos which would exhibit this. Here’s one testing a variety of ceramic QDs, on both bare paint and on top of CQuartz UK - you can see drastic differences in the hydrophobics when...

    Re: Road Salt Remover / Neutralizer ?

    The instructions for Touchless are likely the way they are because every foam cannon dilutes product differently, so they can’t give a standard dilution ratio. If you were willing to use it in an IK...

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I remember some discussions previously where people mentioned Opti-Seal generally looking better and being slicker to feel 12 hours after application - the thinking back then was that the additional...

    I know this is a somewhat older thread, but in case anyone is still uncertain, ONR can be used on fresh repaints.

    Re: Opti-Coat Hyper-Seal Review

    It would be interesting to see the durability of this. Opti-Seal was one of the first LSPs I bought - always liked the application process, but durability and water behavior was always a bit lacking,...

    Re: Buy a ipa or make it?

    The cost difference is fairly significant. I’m not in the US, so prices will obviously differ, but over here 500ml (17 oz) of Carpro Eraser is around $20 (larger sizes are not available here). I can...

    Re: Ratio selection; foam gun

    At the middle setting, it pulls in 4oz of solution for every gallon of water, right? Now, that 4 oz is mixed at 1:3, which means that of the 4 oz solution, 1 oz is shampoo, 3 oz is water. So you're...

    Re: Need help on waxes for my BMW!

    I'd still go for 915. It's just somewhat less durable than 476 - which means that it is in the upper echelon of non-coating products when it comes to durability - it looks good, has nice water...

  20. Re: Dodo Juice Supernatural Acrylic Spritz made me late for office

    Fair enough - but again, how many sprays were you using per panel? I've found that a lot of people tend to over-apply spray waxes - like I said, usually one spray, in a sweeping motion, per panel is...

  23. Re: Dodo Juice Supernatural Acrylic Spritz made me late for office

    You should apply it like you would a spray wax or QD - one to two sprays on the panel, spread with an MF towel, flip towel and do a second wipe. Given how you applied it - several sprays on a foam...
