    Re: M205 Dust Dried and Stuck on Paint

    I would wait for confirmation from somebody that will check out the MSDS for you, but the answer is probably yes. For safety, I would not use it higher than 10:1 (perhaps start at 20:1 and see if it...

    Re: Looking for a new power washer.

    As far as electric units go, they have gone far downhill in terms of quality the last 10-20 years. You used to be able to get a decent quality unit at the department store. Not anymore. 15 years...

    Re: M205 Dust Dried and Stuck on Paint

    From my experience (which is pretty limited), you will have better luck with a strong soap than alcohol removing completely dried polishing residue. My suggestion would be to use a paint safe APC...
  4. Re: Super Frustrated. LSPs constributing to water etching damage on daily driver

    Two week update:

    1500 more miles on the BMW (short trip to Canada). It has rained and the sun has come out baking the water off the hood just as it has in the past. Mineral deposits were left...

    Re: Wash/Wipedown or not?

    As I've gained experience, I've found a 15% alcohol solution is all that is necessary to get the paint squeaky and free of all oils and remaining particles from polish. I get annoyed at "dusting"...

    Re: Ultima WW+

    You can use it as a rinseless bucket wash. Works well but is expensive compared to ONR (or others) by the gallon. It leaves a much heavier polymer film than ONR, more like a quick detailer. It does...

    Re: I am very upset over this

    If you want to test your luck, license plate obscuring covers are actually legal in most states. They make it impossible for these camera's to capture your plate from most common perspectives.

    Re: Opti-coat users?

    I just did my first application last week with temps around 85-88 in my garage. The car was NOT in the sun. I can't imagine doing the work in the sun in those temps. I only had about 1 minute of...

    Re: UTTGP has solids floating, is it normal??

    Had no idea. What's the manufacturing date on it / when did you buy it? Wondering if they changed it away from / to a sprayer.

    Re: Hand Car Wash - $10

    I share this opinion. Only a fraction of car owners care enough to notice 1/10th of what we notice on vehicles. The way we conduct ourselves around OUR cars is not altogether rational to most...

    Re: UTTGP has solids floating, is it normal??

    He's talking about Tire and Trim, not Paint Guard Plus.


    Give it a hell of a shaking and see if you can break up the flocculant. It's a side effect of the stuff being as active as possible, it...

    First time hearing this idea, but it's never a good idea to get any sort of a silicon based compound on a bike tire because it is extremely dangerous. A spray of compound on the tread is about at...

    Re: Anything better than IPA for wipedowns?

    I'm a fan of using ethanol as I have it readily available. It has a lower boiling point than isopropyl so it evaporates even faster. Cleans identically and is about half as toxic too. I mix...
