I love Optimum Power Clean and their leather protectant. I have Optimum Car Wash and No Rinse on the way and am sure I will be pleased with them as well.

Blasting and Brembo brakes shouldn't be even remotely comparable. For basic single coat jobs I clean, outgas, blast and coat calipers for $200 give or take.

In my area blasting four calipers...

Besides a strong degreaser and Iron-X you are probably looking at blasting or recoating. Either of which will require disassembly for obvious reasons. I do a lot of calipers for my powder coating...

They can be easily removed. In my experience (Owned 4) Hondas have notoriously soft paint.

You're welcome. :xyxthumbs:

Thanks, it is a fun car. Like every Subaru it is "Stage 2"
Fun little daily driver, it gets raced in about every way imaginable; Auto-X, Drag, Rally and is still...

Got it. I have actually never actually came across any tar. Just stuck on tire bits. :)

Here is what 3M recommends for their wraps:

Soften difficult contaminants such as bug splatter, bird...

I was told directly by CarPro (Iron-X Manufacturer) that Iron-X only reacts with iron particles and its solvent free base is save for vinyl.

I have used Iron-X & Tar-X with great success. Spray it on, let it dwell for a few minutes and then rinse off. A little goes a long way and can also be reapplied if needed in trouble spots.

I love those cars, but I kind of have a thing for "different" cars. Great work!

Working with vinyl can be rough, been there a few times. Brilliant finish and result!

Favorite for personal use is Pete's 53

Favorite day to day is Meguiar's Ultimate Paste.

Congrats to the winners!

That is the one. I grabbed a pic, but was too lazy to post it, haha.

Northern Tool by me was sold out of Show Car Glaze, I did buy a 10pc Microfiber kit for $3.99 though. Cheap cloths, but could be good for random jobs.

Did pick up a gallon of the Griot's Spray On...

I am going to go check the one by me tonight. Thanks!

Still have any of these for sale?

I am thinking about buying my first jar of "high end" wax.

Nice looking work. That blue is gorgeous cleaned up.

When I check that Brinkmann it is now showing for $3.98, just so everyone knows. Pretty limited pickup though.

I have Blackfire Wet Diamond on right now. I have yet to try a Black Label product, if I get the chance I would be happy to write a review.

I would love to go to a detail fest, but sadly haven't been to one. That said coverage has been good. I think a live stream would be a cool idea.

Nice write up, thanks!

Glad to hear you are OK. I love the Mazda 6 and wanted to buy one before my Fit, but the deal fell through.

I am not super fond of the Edge, however I do like the look of yours. My girlfriend...

Gorgeous, I love the first generation Miatas. I plan to have a track one some time soon.

Nice work, great save.

The clay change has been around for a while. It also does a great job of rendering the clay refill kit that Meguiar's also sells obsolete, since the new kit is a better value.
