I think a decent cover is a good stop-gap. Why can't the Saab go under a cover outside?

Well Cockpit just p***ed it off and spread around the sticky stuff. 10:1 OPC worked a bit better, 3:1 better still, removing the stickiness from the horn, but it tools several applications of full...

They weren't sticky before the detail, but the car is a 2001 BMW convertible with only 30k miles (vacation car), and while it's been garaged and kept clean, this is it's first detail. Not all...

Bump? Does anyone else know how to remove sticky silicone-like residue left by a ham-handed detailer?

Thanks.

Were you ever able to resolve the stickiness? We just had a car detailed and whatever they used on the interior left several surfaces a sticky mess.

It looks like I need to give 476 a shot at some point, if only for giggles and grins. It sounds like it lends itself to application with a dual-action buffer, which can put wax on really thin. Has...

It looks like I need to give 476 a shot at some point. I'm at 14 weeks on the 845 and it still beads like crazy. Winter weather has set in here in the NW, and I've been traveling a lot, so I've...

I'm another happy Collinite user, especially now that the bottle's a little less full--makes it easier to turn liquid. I use a DA to apply, so it's thin. It sure doesn't take much!

Wow gorgeous cars and nice correction.

+1 for The 3M kit. It'll be interesting to see how you like the Diamondite kit.

Ok, I may get motivated tonight and buff them after work. It won't take long, just a hassle of moving cars, etc. Thanks.

Gotcha. Thanks.

That was the plan--just ran out of time/energy last night to buff them, so tossed them up onto the rack and put the cars away.

What's the downside to waiting? I wouldn't do this if they were on...

Hmmm, what else am I compulsive about?

Let's see...cars, motorcycles, food, music, watches, woodworking.

That's pretty much it for the time being, but stay tuned--new compulsions arrive...

Welcome, Phil. I'm in SW Portland. Looks like you have a nice set up there. May give you a call when the weather makes doing everything myself not so much fun!

I finally got around to waxing my new winter wheels with Collinite 845. I put on a thin coat, and just left it on thinking I'll buff and put on another coat before I get the tires mounted in a few...

I have a Vac-n-Blo and I love it. It's a great vac, fantastic suction and quiet, which is what I primarily use it for. It works well as a blower--in my experience better than my Toro leaf...

What's it do, exactly? Like Rain-x? I tried Rain-x a long time ago and hated it for the PNW weather--more mist than rain, so the wipers just scaped it off.

+1
I use the low end Meg's Crystal wash, and it sheets nicely now that I have sealant + 845 on top. My only criticism is that it takes a lot: 2 oz per gallon doesn't aound like much until you use...

Pics would help. Are you sure it's contamination?:Picture:

Looks like it's only for black?

Nick, thanks. You may want to tweak the description on the web page--all it talks about is making trio darker and shows black trim pics.

Thanks!

303 makes several products. Which one did you use to clean oxidized plastic?

Ok will start with APC. Good excuse to pick up some OPC anyway. The Ultima Tire and Trim Guard looks interesting, too, although I just picked up some Griot's long-lasting tire treatment. I've just...
