You can find relatively reliable laser temperature gauges on Amazon for $10-15.

It's been a while since I checked but the thing that got me was the large quantities you had to buy d114 in.

Depends on the dilution, at the standard 1:128 no.

Are you using the appropriate dilution ratio with ONR and not just estimating? ONR depending on the environment especially if you double or...

UWW is a classic.

Great pictures Mike. An iconic place in Germany for sure.

VW/Audi have it as well, same with Subaru.

What product are you using to clean the wheels? A dedicated wheel cleaner or APC or diluted?

I think the best thing you can do, although sacrificing performance slightly, would be to swap brake...

Durability and HD Polish? I have no experience with speed.

There is also the possibility it is a tri coat with a white tinted clear coat.

My $0.02

I find HD Adapt to be a great compound/polish. I know it's marketed to be "adapt"able to many different pads and cutting levels, overall I'd put it in a medium cut. It doesn't cut as...

This. Extremely cost effective while working great.

Hey great job and what an awesome gift. Hopefully you also let him know how to take care of it!

I like OPC over D101. I know D101 is very economical but I find OPC to work better than it and Blackfire OPC. I mainly use it on tires and wheels and at times diluted heavily for the interior.

I would say it's also important to understand the compound/polish you're using. For example a diminishing abrasives like Menzerna obviously becomes easy to wipe and if you don't work it long enough...

I only used it when taking new delivery. Most commonly on cars transported by rail or if you see obvious iron spots. It's a good product but definitely something that is more of a nicety on most...

I think the second coat about 30 minutes to an hour after makes it much cleaner. I do take an applicator though in the corners to avoid spraying paint I think spreading it evenly in those areas...

SM Arnold I believe owns the patent. So they manufacture it for multiple different companies to their specifications and price points.

Well done! How did you do a garage paint job?

I just lay mine flat usually or quad fold it onto itself. Keeping it lubricated before separating it also helps.

Even got Dr. G involved here. Good to hear from him. I doubted with how environmentally friendly ONR is that phosphates would be in it.
