    How to best remove a wheel coating??

    Most Porsche’s don’t use centerlocks and, in general, owners of Porsche’s with centerlocks don’t DIY stuff or invest hundreds for the removal tool and very high duty torque wrench. If you get a flat,...

    Hi all:

    I have a persistent mild-moderate odor (from food in a carryout container left for a couple weeks) in my car that I haven't been able to get rid of. I've tried cleaning every surface...

    Re: Questions regarding Opti Coat

    PM me your address and I will send you a gift [emoji320]!!

    OP - $700 seems like a very fair price (even low!) if it includes a full correction and wheels.

    It will not yellow at all and I don't...

    Re: Questions regarding Opti Coat

    Well, I know it isn't as healthy for my lungs as air. But, you are right, I dont mean to exaggerate this point.

    I have 8 cans of AA wheel protectant in my garage now - I had to stop using it as I...

    Re: Questions regarding Opti Coat

    OptiCoat will definitely keep your white car glossy and bright - no worries on that end. I would definitely also coat the wheels rather than using the AA spray. Not only is coating more effective...

    Re: Clay and lubricant question

    For general use, I've never had an issue using an "OTC" clay (e.g. mothers). As far as lube, I am a fan of using soapy water. It works great and cost next to nothing.

    Re: Coating my new M2 Wheels??

    I personally wouldn't bother polishing these new wheels unless the finish is really rough right now (doubtful). Pop them off, clean with your favorite wheel cleaner, and clay/tar remove if necessary....

    Re: Nissan Murano Door Moldings

    You could just wrap it with vinyl - it will be reasonably cheap and you don't need to worry about removing anything

    Re: Cleaning weather tech floor mats

    Mine don't lighten tremendously after cleaning, but if you want them deep black I would *lightly* wipe with 303 and then wipe again with a damp towel. But, to me clean (and not dressed) mats are just...

    Re: Cleaning weather tech floor mats

    I have always just used diluted APC (I use Optimum's product) and a medium stuff bristled brush (and a hose). This is certainly an effective and low cost way of cleaning them. I am not sure why you...

    Tarminator works great - I am surprised you guys need to scrub at all if you are using a like chemical. The only thing I hate is that tarminator stinks up my towels/wash media

    Re: Review - Meguiar's Ultimate Fast Finish

    Just FYI - was in Wally World earlier and UFF was only $12.99. I was going to pick a kit up to try but decided against it as I have other products at home already that I should use up first

    Topper choices for Optimum Glosscoat?

    You bring up a good point, but topping it can definitely alter the appearance. But most importantly, it's just something else to do. One of the things that kind of sucks about a coating is that there...

    Re: Opti Gloss Coat One Section per Day

    I personally would just cut the applicator into 5 sections. You don't need that huge applicator for a panel - it really wastes too much product.

  20. Re: Used a compound and orbital polisher and damaged aluminum (or alloy?) rims

    Looks like it is time for a refinish. The good news is that refinishing your wheel(s) isn't ridiculously expensive. You should be able to find local options for ~$100/wheel. Many services are even...

    I use a small travel spray bottle and apply about 5-6 sprays on the tire itself, using the brush to spread over the tire.

    I can say this - on my "black chrome" exhaust tips, mothers exhaust polish was abrasive enough to make it silver, regular chrome.

    Ceramic is obviously completely different - I would use APC...
