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,...
So on Monday I went ahead and ran the ozone machine in my car for 30 minutes. I also ran the HVAC system on recirculate for 10 minutes. After, I let...
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...
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...
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.
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....
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...
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
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
Thanks for the suggestions so far. I forgot to mention that my usual car wash routine (on my coated cars) includes ONRWW or Optimum car wash and I use Optimum instant detailer as a drying aid if I...
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...
Hi all: I just finished correcting and applying Opti Glosscoat on my Basalt Black Porsche. I've been using OptiCoat 2.0 or for 5+ years but outside of Sonax PNS (and some Opti spray wax every now and...
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...
