I have been using it for about 5 years. I have compared it to many other coatings and waxes.
Still the best I have used.
"Find a product you like and use it often".

Been using it for at least 4 years on Canadian salted car.
My method works both winter and summer.
2 buckets, sponge wash, rinse sponge in second bucket, drying towel to dry.
I then wash my drying...

Why not follow the manufactures recomendations?

60 to 70 degrees seems to be the norm.

Have used lots.
Let dry 15 minutes wipe off.
Takes 3 to 4 hours to "cure" but who knows.

You need the dye to cover these.

Have it done by an automotive leather installer shop.

They will clean the cracks and apply the dye.

After use a leather protectant sold here to restore shine.

You can do small spots all the time.

You need a polisher for 2' x 2' sections to be effective.

Tire blooming (turns brown) for me was on new Firestone tires.

Showed up about 2 weeks after installed.

APC and stiff brush removed most.

Applied dressing.

One week later blooming back.

Black ThinPro has zero cut.

Finish polish only.

Speed doesn't really matter, but 4 is easy to control.

I use same arm speed for most applications and number of passes to get job done.

No the clear will stay the way it is.

Actually there is no clear there and what you see is the basecoat.

You will need to basecoat the burn through and then clear the whole panel.

It is...

Here here to that.

Used to to do it and real pain-much easier by hand.

Lacquer Thinner or Window Washer Fluid if it is latex paint.

Key is to put some on cloth or paper towel and let soak for awhile.

Then wipe off.

Unfortunately it is small sections at a time...

All good advice here.

If I clay and it still feals rough, I sand it with 3000 grit Trizact 3" pads.

Repeat the claying to check.

Can do only because is my DD and have lots of clear.

This post kills me.

Spider web syndrome?

I guess you could vacuum them off if you really need to.

I don"t get the risk of dust damageing paint.

Surley waxed or sealed paint can resist the "dust" no matter what it is.

Blasting it off or wiping it off is no different than if it rains on the...

I live in South Western Ontario Canada.

Opti-Seal will last the whole winter no problem.

Easy to apply but should have paint as good as you want before use.

In spring repeat.

It depends on the polish too.

Do a test spot and then decide.

I had a new set of tires that turned brown like crazy.

Cleaned with OPC straight, dressed with Optimum Tire Coat.

Lasted one week, and turned even more brown.

Broke out Tuff Shine and...

No.

Lay them out and wash with mild soap and lots of water rinse.

Air dry only.

I made my own chart based on pad manufacturer and Prodict supplier.

Only work on my own car, so the chart is a guide specific to my car.

Example:

A more usefull tool would be what saved you time.

I don't mind spending as much time as it takes to get the desired results (DD only).

But I also like to use a better way if available.

That...

It is not better than the PC, it is just easier to control.
Use the proper pad and tool combination and should have good results.

What is WW?

I seperate.
1. Wax removal plush towels
2. Good and tatty microfiber towels
3. Drying towels
4. Glass polishing towels

How I clean
1. In the sink with Dawn Dish Soap left to soak for 10 hours...

I have seen this thread before and will give it one more shot.

I just finished using Sonus Trim & Motor Kote on the under the hood plastic.

Prep was minimal -douce with APC, agitate with...

I have both and find it usefull when polishing.

The 3" with Thin Pro Pads does a very good job (does get a little warm when running longer times).

I try not to exceed each machines limits.
