    Re: Pontiac is coming back…

    Just so everyone is clear. The add was fake and even had a legal disclaimer at the bottom saying it was. Pontiac isn't coming back. No idea who published it. Maybe a late April Fool's joke that...

    Re: Pontiac is coming back…

    You're answer is right there. America didn't sabatoge anyone. The US auto industry simply responded poorly to the market conditions which left them at a disadvantage to other companies. I think...
  3. Re: Done with Gyeon products and probably ceramic coatings

    This has been my experience too. I don't do anything different maintenance-wise with a coating than I did sealants. I wash them every couple weeks as able with a quality soap, keep the bird...

    Re: Outdoor car covers...thoughts

    I think they may be one of the few that have a customer base looking for custom covers.

    After I posted my comment about the C3 I remembered being somewhere and someone had a C5 or C6 with a...

    Re: Is this thing on? BlackFire still viable?

    Blackfire? I think they began to fade when re-labeled everything and started to aim at a more pro detailer customer base needing large quantities of products. It seemed their focus on their really...

    Re: Pontiac is coming back…

    I just pulled out my copy and took a look. Not sure who paid for that add or if it was just an attempt at humor by the C&D staff, but there is nothing real about it. The wording itself can't be...
  7. Re: Done with Gyeon products and probably ceramic coatings

    I've done nothing special and I've having great results. I wash with either Hyperwash or 3D Pink. Most of the time, I don't top the Mohs EVO, and only occasionally topped Pure EVO as it began to...
  8. Re: Done with Gyeon products and probably ceramic coatings

    I find this really surprising and nothing at all like my experience. I've been running Pure EVO on my car for two years now and Mohs EVO for 12+ months on the wife's car without any issues. Even...

    Re: Outdoor car covers...thoughts

    I don't have any pictures, but thinking back I think the one ones I've ever seen that seem to fit snugly around a car are those that seem to be made for a specific make model. On my drive to work...

    Re: Where to go?

    My vote is is on a hacked account. One of the most common tactics is to find an old/unused account with a weak password and hijack it. Another option is they set up a new account and spoofed the...

    Re: Where to go?

    I had the database error on Friday (?) but haven't seen it since. I don't normally check the forum on the weekends, so my datapoint is pretty small. Since then though, I've had no issues at all.

    Re: Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    That would be pretty interesting since the US EPA rates the range for the i5N at 221 miles, which is often a bit optimistic.

    Overall though, if they didn't do those drag pulls all day long it...

    Re: My 1st legit wheel cleaning disaster…

    I noticed that too. Before even reading the text in the post, my eye caught that passenger side wheel and noticed something not looking quite right. The finish doesn't look right.

    Re: Brake Dust on Wheels?

    Glad the mystery was solved.

    What color was the material on the wheels? In the pictures it looked silver or gray, but I couldn't tell if it was just the flash on the camera washing out the...
  15. Re: Griot's Garage Backing Plate Engagement Hooks

    I can't compare to any Rupes machines, but I have no issues with the backing plate on my G8 or G15. Plenty of holding power with the pads I've used. I use Griots pads on my G8 and Rupes and LC pads...

    Re: Steering Wheel Product Suggestion

    A Scrub Ninja isn't mandatory, but it would speed things up. I use one of my older MF towels that has lost most of its softness. Probably not as good, but it works. The other thing to think about...

    Re: Steering Wheel Product Suggestion

    A lot of good advise so far. One thing I'm wondering is how much product are you using? Too much product may end up saturating the leather and excess just sits on the surface and makes it slippery....
  18. Re: what's the last car care/detailing video you've just watched?

    Good to know. I seem to struggle with the area between the center console and front passenger seats. On some SUV's it's a long way down and the seat frame prevents you from getting that area at...

    Re: Coating recommendation

    I'm really a fan of the Gyeon products right now. Mohs EVO is very easy to apply though Pure EVO might look better on dark blue. Will this be your first coating application of this type? If so, my...

    Re: My 1st legit wheel cleaning disaster…

    A quick Google search pulled up an old post from here at AG and it's mentioned Brown Royal has a PH of 10 or 12. That's really high on the basic side of the scale. So technically it is non acid,...
  21. Re: what's the last car care/detailing video you've just watched?

    I like that kit. I need a crevice tool that's slimmer than the one my shop vac came with and the long hose would be handy. The only bummer with the HF kit in the video is it doesn't come with a...

    Same on the window tint. I haven't had a car tinted in a long time and don't know what the going rate is these days.

    As for the door edge guards and cup protection, I found rolls of the stuff...

    Re: Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    The package isn't the worst as a whole, but their itemized list is pretty laughable. $299 for nitrogen in the tires and green valve stem caps? Costco will do it for free when you buy tires from...

    Re: My 1st legit wheel cleaning disaster…

    That's pretty wild. Based on how this played out, I'd say the finish was toast before they truck every came into your possession.

    Did you touch/feel the wheels when they were dry before...

    Re: Carpro Darkside; blotchy, streaky??

    How thick is DarkSide?

    One thing I've noticed now that I've used Optimum Tire Gel and Griots Ceramic Tire Dressing, is its really hard to get a good even look with the thicker products. For me,...
