Thanks for the review. You hit on one of the first things that kept me away this spring when I was shopping for a coating: The lack of a 30ml offering. I have one small car to do and it will...
It's about $50 more than a Griots G21. Would be interesting to see them compared. Nothing really stands out looking at it other than the fact it looks a lot like the Harbor Freight short throw...
I've never seen Tarminator or BugSquash harm the coatings on my cars. I have seen it degrade sealants though. When I still used sealants, I'd have a bottle of spray sealant on hand to touch up the...
I think he was taking it from the vendor's perspective. They will always blame it on the user and absolve themselves of any responsibility for their product regardless of an actual problem with the...
Those automated car washes are sprouting up around me like mushrooms. In the last two years we've seen 5~6 built within a mile or two of my house. That's on top of the nearly 10 already in...
I treat my steering wheel no differently than any other leather surface. I use McKee's 37 All-In-One leather cleaner that cleans and conditions at the same time. That product gets used on steering...
That's what I'm thinking too. Depending on the top layer of the leather, a long accumulation of sweat, skin oils, sunscreen, bug spray, etc, could lead to the wheel feeling sticky. I keep my wheel...
That was my experience too. I might be able to blast off the top layer of brake dust with a pressure washer, but it still took wheel cleaner and agitation of some sort to get the wheels totally...
Agree. The fact the product failed far earlier than it should is a bummer, but it's not worth the time or energy to keep up this dance. Time to move on and don't give them a second thought.
When I owned German cars, it was a lot harder because I was having to go after brake dust in all of the recessed lug nut areas. That was a pain and the only way to get it perfect was to remove the...
Your example is why I never get too wrapped up in 0-60 numbers. From what you show, the difference in times between tuned and non tune is .16 of a second. Unless you're...
I went to college with that guy, and his car was the example I was thinking of! He's joked about it on their podcast for years on since buying that car. I've heard it form a couple other owners too.
If I had $4K carbon fiber wheels, I wouldn't trust a dealer either! I'd be sure to take them to someone with the best tire mounting equipment and someone I trusted operating it.
The Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant is really thin too. Doesn't seem to hurt the performance, but you do have to be careful with it. Must be a common Wolfgang thing for their liquid sealants.
It does seem a little baffeling from a company that builds millions of cars every year. However, your in good company. Most Lotus Elise's can't go through a car wash either because of all the leaks!
I was told Mazda used to powder coat the wheels on some of their vehicles back in the 2000's. The ones on our 2010 Mazda3 had a finish which didn't seem to look like they were painted, so I had no...
