From the logs I've seen it's certainly not for the faint of heart. Total gibberish to me, but I've seen conversations on forums where a couple really smart people pick out bad values in minutes and...
The couple times I've done it I don't think I had to resort to an eraser wheel. I plastic razor blade removed the big chunks of adhesive tape and then I used a little 3M adhesive remover to clean up...
Interesting. I've never heard of that before. 2500~3500RPM would be right in the middle of steady state highway speeds in fifth or sixth gear. Anyone not hooning would probably land right in that...
There is something about the air density at 60~70F that puts engines in their "happy place". My turbo'd cars seemed to run their best at about 65F and my N/A car now is really happy at 70F.
Do tire shops even use clip on weights for non-commercial vehicles any more? I can't say I've seen a clip on weights anywhere for a very, very long time. Many of the wheel designs don't really lend...
This is my method of new tire prep too. I let nature run it's course to let the mold release agents and any rim lube used by the tire shop wear off. I don't think I' let them go two months, but do...
I *think* I do too, but I'm never quite sure if it actually looks different or my brain is coming up with something to make me feel better about the money spent on a product and the time/effort to...
I never had it worsen the water behavior either when I used it on CQUK 3.0, but that shouldn't make any difference. In fact, I never noticed any change in water behavior at all before/after...
It's only in the Spring. Our yard has this bluegrass/fescue stuff that goes nuts when it's cool and wet. Several years ago when we'd get rain 2~3 a week in the spring I'd be mowing every four day...
I've had to cut mine a couple times by now. In years past I'd be mowing every four days or so, but it's been so dry here this winter and spring I only have to worry about it every 7~8.
Griots Garage Wheel Cleaner (the green one) is a really mild wheel cleaner and does a great job on that sticky BMW brake dust. When I owned a 435 MSport, it easily cleaned up the wheels.
I think any boosting ability is seen towards the end of a coating's life. I've used Carpro Elixr, ECH2O, Gyeon Cure and Ceramic Detailer, and now Armour Detail Amplify. On a fresh coating I could...
The Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant is very runny/thin. It will separate but a few good shakes will mix it all together. The consistency doesn't seem to affect performance or ease of application.
You don't hear about it much any more, but I remember as a kid there would be mention of "acid rain" and its damage fairly frequently after a rainfall when the air quality was bad. This is probably...
What kind of wheels are you seeing chipping? If you are talking about diamond etched wheels with a clear-coat, I whole heartedly agree (the other thread you started on a similar topic). If it you...
What dilution gives you streaking with ECH2O? I never experienced anything like that and I typically use a 1:20 or maybe a little thinner dilution as a quick detailer.
