    Meguiars #7 on 38yo clear coat paint

    I’ve got a 1982 Mercedes 300CD with original metallic blue clear coat paint. It looks really good overall, but there are some minor swirls on the hood. There are also a few dull spots in the paint....

    Doesn’t look bad from that photo!

    Little by little is the best way if you dont have lots of time.

  5. Review: McKees 37 SiO2 Soap and Spray on Filthy Black Car

    My DD in non-ideal weather is my 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid. Owned it since new, got CQuartzUK shortly after purchase. Has gotten a steady diet of HydrO2 after most every wash.

    Havent washed the...
  6. Re: Has anyone compared BFs SiO2 spray sealant to Carpro Reload

    Any reason folks are t comparing to HydrO2 as well? While the application may be a little different, the end intent is roughly the same - lay down these materials on a surface.

    Trisodium Phosphate and Auto Paint

    I like Meguiars #57 for rubber, especially when cleaning is needed to remove bakes on pollen and residue.

    But it has 1-5 or some percentage TSP. TSP is an alkaline cleaner/degreaser that is...

    Count me as another one who has experienced this.

    Many times.

    On iPhone, iPad, and a Mac running the latest Firefox.

    On the computer, the ISP blocks the redirect and puts up an error...
  9. Re: Review: SONAX Spray + Seal Review by Mike Phillips

    This is exciting stuff! Wonder how it will compare to CarPro HydrO2, which has a similar application principle. I'd trade longevity for UV protection to a point, but would be interested to see how...

    Re: RaggTop / Fluoropolymer on Paint and Glass

    Yes, as I mentioned in my OP, it is safe on paint.

    My my curiosity is what the protectant may do for paint and glass water beading.

    isnt aquapel, as an example, a fluoropolymer sealant?

    RaggTop / Fluoropolymer on Paint and Glass

    Winter is coming and I wanted to get a coat of sealant on the top of my BMW 135i convertible. It never gets used below freezing or when there is any sign of salt on the roads, but I do try to run it...

    Re: What backing plate and pads size for flex 3401

    Likely a stupid question, but what difference does it make if the 4 3/8" pad overlaps the 4" Velcro on the 5" hybrid pad?

    its only a little over 1/8" on each side.

    I get the bevel at the...

    Warranty aside, is there reason to think that GG is better made than flex, rupes, pc, etc?

    Yeah, another polisher question...

    Yes, another. First an intro - I keep up six cars of different ages. All but one are metallic/clearcoat paints.

    Don't know, only polished it yesterday.

    When the car is dirty you can see that where the water selectively "flowed", the dirt is different. And it consistently does this, much worse/differently...

    No kidding that gravity does its thing, but the odd thing here is that water only goes down in those lines that you can see are wet. Water doesn't wet the rest of the surface, and even if I blast...
