Fashion vs Function eh....

I don't wanna talk you out of them but if you have the opportunity to order like item in regular handle and compare and contrast, you might find the latter finitely far...

I've got all the Cobras and Flats including the Unicorn Offset Handle Flats


Can't teach a dog new tricks. For me, it works in certain situations, but more often then not, I'm grabbing my old a##...

Did you buy the Comfort Grips cause you like them or you thought it was a upgrade since it said comfort

I hated my Comfort Grips....eventually sold most of them (still have a few floating) and all...

Yes, on the rubber wheel

I've done the plastic scraper - then 3M Adhesive, solvent, terminator, more scraping route. IME, the tape is just tenacious and annoying this route. Even with the soaking...

And for real OCD.....ahem....one preps the wheel before getting new tires installed (if you are fortunate enough to be using a different set of wheels physically on the car). It's my preferred way to...

Just absolutely floored that I never picked up on using it more often since it's been awhile since I have had intricate many spoke wheels - but Iron Dwell, HP Rinse is a complete touchless wash that...

Who here has real world experience with using Iron remover when cleaning your wheels and it's it's effect on the LSP - in this discussion, mid:high solids coating.

For me, I currently have Dlux...

I've had concerns but sofar....I've yet to find a missing weight. VHB or any decent weight supplier should -fuse- to the substate it's being attached.

Now that I'm putting this into perspective,...

IME with softer compounds (would call them sticky-oily), HP rinse never works for me. Always a film left.

However, apparently per the recent updates, CHEMS and HP rinse will do it.

You know why...

I've seen the way......and or need to do more reading on coatings, and real world feedback on using a Thioglycolate Cleaner on them consistently, etc. If the findings/readingss says it doesn't faze...

I must Not be using Iron Remover as Often as I should

I really only use it at end of season - wheels off deep clean sessions - and maybe once mid cycle when summer tires are on between March-Nov....

I'd say coat them as a first pass - of the Cerium is exactly like their Cerium trim, love the finish but it shows water spot very easily

I think:feel all the water based paint is crap these days...
So even just painted barrels, painted spokes of a machined feel wheel is SUS.

For example. the 1st thing I generally do on a new car...

I see re: TW coating...

I still have my TS . I've used it on a few cars I've sold....it does last until it chips. I think it has its market and may work for BillD if he's not running low pros -...

Tufshine.

The TW stuff - like the Acrylic Tire Shine. I've used that. It's not a coating like Tufshine.
I consider the TW a strong dressing
Tufshine goes on completly clean, dries to a touch,...

Low Pro's is the issue I suspect

I think it's fantastic stuff longevity wise....and nicer than a coating, that chips...

On the next time around, I think I'll skip product dispensed and just swipe it with the already still primed...

Yeah, I figured that comment would come in. Best practice I suppose....

11 Years. That is a looong time for rubber....
I'm very picky when it comes to rubber....sometimes @ half life, I might get...

In the realm of paint LSP, looks and durability has been achieved.
Too bad seems like we are all on the hunt when it comes to tires. Wishful thinking eh. Maybe in another decade

Yeah....Almost 2 ton SUV....comes with the territory.

DDP. I stand by my comments on the observations.
My comments wasn't even re: DDP but about product or process....the bones of this forum.

If a tradesman in the craft showed up to wash my car...

The statement meaning, cleaning:scrubbing till in 2, maybe 3 clean:rinse passes till it is literally white foam. For dressings, I do clean them, and might give them a second pass if it requires it....

DDP - I'll keep this short to not derail SA thread and I'll simply stay out of the threads you're in.

Unless the surface is surgically clean, there are just other textile mediums I prefer that...

BillD -

I was putting a clean sleeve onto the Barrel Blade and never noticed this until now....
It's not just a MF sewen to fit onto a sleeve....aside from the snap buttons to adjust the length....

Don't poke the bear ----> I don't know sch1tz from a supplier level but there has to be better, equivalent price options from a wholesale, shop level on mf towels that rival a chamois.....
