I am tempted to see how long it goes! I usually only have time to take my car to a place where I can detail it (not allowed in my condo building) once a year or so. That is the reason for...
Hi all, the two coats of Optimum Gloss Coat on my weekend car are about 18 months old. Still beading pretty well. Car has only seen 5k miles in the last 18 months.
The new blue foam applicator works well. Especially if you cut off the ends to make it into a rectangle. I actually prefer it to the suede. Plus less hassle of having to buy another applicator and...
The safest way to start the claying process is to chemically remove as much of the iron contaminants as possible with a product like Car Pro IronX or Optimum Ferrex. Every car is different, but...
As long as it doesn't leave behind a slick surface it's fine. With real leather steering wheels often they come out more grippy after all the dirt clogging the pores is removed.
I think spray waxes will work well for you. What I have my dad do for his black BMW is to use Prima Hydro MAX spray sealant as a base coat for protection. Takes 5-10 minutes. You spray it on, wipe...
Also look into xpel trac wrap, though I doubt it will be as inexpensive as the 3mspray. On the other hand, it will protect better and be less likely to come off than painters tape.
Mike, Autogeek going to continue to stock Prima products in the future or is this simply to stimulate sales? I really like the Prima spray products, as well as Amigo, but admittedly don't have a...
Ages ago, I detailed my parents' black Mercedes for them over the course of two days. Clay, decon, Menzerna Intensive Polish (IP2000) , Menzerna P085RD. Two coats of...
Thanks, I don't have a van, I was just using that as an example. I have a two door coupe. I used nearly all 10cc, but did so via two thin coats. It sounds like you guys are suggesting that I...
Does it matter how the 10cc is used, i.e. one thick coat vs. two thin coats? I've seen info elsewhere that applying it thick doesn't matter because you are just having to wipe off high spot anyway. ...
I used the provided blue sponge, but what I did was cut off the ends of the circle along the edges of the finger "loop" on the back so as to make a rectangular applicator about half the size of the...
I was able to do two coats on a two door Porsche with the 10cc tube and very little left. You should be able to get enough coverage from the 10cc and at least do a second coat on the horizontal...
I'm not a professional detailer but as someone who knows a lot of people that don't know the difference between a quality detail and the $20 hand wash offered in our business parking lot, here's the...
Essence does not replace Reflect. They are simply different products. There is little reason to use both. Essence is similar to Reflect on the abrasive scale but it has fillers too.
