  1. Re: Treating Rubber - Olympic Weight Plates

    yeah, I don't think I want my plates to have a satin luster or fragrance, let alone additional oils.

    Re: Post your vacuum cleaner

    That Griot's/Bissell is nice, but is anyone using a smaller cordless or 12vdc vacuum for on the road?
  3. Re: Treating Rubber - Olympic Weight Plates

    @ducksfan, thanks for that - I see that the Rubber Prep has solvents for the active ingredients whereas the Rubber Cleaner has a mix of Cleaning Agents with pH adjuster. I suspect any of these...

    Re: The Season of Discontent is upon us...

    I'm in NJ - we'll either get hammered with snow and the pre-requisite salt/brine or we'll just get lots of rain. These days I just go to my local touchless place. I go regularly enough that I get...
  6. Treating Rubber - Olympic Weight Plates

    While not a vehicle, I thought you lot would be the ones to ask about what product(s) you might use to clean and protect rubber coated Olympic weight plates.

    These typically get handled with hands...
  7. RainX Winter Windshield Washer Fluid residue removal

    I have baked on white emollients (grease) from RainX winter washer fluid that I can't get off from my glass and paint.

    I've tried white vinegar, mineral spirits, Dawn, Meg's D114 diluted 1:10 with...
  8. Re: Pigmented Finished Leather treatment?

    It seems that Leather Doctor has the most complete line of products that are directly targeted for corrected top-grain automotive leather.

    Many of the other products don't specifically state or...
  9. Pigmented Finished Leather treatment?

    I have a 2014 Kia Sorento with perforated pigmented finished leather front seats, non-perfed back seats and glossy coated leather steering wheel.

    I feel really confused by the various leather...
  10. Re: My car wash method seems inefficient...

    I'm using the ONRWW for it's added wax protection.

    I decided to stray from the 2BM since Scott from Dallas Paint Correction essentially proved that it doesn't work unless you use a fresh...
  11. Re: My car wash method seems inefficient...

    This fall I'm hoping to do a correction and apply Collinite 476 to one car and Finish Kare wax to the other.

    I use the Optiseal as a drying aid for the washes and if I have more time, I'll apply...
  12. Re: My car wash method seems inefficient...

    Do you mean the "Hydroshot"? If so, there is a 20v ($109-120 depending on promo) and 40v ($127-$140 depending on promo) version.

    I presume you'd put the ONRWW in the supply bucket?
  13. My car wash method seems inefficient...

    This past weekend I washed my cars ('05 Forester and '14 Sorento) for the first time in months since winter. I don't have water restrictions and have my own hose/water access.

    I had been using the...
  14. Re: HD Speed or D166 and LC ThinPros to start

    Belo,

    My wife's 2005 Forester, in light silver, has only had 2-3 clay bar and hand applied Meg's Cleaner/Wax sessions in its life other than the by-hand polishing I did last year. It has some...
  15. Re: HD Speed or D166 and LC ThinPros to start

    I saw another member's thread who did a 1-step correction using LC White flats and FG400 on a 2013 Kia Optima in black. The results were pretty stunning. My Kia is a 2014 in dark metallic gray.

  16. Re: HD Speed or D166 and LC ThinPros to start

    Joe,

    I'm hoping the less aggressive nature of the white pads + the finishing capabilities of either the FG400 or Jescar compound or polish, will get me a no-haze, wax-ready finish.

    I'd use the...
  17. Re: HD Speed or D166 and LC ThinPros to start

    Just a pseudo-update on this topic...

    After more reading, I've been leaning towards doing a 1-step correction using Menz FG400 or Jescar Compound. What drove this decision to back away from the...
  18. Re: what pads to use with Fg400 for one step

    I believe it was a 2009 Honda.
  19. Re: what pads to use with Fg400 for one step

    I believe they were using Meg's Super Soft pads. The thread was from several years ago.
  20. Re: what pads to use with Fg400 for one step

    PF2500 is a finishing polish. So, if your paint has minor swirls and scratches, it may take them out. I'd start with your least aggressive pad and do test spots working your way up in aggressiveness...
  21. Re: what pads to use with Fg400 for one step

    old thread, but thought I'd chime in and say that for my first go around with machine correction I'm intending to try the FG400 on never machine corrected '05 Subaru (light silver) and a '14 Kia...

    Re: 2013 Kia Optima

    I realize this is an old thread, but I'm prepping to tackle my '14 Kia Sorento in dark gray metallic and a '05 Subaru Forester. The FG400 seems like it worked awesome for you. I have samples on the...
  23. The Duragloss process for daily drivers

    Firstly, let me say that I've never machine polished a vehicle. I've gone as far as doing Iron-X decon, clay bar and then hand polishing with Poli-Seal.

    Secondly, I have two daily drivers that sit...
  24. Re: Lake Country ThinPro Pads - 12 pack option?

    Just an update to this post since I recently called AG to inquire about why they don't offer the ThinPros in 12-packs... They said because there isn't enough demand for them.

    Also, the 12-packs of...

    Re: Road Grime Futility?

    Thanks to all of you for the input on this.

    To wrap up, here's my pseudo car care mission statement of sorts...

    For my daily driver situation, all of the three vehicles I take care live...
