  1. Re: Review - McKee's 37 Tire Coating - "New Formula"

    And, that is in line with the many reviews I read - that applied to the older formula. Like I said, the first question McKee's asked was if the bottle I got had the new sticker. At that point, he...
  2. Re: Review - McKee's 37 Tire Coating - "New Formula"

    I'm pretty confident I did. I used more than half a bottle of their cleaner/rejeuvenator making three/four rounds of product and scrubbing with a small Mequiar's tire brush, following the...
  3. Re: Review - McKee's 37 Tire Coating - "New Formula"

    Could not see a way to edit this, but I wanted to provide some follow up. I had purchased this on a different site and written a review of my experience there. Since it was less than a five star...
  4. Re: Review - McKee's 37 Tire Coating - "New Formula"

    Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel is what is working for me. Can't speak to the durability, but it gives me the look I want, which is reasonably flat dark black, like good tire rubber should be. No shiny,...

    Re: Caring for new (to me) aluminum wheels

    There is no "best" route for a set of painted wheels. Depends on time, budget, and what you know. Once cleaned, they can be protected with a sealant, wax, or coating. Pros and cons to all options....

    Re: what do u guys think of this foam gun

    Not familiar with that unit. Hard to see how it mounts, or is triggered. It looks like one that snaps into/requires a pressure washer, compared to one that hooks into a garden hose. "pretty decent...

    Re: Tools to polish behind door handles??

    I have found using Mr. Clean Magic Eraser useful in this tight spot, with a detailer, or whatever level of action you need - depends on the needs as to what I go for next. This is a very fine foam...
  8. Re: Chemical Guys C9 Carbon Flex Trim Coating review

    Yes, good question - follow up on durability?
  9. Re: Review - McKee's 37 Tire Coating - "New Formula"

    After trying a couple of other products, I gave this one a try recently. I prefer more of a deep matte black for tires. Reviews I read seem to suggest this might be the winner for me. Anything but....

    Re: headlights

    Almost none of the products out there will last like you wish they would - but if you wash wisely, you should be able to keep them protected, so as to prevent the corrective work again. That said,...

    Re: Work light question

    I prefer 5000K and fewer lumens, since too bright is a problem, but a color shift makes it harder to see the color correctly. I recently tweaked my mobile setup and it's worked out really well. I...
  12. Re: Best Products for Quick Detailing at a Dealership

    Another vote for the Meguiar's professional detail products. These are sold by the gallon, but work great. If you could only have two, for the outside of the car, I would go with their X-press Spray...

    Re: Quick detailer to remove streaks?

    Sorry for the shorthand. IPA stands for IsoPropyl Alcohol. It is typically sold in either 50%, 70%, or 91% concentrations. These are far too strong to use straight. Here is a thread on how to mix...

    Re: Best glaze for darker cars

    We are a family of three black vehicles, though each is different. That said, CG Blacklight is a useful glaze that minimizes the micro stuff. Useful if you are going to follow up with a good wax for...

    Re: Quick detailer to remove streaks?

    Depending on what is causing the "streaks," it might be wiser to wipe with a 10% IPA and fresh MF towel, since most detailers may introduce chemicals that hinder compound or polishing work.

    Re: Suggestions for quick wipe down?

    I've been investing in waterless wash options for awhile. I started using a good spray bottle, but I moved to a small (1.0 liter-sized) pump sprayer, as it makes it easier to apply a generous amount...
