Jetseal 109 is easier to use but there are much easier to use products on the market if ease of use is a primary criteria. Collinite 476 completely owns Jetseal for durability. The looks are...
As noted above Optimum Car Wax is extremely easy to use but it can streak and doesn't offer much in the way of a waxed look. Among paste waxes Lusso Oro and Blackfire Midnight Sun are the two...
I'm also in the anti layering camp. I have limited experience with layering waxes over sealants (the BF system and various Collinites over Duragloss 105) but I have not seen significant increases in...
I don't remember GEP as being a huge filler but truth be told I never liked it and haven't used it for quite a while. I thought it was mostly just a mediocre chemical paint cleaner. I vastly prefer...
There is no general rule, it is product specific. Some waxes and sealants you can even apply outside in light rain while other may ask for dry conditions for (optimally) 48 hours or more during and...
Aphids secrete a substance euphemistically referred to as "honeydew." I don't tend to see quantities of aphids on oaks but then there are many species of oaks (and aphids) and it isn't like I'm...
The Dawn story appears to clearly trace back to a misconstrued comment from Zaino. I would call that a relatively benign misunderstanding, I certainly don't think Zaino was getting kickbacks from...
Just to offer another set of data points/opinions here is my take on some of the products under discussion:
Optimum Opti-Seal (I've only used v.1 not the newer revision that is said to be more...
I don't know the local cultural or legal structure but this seems completely over the top to me.
It seems like the owner of PortoVino ought to be making a claim against the owner(s) of the events...
That is a question that can't be answered with any accuracy. I've never used Costco towels but I'm dubious that I'd let them anywhere near paint. The vast majority of my good towels are Korean or...
I suspect you'll find quite few different MF wash "systems" here but this is what I do:
I separate washing and drying towels/pads/mitts from anything that has had contact with sealants, coatings or...
I don't have an issue with companies producing multiple coatings and coating toppers. They vary by look, by ease of application, by longevity, by hardness, by water behavior, etc. Anyone waiting...
It has been several years since I last used Rain X and perhaps the formula has changed but it only ever lasted about three weeks for me. I get about nine months from GTechniq G1. I do agree that G1...
For the M105 & M205 PakShak Silver Surfers are excellent as are the 350 gm Microfiber Tech Edgeless (the same towel is sold under several other labels). I haven't used the Microfiber Madness Yellow...
There seem to be a huge number of people out there with far more money than brains.
Hot hatchbacks with an inch or so of drop I can appreciate but radical drop/stanced anything is a travesty. The...
Duragloss 531, nopareil in this application. It has UV protection and mildew reistance made to stand up to marine applications. Ultima Tire and Trim Guard is also good but 531 is my preferred...
Ingot Silver is probably your best bet for low maintenance followed by Sterling Gray. Personally, I really like Deep Impact Blue but it will involve more upkeep to keep it looking good than the...
He's not being "angry and defensive," he's just telling you the situation. Active links to other vendors or to other forums are not smiled upon here. Personally, I could care less but this isn't my...
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of layering, especially with diverse products, but I don't see anything in Dr G's comments that would suggest that you can't layer polyethylene-acrylics. Conventional...
Per ski2 and EVOlved you'd do well to get a 5" backing plate and use 5.5" pads.
Like EVOlved the green B&S pad is probably my most used for correction although harder paints and serious flaws call...
Both Wolf's Chemicals (The Mask) and Griot's Garage (Bug Barricade) make temporary spray-on coatings for road trips. I've never used either one but they might worth a look. Supposedly they both...
