    Re: Have you ever coated air vents? ($10,000 detail in Chicago)

    I’ll have to go back and look, wasn’t paying attention.

    I guess I know what to do with excess DLUX.




    The microfiber applicators don’t absorb that much. They also spread out product better than a suede block. Give the Autofiber microfiber saver applicators a try. They are legit and save product.
    I want to try the Autofiber applicators. I keep meaning to pick up,some. They are different from the microfiber applicators he was using in the video. I use that type to apply dressings or sealants rather than the round yellow applicators. I never tried them for coatings as I thought they would absorb more liquid. Good to know!

    Just a thought on coating applicators. I’ve been buying coatings from Japan and the come with a block type applicator, no suede microfiber. I haven’t tried them yet, just thought it was strange. Asia has been in the coating game longer than the US. Modesta is a Japanese coating.

    Well that is some video. Can’t see how the owner thinks it’s worth 10k but some people have so much
    Money they don’t know what to do with it I guess.

    Paul Dalton I think you have some competition in Chicago.

    If somebody wants it done and can`t DIY it I can see it being worth the $10K. I do wonder about how nice the owner will keep it though...I`d be interested to see it in a few years after it has some miles of use on it.
