Larry K. (AMMO NYC Youtube Channel) has two very recent videos on PPF removal with hot water. One demo is on a Porsche 918, the other is a Ferarri 360.

Dan, I cut it 1:1 (with dist water). I find the biggest impact to be on cars that don't have any sort of protection. It really boosts the gloss after a routine wash. The owners always comment on how much better it looks.

Collinite

Dan, we bought a gallon of this maybe a year ago. We've put a pretty good dent in the jug. My son is using it all the time. Very nice result. I also bought a 5L jug of the Gyeon product, which is very good, and we've got several others. I got the Collinite version maybe 6 months ago and...

I periodically machine polish and also apply 303 to the rubber blades and let it sit overnight. I've also had terrific life span and performance from the premium BOSCH blades. Kinda getting away from the glass coatings after watching a BILT HAMBER video on the subject.

Good product choice. You should have no problem getting a year from it. I like the Carcoat EVO, very easy to work with.

Guys, it looks like Turtle Wax did an intro of their new "ceramic" product line in Arizona recently. Maybe 5 new SiO2 based products. I viewed on "Pan the Organizer" Youtube channel. (I`m not posting the link, easy to find.)

Armor Shield IX nano ceramic coating Guys, has anyone heard of this product? For some reason, my son felt compelled to buy it with his hard-earned $$. Appears to be straight out of China. He spent pretty much the entire day on his "new" car yesterday polishing and I got home just in time to...

Guys, we picked up this leftover 2016 KTM this past weekend. The gas tank (cover) is plastic and done in a satin black finish which I think is going to show everything. I don`t know if I should leave it alone or try to protect it/coat it? I don`t want to alter the appearance, I don`t want to...

I thought it was a bit "different".

A few fotos from this very well attended event:

I spent a bit of time freshening the single stage paint on my BMW bike this weekend. Somebody sent me a bottle of this American Shine California Clear Coat product about 12 years ago to sample. It seems like a glaze but I'm not really sure about that. The information on the bottle is very...

Having mentally transitioned to coatings and their related products, I'm gradually getting rid of all my "traditional" products. This Ultima shampoo is about 35% - 40% full: JEFFS Werkstat needs no introductions: Black, horizontal marker indicates fill level: I guess I'm looking for...

Thanks to Ronkh for inspiring me to try the Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Coating. It’s the fifth coating I’ve purchased and his review intrigued me. I wanted to get it on a couple of panels on my coating test bed, our ’06 A6 Audi wagon. I’ve already got some panels done with Duragloss’s...

I've been looking for a pre-filter for a while for my Shop Vac.  As the washable Gore-tex filter ages, it seems like it's plugging up more frequently.  I've washed it a fair number of times  - - perhaps that's partially responsible for its diminished performance.    I stumbled upon these...
