    chemical for small rust spot?

    I was going over my car yesterday and saw a very small chip in the paint which actually had a little tiny rust spot on it ( about the size of the largest area of a toothpick). Naturally I don't want this spot getting any larger, so i'm just wondering what I can do without having to sand. Yes, I...

    Going to try 22PLE, need to remove opti-coat... opinions?

    The beading has become more than relaxed on the sides of my car now and so it doesn't even look like anything is on there. I know the OC is still there, but I want to get opinions on what would be best for ensuring all OC is off of my paint before applying the new coating. I have the...

    wax and sealant test over OC, can your eyes tell the difference?

    Ok, so over the last week I had cleaned my car and decided today to try some of the products I have here. These are in no particular order, and while I realize the pics are taken at different angles and such, I tried to make the test as fair as possible, so there are multiple shots of each one...

    How much marring have you had with OC?

    I'm just wondering since we know that wash marring will eventually happen. Some faster than others. I'm going to go over my car soon with Menzerna SF and a blue pad and then reapply. I'm actually just curious once I turn the lights on what I might be looking at. I do the 2 bucket method with...

    Has anyone used Gtechniq EXO v2?

    I've read a few things about it, but just wondering if anyone here has actually used it or knows much about it?

    Does unused opti-coat have any issues with temperature change?

    I had left my unused OC that was still in the syringe in my garage and while it doesn't get to freezing temps out there, it gets pretty cold. It doesn't seem to have any problems when on the car, but what about unused?

    What are the most common minerals in city/town water?

    I don't even bother washing my car in this little sh*thole town because we have town water and it spots my car almost instantly. My mother lives about 20-25 min away, but she has well water and it doesn't leave embedded water spots on my glass etc. I don't want to get a deionizer pressure washer...

    Will powerlock stick ok after using ONR QD?

    Doing some layering on our honda just to see how it looks. So far the look has improved a lot just with the second layer. Either way, I don't get the chance to layer one right after the next, so I just soak each panel and wipe it down with ONR, and then add another layer of PL over it. Will it...

    what is your absolute favorite towel for removing your polishing residue and LSP's?

    I'm just curious. I was using the cobra brand for a long time. I'm thinking of something else now though, as the last time I noticed a little bit of marring on a jeweled finish.

    Do people with money neglect their cars more?

    You know the saying "you can't hide money".. well in most cases no, you can't. Especially if they are driving a high dollar car. Do you all think that people with money actually neglect their car more just assuming that since they have plenty of money that they can just pay someone to do the...

    Which super sealant do YOU prefer?

    With all of the debates in the other threads, I thought I would start one just about this instead of thead hi-jacking (sorry guys). Which ones have you used? What did you like or not like about it? Which one do you prefer the most and why? The only one I have used has been the OC, which...

    22PLE ... any experience with it?

    I had no idea about the stuff until I went on the forums pro section and saw it. It says the appearance is very glassy which is what i'm after. Has anyone used it or seen it or anything?

    Guardian?

    My mother bought a car about 4 or so months ago. She bought the "paint" protection. I explained to the woman that I detailed cars and that no one in her shop likely knew how to prep the paint the way I did and that I would likely apply OC to the paint anyway. She understood and said that we...

    Hardest non super sealant?

    I'm just wondering... i've had OC on my car for a while now, but i'd like to maybe go back to a sealant. I know Klasse is pretty hard stuff. I always had good luck with Collinite 915 when layered as well. Suggestions?

    Wolf's Bodywrap, how scratch resistant is it?

    I know this isn't an OC, Cquartz or Hardbody type of scratch resistance, but how well does this hold up to wash marring, maybe mediocre towels, etc? I'm debating on removing the OC from the sides of my car and replacing it with something that has a bit more slickness. I understand HB stays...

    Has anyone here tried Wolf's Hardbody?

    I'm just wondering if anyone has used it in comparison to OC or Cquartz/aquartz? If so, how did it do?

    beginning to dislike opti-coat

    The durability of this stuff is obviously amazing, it's easy to apply and it has protected my cheap subaru paint from a lot of chips, sandblasting, etc. HOWEVER, the water spots are becoming a real issue for me now. It's not those little ones, but those that are deeper down into the paint. I...

    Is there a way to make leather creases relax?

    Working on an older car... the leather is actually in pretty good shape, but just years of use and such it has a lot of small creases (not cracking though). I don't do interiors often... I just choose not to, but this person has requested it. The only things I have are Meg's cleaner and...

    Having issues with pitting

    I'm working on some old Ford paint... I guess this was before everything was water based.. either way... I have made several passes with some different pad/polish combos. I have gone as low as using Power Gloss with a Meg's red cutting pad and they still are not coming out, as well as a few...

    Has anyone polished their opti-coat to add another layer?

    I was considering doing this to my car as when I wash it, it looks good, but there are some areas that just don't bead the same... like there's not much there or something. I know I did it properly though. If anyone has done a second coat later on after the finish had cured... how did it turn...
