Any advice on Expel vs Ceramic for bird dripping protection? I have both on my car and have yet to have any bird dropping not cleaned off within an hour. I have a friend with a new car that just had droppings buffed out and doesn't want to worry about it again. They now keep QD in the car and...

My Gtechnic Halo and hybrid (half my car is expel) says to wait 12 hours before introducing water. What about toppers? Do I need to wait longer.

Thanks Mike and all. Kind of what I thought, but nice to get confirmation.

Maybe this has been asked before, but what happens to ceramic coating as it ages? Obviously it loses some of its magic, but do you just add a new coat on top as it ages? I have used ceramic before, but never kept a car long enough to have it wear out. Getting ready to install gtechnic Halo to my...

It didn’t occur to me that the finish would be important. I went back to the factory specs and they are indeed painted with a clear coat.

Well I should have mentioned that the aluminum wheels must have some type of clear coat since it’s a brand new Corvette C8. I can’t believe that it’s just bare metal. Should’ve mentioned that up front.

Need a coating for my wheels. I'm looking for durability above all else. It's for the inside barrel portion of my wheels. They are aluminum. Something that is going to make it easier to keep them clean. The shine is not as important as durability, since taking off each wheel to coat them is not...

Is there a product sold in this store to clean oil stains off concrete and asphalt driveways? I looked in the product selection and did a search, but can't find anything. Thanks in Advance. Al

I HATE rock chips and have used the above method for about 15 years. It's not quick, but done carefully, this yields the most undetectable repair have found. I'm surprised no one has mentioned "Langka". This has been my go to for chip repairs when I don't use the above method. I find it much...

I have a 2003 Avalanche and I have used Refinish Restorer to treat the plastic for about 5 years. (Can't understand why this site won't carry it) Lately it doesn't bring backthe black as well on some parts. I used Splution Finish yesterday and like the results. After it dries, I was going to put...

Another question, is the rinseless just for washing with water, or do you use it like your waterless?

That's what I went with, but I parted it out since I only use edgeless towels. Looking forward to receiving them in a week or so.

After reading up more and more about waterless car washes, I'm ready to start using them. For my use, they seem like a natural. My questions are this: 1) What type of spray bottles do you use for products you need to dilute? I'm a fan of Blackfire products and was going to buy a couple of...

I bought a 2006 Z06 a few months ago. It came with a custom fitted Z06 cover. My concern is that the previous owner didn't always dust the car off before covering it. I polished out the finish that had a lot of fine scratches. I'm worried that the inside of the cover may be contaminated with...

I'm in no way an expert, but I have an 06 red Vette. I am seriously picky about the finish. I can speak for my one effort only. The Meg 105 with my flex, took out just about everything but actual scratches. I polished those scratches till the cows came home and they wouldn't come out. I used...
