Looks great! How does this perform below/at the waterline? My main goal is creating protection at the waterline, defense against the scum line which is especially nasty this time of year at my lake. Thanks!

I looked up this Nanoskin Shield stuff... - that video was from 2009 - its not a product listed on their web site - they do list a product "Glass Molecule" that must be applied with a spray gun, maybe shield is an adaptation of that? - the web site is littered with buzzwords, it's a bit...

I tried the Wolf's version, which appears to be a similar product to the Griots. It was a neat idea and I use it from time to time. The negatives are it's kind of difficult to remove without using a lot of water, which makes it tough if you want to remove with waterless wash. It also...

I currently use UWW+, ONR, etc. to keep bugs off as much as possible. However if the car leaves the garage during love bug season, some bugs are going to spend at least "some" time on the car. For example I took a 6 hour road trip and got killed by bugs last weekend, unless I pulled over...

We always talk about durability in terms in how long a LSP lasts, how many weeks or months. But what about durability in terms of it's resistance to things like bugs and water spots? It's love bug season in FL and this had me thinking. Does something like BFWD or 845 provide better...

Can you get a mobile license by chance? I know in my area government is pretty harsh on home based businesses in which a customer would come to your house. If you go to the customer, not really a big deal. Once you have a mobile license, you're licensed to work anywhere, arguably...

Part of the concern for me is bugs sitting on the front bumper. I was thinking a heartier wax/coating would buy you additional margin of safety if you cant get those bugs off immediately. Is that logical? I don't know the science of exactly how fast bugs eat through LSP's, or if certain...

Curious, does anyone ever use a different LSP Or coating on areas that get especially dirty/buggy, then use a beauty wax om the rest of the car? For example, apply Opticoat, Wolfs Hard Body, or Colonite 845 on the front and rear bumpers, as well as the side rocker panels. Then apply Souveran...

This is the equivalent of a mechanic telling you that your flux capacitor is broken. :bash: Just read through this, these guys should spend more time detailing and less time decorating their lounge. Sorry this happened, good luck!

I know I'm a month late on this thread, but maybe I can put some of my useless BMW knowledge to use. Citrin black metallic is a "BMW Individual" color. It came as part of a ~8k option package for F01 7 series cars. BMW Individual is sort of like BMW's custom shop. If a guy in Dubai...

This picture is SICK! You need to hang a sign "wet paint, don't touch" Great job.

time to go to one of those high-school charity car washes and let the dawn do it's thing

The X marking is a good idea. I'll probably mark a few. Thanks for all the feedback everyone -- I guess I was hoping there was some sort of magic "soak" that would be more aggressive, but no luck. This kind of got me thinking -- As far as tossing them if they hit the ground (assuming...

eh...I was afraid of that. I need to raise my 'paint microfiber' hamper to a spot where my 18mo daughter can't get to it.

I managed to get some debris (small leaves and larger grit) in my ultra-plush/long nap MF towels. I washed with microrestore, and the debris did not come out. Is there a better way to get this out? Right now I'm just doing it by hand. I tried combing with a fine comb and it doesn't seem...
