Just got mine. Came in 2 boxes. Opened first one and nada. Opened second one and peeking out in the corner was my new shiny toy :)

At the Chemical Guys store, they have overstock shelves with tons of good stuff for a fraction of the normal price. Good opportunity to sample new products

I have a tub of Light Fantastic that I've only used twice available for trade if interested. I hardly use it ever since I picked up Fuzion. Let me know as I'm pretty much willing to offload it less.

The beam pattern isn't optimal as I mentioned this is just a test and the LED is actually composed of 4 smaller forward facing diodes. I'm going to make an LED with a single large forward diode, and an LED with a single large forward diode and 360 degree side facing diodes to reflect in the...

The LEDs I used were 12v canbus LEDs with built in resistors. Lit right up. They were wedge 194 LEDs which obviously don't fit correctly, but I think H6W variation would work. I also found yesterday at the local Big Lots they have the same dual light type Brinkmann halogen flashlight for $10 and...

I actually just swapped the bulbs to LEDs. Was bored one day and took everything apart, had some spare LEDs laying around, found the negative and positive terminals, soldered wire to the LEDs, and wrapped them around the body terminals. Worked great. Was just a test unit and I'm going to make...

Awesome. I had a question on how this would look on my new matte wheels. Now I know it'll maintain the matte look. Definitely will be ordering some now. Avi, how much do you think it should take to cover 4 wheels?

Yeah, I've applied 845, Opti-seal, and poorboy's wheel sealant on matte black and matte gold wheels before and it gave it slight more of a sheen on it, but still maintained the matte appeal. That's why I was hoping that Opti-Coat or CQuartz could offer the same effect, but more durable...

So most every post on CQuartz and Opti-Coat 2.0 have been dealing with normal car body paint. My question is how it effects the look on matte colors? I have a new set of wheels coming in that are matte and was thinking it would be a great opportunity to coat it while they were prestine. However...

no more than 2

Which is more durable for areas such as wheels? I've got a new set being forged and would like to give them either a CQuartz treatment or Opticoat 2.0 prior to mounting. All talk about durability has been pretty much about just paint, not wheels. They'll be powder coated with clear coated...

Interesting...looks like standard T10 bulbs from the picture. I'm going to play around with swapping a T10 LED bulb in one of the sockets. That way I can alternate between the two types of lighting to spot defects.

HD has the clear(ish) bucket with measurements along the side, as well as their normal homer buckets. Go to their cleaning aisle.
