Barf-alo!!! We don't care if it snows, just don't go for the last wing or I'll break your arm ;)

pictures?

doing a proper wash, debug/detar, decon (i.e., iron-x, etc.), wash, clay, wash, your going to be into a couple hrs right there. A DA would make the process go a lot faster, but you'd be hard pressed to get 'er done in 2 hrs. I'm not trying to pee on your parade, just trying to share my limited...

I am a neophyte but have a 2010 vw reflex silver and can tell you that it is very hard clear coat. Also difficult to see minor imperfections so easy to do whole car in day they see the less easy to see imperfections under a strong light at night. I've only done my car once, and am getting...

taking off the bumper is a 10 minute job. About 8 screws below and four in each wheel well. There is a nice DIY at the vortex website, but it is really easy and nearly as easy to put back on (one man job). Best way to access headlights. However, you can just tape off the area around the...

The trick is not in getting old hazy headlight covers clear, it's keeping them from hazing back up two dayz later due to lack of UV coating. I'm sure her son is proud of his mum's video ;)

I applied it to my Jetta for first time last fall. It def needs done again, so I suppose 4-5 months. Water still beads but not like it did right after app. Just keep it away from any dark plastic areas as it is near impossible to get off of them (tape them up).

I use wg sealant and it works well. many other products out there.

I encountered same issue last year after using the product for the first time. tried cleaning with pad cleaner and made a mess. Now I just keep it sealed in a zip lock for the next app.

I did my first full exterior detail late last year using wg products (swirl removal/finishing glaze/paint sealant) all applied w/do polisher except for the paint sealant which I did by hand. during the winter had an accident and had the hood and fender repainted. For the spring, I was just...

I'm not trying to be argumentative, so I'll just leave it at this. The picture you provided is exactly what I'm talking about. I agree with you that the reflection of the tree looks more crisp on the right (opti) than the left (spar), but I see no discernible color difference between the two...

I admit that you did an awesome job. 7 hrs ? really

No, nor did I say it did What state are you in? (Edit: I saw Buffalo, NY) UV Index | SunWise | US EPA Agreed to a point. UV index would be a large contributing factor to the life span of a coating, but there are others that are just as important (i.e., we have acid rain which you do not)...

Not sure why your mix has brown tint (contamination?) but I have just applied to my headlights this spring and as a result of my own doing (painters tape) I have a few spots of where the coating has come off. What this does is give me a perfect opportunity to see if there is any discoloration...

A little tough to see so far away. Looks nice though :)
