    Too Many Coatings Choices

    I can apply it inside with a little rearranging in my garage. But outside would certainly be easier. Good question and suggestion!

    Too Many Coatings Choices

    I’m liking what I am seeing on both of those, and am considering doing the sic on top of the uk. As mentioned above, my only concern is how much darker they will make the blue look. Did you use either of those on the blue Jeep in your avatar?

    Too Many Coatings Choices

    Thanks Guz! Awesome info! Interesting that you noted several of the coatings darken the paint. The truck is an F150 with Antimatter Blue paint. It is on order and due to be built later this month, so most of my experience with this color is from what I see and read on the web, and briefly...

    Too Many Coatings Choices

    Just watched the application video for the Gyeon Cancoat Evo on the AG website. Looks incredibly easy to apply. They only advertise 6-12 month longevity in the video (up to 6 months according to the AG product description), but as simple as it seems to apply, I can certainly handle 2x per...

    Too Many Coatings Choices

    I could use a little help picking out a coating for a new truck. I think I want a ceramic coating, but I’m open to other options. There are so many choices, I’m just not sure which way to go. The truck is dark blue metallic, and will pretty much live in the Florida sun. I’m looking for...

    Really Stubborn Bug Guts

    Thanks for the help and replies. The WD40 did seem to help a bit. But as several of you mentioned, my paint is etched. Pretty bad. I will break out the polisher and see how much I can fix.

    Keeping cats off truck

    We have a feral cat problem too, so I feel your pain. Luckily ours only go under the vehicles and not on them. I don’t know how effective they would be, but maybe some battery operated motion actuated lights or sirens set on your vehicle? May only take a little while to train the cats to stay...

    Really Stubborn Bug Guts

    No, I have not tried that. I have tried tar remover, which seemed to help a little, but didn’t get all of it. I will give WD40 a shot. Thanks!

    Using A Pressure Washer

    I occasionally use a PW and foam gun to cover my truck with thick sudsy soap, but use a regular hose for rinsing. As already said, use a wide angle nozzle and don’t get very close to the vehicle. Also, I’ve had nozzles pop out of the gun due to not being seated properly (operator error). So...

    Really Stubborn Bug Guts

    I admit I haven’t been diligent about keeping my truck clean recently. I am trying to whip it back into shape, but I have a section in the front that has been pelted with love bugs and I just can’t seem to get them off. I don’t have much trouble getting them off the painted metal, but there is...

    BOGOs?

    Thanks for the replies, but that is disappointing. I often bought things only if I could sweeten the deal with a bogo or two. i hope the outlet has some great deals. I haven't really checked it out yet.

    BOGOs?

    I've been away from the site for a while, mostly to avoid the temptation to buy more products before I use up my already excessive supply. I also stopped getting emails from Autogeek for some reason, so that also lessened the urge to visit the site. Anyway, just hopped back on to see what new...

    Ink on leather

    Well, I tried again with full strength APC, and I think it worked a little. Then I tried the Ink Remover again, and then APC again. Between the combination I got it about 90% removed. I dont have a steamer, but maybe I can wet a rag with the APC and heat it in the microwave? Hopefully that...

    Ink on leather

    The LM Ink Remover and MK37 APC showed up yesterday, so I went to work on the seat last night. First I tried the Ink Remover. It says it works best on ink that is 2-5 days old. My ink was 4 days old, so it was "in the window". Didn't put a dent in it. Next I gave the APC a shot. I mixed it...

    Ink on leather

    Excellent! I ordered that earlier today! I was looking in the wrong section yesterday. I also order the Leather Masters Ink Remover. It was cheap enough that I figured it was worth a try.
