I have been using it for about 5 years. I have compared it to many other coatings and waxes. Still the best I have used. "Find a product you like and use it often".

Been using it for at least 4 years on Canadian salted car. My method works both winter and summer. 2 buckets, sponge wash, rinse sponge in second bucket, drying towel to dry. I then wash my drying towels after and repeat. Car is 2001 and no rust issues on body. I think ONR is better than hose...

Why not follow the manufactures recomendations? 60 to 70 degrees seems to be the norm.

Have used lots. Let dry 15 minutes wipe off. Takes 3 to 4 hours to "cure" but who knows.

You need the dye to cover these. Have it done by an automotive leather installer shop. They will clean the cracks and apply the dye. After use a leather protectant sold here to restore shine.

You can do small spots all the time. You need a polisher for 2' x 2' sections to be effective. Megs Ultimate Compound and Ulitimate Polish on a soft microfiber pad (they are blue about 5 ") work great.

Tire blooming (turns brown) for me was on new Firestone tires. Showed up about 2 weeks after installed. APC and stiff brush removed most. Applied dressing. One week later blooming back. Strong degreaser and stiff brush removed. Tire dressing applied. One week later brown - time to break...

Black ThinPro has zero cut. Finish polish only. Speed doesn't really matter, but 4 is easy to control. I use same arm speed for most applications and number of passes to get job done. As always do a couple of test spots to get the results you want.

No the clear will stay the way it is. Actually there is no clear there and what you see is the basecoat. You will need to basecoat the burn through and then clear the whole panel. It is impossible to blend clear coat within the panel (body line).

Here here to that. Used to to do it and real pain-much easier by hand.

Lacquer Thinner or Window Washer Fluid if it is latex paint. Key is to put some on cloth or paper towel and let soak for awhile. Then wipe off. Unfortunately it is small sections at a time and will take awhile. On wheel wells you can be a bit more agressive with the solvents and still get...

All good advice here. If I clay and it still feals rough, I sand it with 3000 grit Trizact 3" pads. Repeat the claying to check. Can do only because is my DD and have lots of clear.

This post kills me. Spider web syndrome? I guess you could vacuum them off if you really need to.

I don"t get the risk of dust damageing paint. Surley waxed or sealed paint can resist the "dust" no matter what it is. Blasting it off or wiping it off is no different than if it rains on the car and you drive it on the hiway. The paint is designed to resist such wear snd tear. I don't get...

I live in South Western Ontario Canada. Opti-Seal will last the whole winter no problem. Easy to apply but should have paint as good as you want before use. In spring repeat.
