    This is why you should always protect plastic....

    I learned this the hard way using a heat gun on my daily's wiper cowl. Got a little aggressive and warped it in spots. Impressive turn around!

    Top HD Speed with...

    I'm not being a smart a$$ by asking this question, I am genuinely curious. Why use a product like Speed if its going to be topped? Why not just use a dedicated polish and then apply the LSP? I currently use HD and Meguires abrasives, and I usually apply Colli 915 or 845 as my LSP. Is there an...

    HD Adapt

    I absolutely love it. I used it on my dark grey metallic truck a few months ago with white B&S pads. It had more cut than I was expecting given I was using polishing pads. It took out some pretty deep marring, and finished great. I went two passes on speed 6, then one pass on speed 3 using a...

    Collinite #845: The Definitive How-To Guide For This Legendary Wax

    :xyxthumbs: That's exactly what I do. My daily gets 2 coats of 476 for winter prep, and mid-winter I apply a quick coat of 845. I also use the DG rinseless and AW every other wash. Car still beads like crazy into April no problem.

    Fantastic work! I hate doing interior work, but love seeing threads with complete turn arounds like this!

    Blackfire Waterless Wash (new 1:48 formula) vs Meguiars D115

    +1 This is the most versatile product I have ever owned, IPA alternative, ww, rw, interior cleaner, etc. I love the stuff, and for the price it can't be beat.

    Getting wax off trim

    +1 Mother's B2B and a brush easily took care of some M101 that I got on trim that I carelessly taped off.

    Pick a tire dressing...

    2. TW ENDURASHINE COATING I am really impressed with this stuff, I used it for the first time about 5 rainy weeks ago on my daily and my tires still looked decent yesterday when I washed it. I put another coat of the TW on and they look just like they did after the initial 2 coats.

    D114 killed my UTTG+

    I've been getting about 1-2 months out of UTTG+ using the DG and ONR rw's weekly. That's why I'm surprised that a week old application was removed by D114.

    D114 killed my UTTG+

    I used Meg's D114 for the first time tonight and it destroyed the UTTG+ that I applied last week on all my trim. It pretty much removed it, leaving a little behind because the trim's surface was streaky and tacky. I had to clean all my trim and re-apply UTTG+. The D114 was @ 256:1. Has anyone...

    3.5mm paint on Mazda

    I'm just a weekend warrior, but I have used the KB method with 205 and a mf cutting pad and I would caution you to be careful with this combo if clear coat thickness is a concern. It cuts alot more than 205 and foam. I used it on a 2008 Toyota, and it cut a surprising amount, not as much as when...

    Help with DG 601 and 105...and maybe 601

    Re: Help with DG 601 and 105...and maybe 501 I don't believe so, your paint will take the characteristics of the Collinite as that would be the LSP. For example, on my truck I applied 111, and that has the candy shell look IMO, but I ended up topping it with colli 915 a couple weeks later...

    Help with DG 601 and 105...and maybe 601

    Re: Help with DG 601 and 105...and maybe 501 I would only use 501 if you need a stronger cleaner. I've found 105 to have mild cleaning ability but to be a very good sealant. If you were to use all 3 use 501/601, 105/601, then one of collis. But IMO using both 501 and 105 is redundant if you...

    DG 111 vs. road paint

    Last week I spent a few nights after work polishing my truck. My LSP was Duragloss 111, this being the first time I've used it. The morning after I finished, I got on the parkway, and unbeknownst to me and to my horror they were painting road lines! Needless to say, my stomach dropped when I saw...
