    2017 Honda Get's Rolled Back

    Looks good. It really does look like a different color after the work.

    2019 BMW X5 - Mineral White - Gtechniq CSL & EXO V4

    I am sorry for the Urinary Olympic Event but you are still misreading and mischaracterizing my post which isn't helping you, me, or anyone else reading. Yes, I became annoyed when "these products" started to fail. "These products" are clearly listed: "Polish Angel Cosmic V2, Xtreme Solutions...

    2019 BMW X5 - Mineral White - Gtechniq CSL & EXO V4

    Quite possible. If that's the case I'll adjust in the future but I did have a bit of GSF in there as well.

    Who said or even implied anything about UK not being a legit coating? I don't think you read my post ;)

    Another German Beauty gets the business

    Very nice. The X3 M40i is surprisingly fast for what it is. My wife and I drove one before getting her X5 and we were both astonished when we put our foot in it.

    2019 BMW X5 - Mineral White - Gtechniq CSL & EXO V4

    I haven't had anything to post here in a while but finally got a long-awaited detail done on my wife's car. We took delivery of our 2019 X5 at the Performance Center in Spartanburg (incredible experience, highly recommended) in Feb. 2019. Since then I've been playing with shorter duration...

    Do stones "bounce off" PPF, and not leave a mark?

    We got my wife a 2019 X5 in mineral white. In a year of ownership we got more stone chips than we had in the ENTIRE 7 previous years with our Acura MDX. I guess it's a combination of the paint and the way the air flows over the car. Anyway we got XPEL PPF and other than one hit from debris on...

    Master blaster - who uses?

    I use a Master Blaster. For a full contactless dry, it works great on my car with ceramic coating but not so great on a car with a traditional LSP that's anything other than fresh. For example, my wife's car, which has a traditional sealant on it, I can only do a full contactless dry for the...

    Iron cleaning products vs wheel cleaners?

    You've had multiple people answer your question. Put it together... If the wheels are really dirty, Brake Buster If the wheels are moderately or lightly dirty and/or coated, Iron X Agitation will likely be needed, use a wash soap that has surfactants and lubricity for this, not expensive...

    Iron cleaning products vs wheel cleaners?

    I used Brake Buster neat and would give the rotors a quick mist after cleaning the wheels. No rust would form, just a dull residue. Hyde's Serum is even better, the rotor maintains a shiny metal finish. With either one of those products, no rust dust on the wheels after driving away.

    Iron cleaning products vs wheel cleaners?

    Yeah I do, too. The thing is if I don't treat them after cleaning the wheels they get a fine film of rust (not yet enough to make dust on the wheels) BUT after hitting the car with the foam cannon and then a contact wash, by the time I get back to dry it that rust will have increased to the...

    Iron cleaning products vs wheel cleaners?

    It's not a gimmick because I don't want that rust ending up on my wheel(s) by having the pad abrade it off into dust. It can turn into a horrible mess esp. if the car sees light moisture and then re-dries onto the rim. I can assure you 100% that treating the rotor makes a big difference in my...

    Iron cleaning products vs wheel cleaners?

    You're not reading the totality of my posts. The vast majority of the time I do agitate...with a bucket of wash water and my assortment of brushes and mitt. Pre-treat with Iron X and blast with pressure washer= ~85+% clean Agitate with wash water and dedicated tools= 100% clean The rust...

    Iron cleaning products vs wheel cleaners?

    I'm not sure why you're concerned with lubricity. You shouldn't need to directly agitate the wheel cleaner on your wheel, or, if you do, it would be on a second application. You really want to blast off the majority of dirt and grit before agitating no matter what. I happen to hit it with the...
