I have many decades into waxing and polishing my cars...After reading about coatings I'm looking to apply one... I don't know the level of experience that it takes to apply Duragloss "successfully" Can a person with some experience with waxing & polishing do it properly... I have a...

None of my cordless tools are as good at what they do as my corded ones...and you have to screw with chargers and batteries that loose there charging ability...For 25 years I've used the same electric Toro leaf blower....I finally broke down and purchased another Toro...the old one still does...

You are really going to like the 845. I`ve been using it and have worked out a few things to make it easier. I went to Michaels, it`s a national hobby type shop and purchased 6 squeez flip top 2 oz. plastic bottles [ about $5 for all]. These are small and very easy to handle. Warm the 845 up in...

HAHA I keep getting those numbers mixed up. I used to buy the products in bottles with a name not numbers at the store until coming here and finding out if I bought them in the large sizes I could save a lot I use the 156 synthetic and the 135 which is the detailer. All great stuff. Yea it`s...

I found 2-16oz. bottles of Collinite 845 for $15.00 shipped..It will last me for years since it only takes less than a ounce to do my car. I found 845 with Megs 151 spray wax the perfect match for me. I spray wax every 2 weeks and use Megs 156 [ I believe that`s the number] of the quick...

It`s simple Collinite 845, easy to use lasts and lasts, wonderful protection. I did a test used 5 waxes 3 on the hood and 2 on the trunk. A week later Iwashed the car and asked 4 friends what areas were the best looking and what did they think I used to wax. no one could tell any difference and...

I never could understand why people liked rinseless washes, they are a waste of time as far as I`m concerned. I do understand there are people living in places where water is a problem, so that`s the only thing that works. As you say bad break dust and around wheel wells is just to much for that...

If you what you say is true and I have no reason to believe it isn`t, then why do we have so many people that say most all of the waxes/sealants one can buy don`t last very long? 2 to 6 or 8 weeks except for some of the new paint coatings which last longer. Based on your theory they should...

Well, all that is needed is about 1100/1200psi. I`m sure your pw. is way above that so unless you can reduce the psi it may be dangerous for your paint. If you have to use it get farther away and never let the direction of the spray get to 90 degrees always use at a angle to the car.

You didn`t tell us what your customer had to say after seeing what a super job you did to get the abused Vette looking very very good again. He`s a believer now I`ll bet.

I`m sure your customer is doing a dance based on your outcome. Looks to me to be showroom ready once again. Quality work.

I still think the wheels should brighten things up, not a fan of dark wheels. BBS always look like they belong on BMW`s and in this case they look good, so #2 is my choice, I always seem to pick the wheels that are the biggest PITA to clean and here I go again, because BBS are a pain to keep...

Well I used to buy all small sizes of everything, UNTIL COMING HERE!, now I have gallon and mega sizes of everything and by the way I saved a lot of money buying big! So my cabinet wasn`t the size for all the supplies so I put in cabinets that arn`t as deep so things wouldn`t get buried and...

Any idea this guy isn`t responsible is not correct. It`s his bed frame and he was responsible to place it in such a manner that it didn`t damage someones property. Now collecting may be the problem because the damages don`t rise to the level that you could go to court. I guess you could be as...

Very cool...I wonder how wax/sealant, compound/polish, surfaces look once applied, or bare paint before/ after application..I`m wondering if anything can be learned when comparing surfaces before and after application?
