    Autogard vs Opticoat vs ToughSeal vs Ceramic Pro?

    Thanks a lot for your comments. If anyone else has any feedback on these products that would be great. Also thanks for the other suggestions to everyone, but I won't be applying any sealants or coatings myself. Cheers

    Autogard vs Opticoat vs ToughSeal vs Ceramic Pro?

    Thanks, I can't find much information on Autogard anywhere.. Have you used it? You're definitely right - I don't want to spend too much, but I do spend 1hr+ every weekend cleaning it properly (foam wash, pressure washer, microfibre only etc). I'm located in Sydney, Australia. I tried using...

    Autogard vs Opticoat vs ToughSeal vs Ceramic Pro?

    With regards to the paint protection, I applied Hydro2 wrong and now have some spots on my car so I'd prefer a professional buffs and preps it first and then applies the coating properly. Appreciate the suggestions though! I can't find Meguiars DUB Wheel Cleaner on any Aussie auto parts stores...

    Autogard vs Opticoat vs ToughSeal vs Ceramic Pro?

    Hi mate, I don't want to do it myself, I'd rather get a professional to do it even if it's a bit more expensive. Thinking about it, I don't particularly need a wheel cleaner that's available locally (I bought Sonax from eBay), but would like to find a cheaper alternative if possible... Cheers

    Autogard vs Opticoat vs ToughSeal vs Ceramic Pro?

    Hi guys, I've wanted to get paint protection on my car but I got quoted about $1100 for cQuartz just for the external and I'm not willing to pay that. I've since got the following quotes and just wondering what your thoughts are on the different products? I really didn't want to spend more than...

    Hydro2 left spots my new car + bike! Help?

    Hi guys, I applied Hydro2 on my 2 week old Mercedes and also my motorbike, and followed the instructions on the bottle (3:1) but it left spots on all the windows and sunroof, and I've had to use some Mothers Pure Polish to get it off. I've just rinsed my car a week later, and the spots on the...

    Marks on windows from Hydro2 :( HELP!!

    Hi Paul, Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it doesn't look like I can get that locally, and I also don't have a machine. I need something I can do by hand and a product I can easily source locally. Any ideas? I just want to get rid of these streaks and then I'll re apply Hydro2...

    Marks on windows from Hydro2 :( HELP!!

    See pics below. I haven't really tried anything because I didn't know where to start and didn't want to make it worse.

    Marks on windows from Hydro2 :( HELP!!

    So apparently you're supposed to mix 4 or 5:1, not 3:1 (which is what the bottle said). Also I think my main issue was that I did it in the sun (although it wasn't too hot) whereas it's supposed to be done in the shade. Looking through old posts, it looks like a lot of people make the same...

    Marks on windows from Hydro2 :( HELP!!

    Hi guys, I think I've applied too much CarPro Hydro2 and/or left it on too long on my 2 week old Mercedes C200 and now have streaks on my sunroof and most of my windows!! I rinsed it with the pressure washer for ages but couldn't clear it. Any tips? Also, I couldn't see any streaks or...

    Drying issues, and brake dust on wheels

    Thanks mate, so would you do the Autosol then wheel sealant together say every 2-3 months? Or is the Autosol required more or less often than the sealant? Cheers!!
