Hi Bob: Correct - I will be applying CQuartz UK this time around. I have some 205 and will give that a try; my only concern is that it would not have enough cut to remove whatever remains from the original 2.0 application. I will give it a try though! Thanks! John

Back in 2014, I polished out my wife's 2014 black Nissan Rogue and applied Opti-Coat 2.0. It has performed well, but I'm ready to do a full detail and apply a new coating. I'd like to avoid a two-step polish; any suggestions on a one step product that can remove what is left of the coating as...

I want to win Blackfire!

Last spring I installed opti coat 2.0 on the textured plastic trim on two of my vehicles. This spring I'd like to give dlux a whirl; has anyone transitioned from opticoat to dlux? Do I need to do any special prep?

Got a scratch/ding in the paint on my bumper. The body shop said short of a respray, my best bet would be to hit it with a tiny bit of touch up paint and learn to live with it. I don't want to do a respray, but I am wondering what--if anything--could be done to improve the appearance?

Hello Geeks: I have Opti-Coat 2.0 installed on my GLI. I'm doing winter prep and I am wondering if I can hit it with a fine grade opti eraser prior to poli-seal. Thoughts?

Hello Auto Enthusiast Friends: I just picked up a black 2014 VW GLI. Since the weather in Chicago is terrible right now and I don't have a heated garage, I can't do a wash on my own. Anyone have a business or shop that can promise me a swirl free wash? You may gain a customer for all of the...

Just picked up a black on black 2014 GLI and I am going to coat it this weekend. This will be the first time I have used a coating; I noticed the directions say it can be used on plastic trim. Is this accurate? Is this for textured plastic trim?

Accidentally ran my ultimate guzzler through the wash with some cloths and the load had fabric softener in it. Is the guzzler trash or will it be alright after I wash it by itself with some pinnacle micro rejuvenator?

Of course, but I'm looking for something a little stronger, but not acidic

I'm typically a DP gel guy but I'm out and need something OTC to tide me over till my next order. I'm looking for something gentle that can be used on clear coated wheels, tires, and in the wells. Any suggestions? Anyone have experience with this Duragloss offering? Duragloss All Wheel...

Not really sure what the best method is... thought I'd ask here since most are very detail oriented!
