Happy Birthday!

Of course with any protectant product used, and your car, whether brand new, or older, you need a clean Easel to get the very best results. As you might know, many of us use the "Plastic Baggie Test" when checking a condition of a paint, be it new or not. Read up on such if you never heard...

Two of my highly liked picks, both which in my opinion are true hallmark products would be Collinite #845 Insulator Wax, and Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0. The Collinite will produce a look that is deep, a nice warmth, an impeccable glow. This will produce that all day spent BlueCoral...

Optimum Tire Shine is another nice one.

As Mike has posted in some pics he's added, those little platforms to stand on are great to have. They often sell quite cheap on Black Friday Sales. Otherwise, and additionally,a good strong lightweight Ladder will come in handy for hood, roof. Yeah, it's a pain getting up and down and gets...

Not sure if this will help you, but I have seen Driving Glasses that are designed for night driving that supposedly cut glare. That might be an easier and less expensive option rather than windshield tinting. Although I know there are many Ceramic Type Tints today that barely have any tint to...

I myself really like Optimum Opti-Bond. And I also like Optimum Tire Shine as well. Both great products to have on hand.

Coming back to the two I suggested, is ease of use. No more difficult than a good detailer spray. I could practically do an entire vehicle blindfolded, remove the blindfold after I was done and all would look good. Trick with either, don't over-apply.

It's likely they don't bond and last quite as well when used as a topper over something else.

It was DaveT435 who turned me onto UPGP once, sent me a super "care package" some years back and he included a sample bottle of Ultima paint guard plus. I bought some right after! Another great aspect, a bottle of either I previously mentioned last a long time.

The WOWAs usually are problem free in this regard. Either Ultima UPGP, or Otimum Opti-Seal. I'm sure there's others out there. I really like the two I mention for ease of use, no staining like you say, can be used on the entire vehicle, plastic and glass, love them for Door Jambs and every...

Welcome to the forum. The Porter Cable PC7424XP might not be the latest and greatest, the prettiest, or most ergonomic, but it is a durable machine that will last, versatile, and capable for polishing corrections. Yes, you'd have to buy separate backing plates, the Lake Country Backing Plates...

Many products way back were a little bit over-hyped. But not bad products per se. Liquid Lustre, PolyGlycoat, Turtle Wax, Rain Dance, Nu-Finish, etc., I could probably mention another 2 dozen products if I sat here and mulled long enough. What else back then was there? LOL Some lasted a...

Hate to be critical, and yeah, it came with the dealer installed DISO Option, but to me as well (maybe it's the pictures?) but looks like Bowling Green also gave it the infamous chebby orange peel option as well. The relections in all shop pics look muddy to me.

A happy birthday to you!
