Thanks for the insights and advice all. If I didn't leave it till the last minute I would have been tempted to try Trackwrap, but ended up just getting 2 rolls of 1.5" 3M green auto masking tape and doing my best with that...

Hello all! Just looking for some insights into two options I'm contemplating to protect my new car (Alfa Giulia QV) when driving it 3 hours from the dealer to the detailer where I'm getting PPF installed: 1. Buy several rolls of blue 3M masking tape and cover all the high impact areas as best...

I have been into detailing as a hobbyist for about 5 years now, building up a (what my wife would call) substantial inventory of products. My go-to LSP for the past few years has been Menzerna Power Lock, but I finally took the plunge into coatings and applied CQUK 3.0 to my new BMW M2 this past...

Thanks for the advice all. I guess a re-spray does make the most sense with a chip that large - I'll just have to make sure it is done by a reputable shop that has an eye for quality.

I had my 2012 GTI in for service at my local VW dealer and somebody at the dealership (they don't know who) put a good chip in the paint on passenger's side door while it was in the shop or out on the lot. Whoever it was then tried to clumsily touch it up. Below is a picture of the chip - it's...

Long story short: I placed an order which included a 1L bottle of CarPro TRIX, but was mistakenly shipped a 600 mL bottle. Contacted Nick because I was having issues with the general email addresses bouncing back, Nick ships off a 1L bottle (not just another 600 mL bottle), helping to make up...

Unfortunately not the case here - this bounce-back is coming from their main [email protected] and [email protected] addresses. I even tried their website form and the same thing happened.

I am having this problem as well. There was an issue with my order and I tried emailing about it but am getting the same error message: This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a...

Yeah, I already prepped the wheels with two coats of Menzerna Powerlock and waxed and sealed the brake callipers. The weather is supposed to be warmer this week so I'm planning to wash, maybe some decontamination with Iron-X, and do a coat or two of wax that will hopefully last until April when...

Thanks all! Sepang Blue is as close to Sprint Blue or Nogaro Blue, long a favourite Audi colour of mine...so I'm glad Audi made it available for 2015 on the SQ. Now just have to wait for spring to give it a thorough going over so it can really shine!

Just picked up a 2015 SQ5 in Sepang Blue last night. Now January in Canada is not an ideal time to pick up a new vehicle, but a SQ5 with Quattro certainly beats the BMW M5 I was driving for winter fun! Had it tinted and put BBS SR 19" wheels with Pirelli Scorpion Winters to get me through till...
