    Opti-Coat 2.0 tips...

    I was a big fan of this product when it was still around. New stuff, not so much. I was told by the inventor that there was no benefit to layering so I wouldn't use two coats. Better to just overlap a little more for coverage.

    58' GMC Pick-Up Restoration - ORIGINAL paint!

    You and Dani always do top notch work and your posts are interesting and informative. Everyone should know that here in Arizona, it's often "Tarzan hot" so mobile detailers have to be tough. I've taken July and August off this year and I don't drive the cars because the monsoon dust depresses...

    First Place finish

    Twice a year the same people who couldn't apply spray sealant are going to detail your car? I'd try for my 700 back and put the Klasse on yourself. For $700, you could make a nice order here and do MANY cars the right way. Sorry for your troubles.

    First Place finish

    I have no experience with this specific system but my belief is "super duper" dealer applied paint protection is nothing more than a profit center for them. Most are garden variety sealants that must me reapplied at certain intervals to maintain the warranty. The truly high end coatings take...

    Lamborghini Aventador Roadster - Not for the Faint of Heart - By Oakes

    As usual, superior work! I've seen some horrendous work at supposed high end dealerships so you can't assume that just because they sell expensive cars, they take proper care of expensive cars.

    Introducing the DP Turbo Car Dryer! 6.5 Peak Horsepower Blower for Drying Your Car!

    Mine did exactly the same thing. It also needs a strap or something to free up a hand. I'm back to my Side Kick. Waste of money.

    Drying Aids - thoughts and a question

    Try Duragloss Aquawax. I've used it on both coated and waxed cars and it is quite nice. Doesn't do much on a coated car but it does make any spots disappear with a swipe of a towel. In the summer, I needed something for my 3 year black car in Arizona experiment. A few squirts made all the...

    bodyshop vent (long!)

    +1 The "preferred" shops used by insurance companies count on business being funneled to them. Since the owner thinks your a rectum, I'd show him just how much by contacting the adjuster. You did what the insurance company told you to do and the shop they sent you to screwed up your car and...

    The Eagle...errrr....FLEX PE8 has LANDED!

    The book lists the speed 1300-3900 rpm but no specific speed assigned to the corresponding number on the wheel. It definitely has the Flex quality but I'm a little concerned with the side switch. I'm not going to gripe until I actually use it this weekend.

    Murder at Large in my Hood

    You are correct sir. It was Sam Colt who made men equal. I just like John Browning's designs better. Come to think of it, I'm fond of Gaston Glock too:dblthumb2:

    Non-Pro Coating Comparison Discussion: Which is the best coating available to NON-professionals?

    Interesting that Optimum's new "improved" coating hasn't come up in this discussion. I guess 10cc of product that lasts 2 years isn't as attractive as it was thought to be? When Opticoat was available the answer to this question was easy.

    Detailed: 2011 BMW 135i - Alpine White

    Great job Marc! Now that it's in proper condition, you can enjoy the drive now. The OC on white makes for easy maintainence and while it is harder to make pop, it is really nice when done right as you have done. I know how much thought went into the decision to buy that car and I hope you...

    Detailing in AZ

    You've got to have shade at the very minimum. In the afternoon with a dark color, you can't dry fast enough, no matter the method, to not end up with a spotted mess. I just run a few large fans in my garage. I have a small evap but it really doesn't do much. I take 3 waters and a Gatorade...
