Hi, Bill, and congratulations on your retirement. Sounds like you'll have quite a collection of vehicles. You've got land and sea covered ... No airplane? :-) Re your listed process ... For the stripping wash, I dislike Dawn because it can dry out some rubber and plastic. I prefer to use...

I want to be very scientific about this, so I'll select numbers from two pretty cool airplanes. There. That should do it. With thanks to Kelly Johnson. 38.71

goldenlight, First step, no matter what product you choose, is to clean as Dr Pain pointed out. If you're talking about Solution Finish in your comment above, I imagine you're reacting to the size of the bottle vs the price, right? I thought the same thing. However, if all you use it on is...

Klasse All-in-One to remove the oxidation. Klasse Sealant Glaze.

Sorry it didn't work well for you. I use Reload on top of something else ... Blackfire Wet Diamond AFPP, Four Star UPP, something like that ... And really like the increased slickness and (to me, nothing scientific, just my impression) the longer lifespan Reload gives to the "main" LSP...

Silverfox .... Thank you for this info about your CQUK experience when using commercial touchless washes. A lady friend just bought a new car and asked if I would remove the DISOs and protect it like I did my car. I said ok, but not if you're going to use drive-thru car washes. This was not a...

Nice. You made a lot of difference in the appearance already. The Klasse AIO is a chemical cleaner, i.e. no abrasives, so the only abrading you're doing on the contamination/discoloration is from the texture of the pad or applicator. I think that, in order to get results you're completely...

Great results, and I wouldn't have thought to use Dlux on a painted metal part. Thanks for sharing the idea.

swanicyouth .... wow. Looks great. Thinking outside the box using the Tuff Shine Tire Cleaner on trim, too. Hmmm ... wonder if one could use the Tuff Shine Clearcoat on top of the Dlux? haha. OK, getting carried away there, I guess. What did you use on the metal portions of the wiper arms?

Thanks for the review. I look forward to trying this product. Where did you find it?

It would be great to meet in person all the AG folks we interact with on the forums. Haha at Ray's "more food trucks". I'm with him on that. :-)

Or, once they start chunking and dusting as mentioned above ... if I can get all the previous product out of them, I cut them into pieces and use them for tire swipes and such. But I'm cheap. :-)

Le, Welcome to AGO. Nice deal on the LGM. Who doesn't like finding a bargain? Good before/afters ... nice turnaround on those mats. I've been wanting an extractor, but I haven't managed to find one for $59... :-) .... and seeing what a nice job you did with the LGM, maybe I don't need an...

Great info! Thank you for sharing the knowledge, taking the time to put it together, and the pix showing what/where to click.

Wow. Nice turnaround. Bet your customer's jaw hit the floor when he saw the results. Nice idea on the headlight restoration, too. Re your existential thoughts .... Good point. There are a lot more Big Reds around than there are Maseratis, too. Though admittedly there probably aren't all...
