Many thanks all... will definitely look into all the options.. And the tree will get what is coming to it. It's got a number of branches that need to come down before winter decides to help them on their way.

many thanks! right now I'm in the early phase of looking/considering (again) - as I've noticed I'm getting a real lack of desire to continue wax/seal by hand... Let me hold off on asking anything else till I decide which one I'll take the plunge on, and then I might pick your brain a bit about...

True - I could take it to a body shop, but trying to see if trying a DIY is worth it. Instead of filling with putty, I was thinking tape to cover the hole (it's about a 2" by 2") then some kind of material that could be spread over the tape and then harden (like the quick dry spackle for...

Hey Mike, I read the article (and watched the video) about which polisher to choose. I was looking at the beginner group, but noticed that neither in the article nor the video were the polishers identified. No links, names, etc... I did some looking (basically picture comparison) and think the...

Hi all, Recently a branch fell off a tree and took a chunk out of the lip spoiler on my wife's car (2002 Chevy Cavalier - picture below). It isn't enough to warrant an insurance claim (or more accurately, the increased rates for making a claim) but I'd like to get it repaired/covered before...

I understand it is a polish and not a coating, but Wolfgang does claim that there is a water repellency aspect at speeds above 30mph (I've found it more in the above 45-50 range...) and I get the polish will eventually erode/age off - whatever the proper term is. And I see that the Polish simply...

Hi, I recently applied Perfekt Vision Glass Polish to my windshield, but now have a few questions on the longevity of it: In order to maintain the benefit of it (the water repellency), would I need to re-apply it after: 1) Cleaning the windshield with wiper fluid? 2) Regular manual (cool water...

If climate/heat is a concern, you might want to look into the Poorboy's World brand (available in the Store section here) products. They are designed in Florida, and designed for use in any climate, and regardless of sun level. I've used them before based on that (Sealants, waxes, and tire gels)...

I recently purchased the Wolfgang Perfekt Vision Glass Care Kit, and had the chance to apply it over the weekend... I'll break the kit down by product.. The kit in general comes with everything you need to clean and add a hydrophobic - Water Repellent layer to your windshield. It includes...

Thanks for the feedback all! Decided to take the plunge and go with Wolfgang over Pinnacle and Griots. Aquapel just didn't appeal, and McKee's, while it looks great, isn't currently offering a package that includes the Glass Coating aspect (at least not at a price point below $50)... I...

Hi all, With Summer coming up on us, and living in the DC area (which means an almost daily chance of storms) - I'm looking into getting my windshield up to par with a decent hydrophobic coating. I've tried various things (Stoner's Repellent, Poorboy's World Polish/Sealant, PIAA Silicone...

Someone earlier posted my idea - Poorboy's world products (sold by AGO) are designed to be used in direct sunlight. I just did two cars this past weekend with their polish, and had no issues. It was a sunny 70+ degree day in DC. I'd definitely recommend looking into their line, and the cars look...

I took advantage of the weekend to give my cars a good clean from winter, including Wash, Clay, and Poorboy's World Polish With Sealant. By the time I was done doing that to 2 cars, I was done for the day and skipped the wax as a topper... (Pics in the Show n Shine thread) So that leads to the...

Thanks! and there was QD, but only on the hood of the Chevy. By that point I was done for the day.

Finally had a nice enough weekend (and time) to give my car (2014 Mazda 3 - Silver) and Wife's car (2003 Chevy Cavalier - Blue) a little detailing love, and to break in some of the products I got from AGO. Both cars were looking a little worse for wear, especially my wife's, which had been...
