    how should I remove the gas stain

    Yes, I used KAIO by hand. I don't have machine or any other polishes. Thats above my skill level. I might as well just find a detailer to work on it.

    how should I remove the gas stain

    2023 Camry Ice Edge color I filled up gas about a week ago. Most likely, the attendant didn't close the cap properly and the gas leaked. I started smelling gas yesterday, but could not figure out. Tightened the cap and I thought it is fixed. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the gas spilled...

    ceramic coating vs ceramic spray

    I have tried ceramic coating but have never tried ceramic sprays, like Turtle Wax 53409 Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating or Technicians Choice TEC582 Ceramic Detail Spray or Meguiar's Ceramic wax. How do they compare, other than spray's durability will be significantly shorter? In...

    Oil sprayed over engine bay, products/technique

    Hello folks, 2015 Subaru Forester with 70K on the odometer. During our recent road trip, the low engine oil light came on, so added half quart of oil but in the rush, forgot to tighten the oil cap. Low engine light came on again with oil sprayed over half of the engine bay. I wiped the oil as...

    Solution Finish, forgot to wipe off

    2015 Subaru Forester's trim was fading. Last weekend, I applied Solution Finish. I was planning to wipe it off after 6 hours, but something came up and I had to attend to the matter. By the end of the day, I completely forgot to wipe off. Yesterday, I got a chance to look at the trim and it was...

    FinishKare BWM-1 (formerly 1000p) topper

    Thank You, @Bobby B. Since I have already applied 2 coats, I can't use 218 now, right? I will keep this in mind for the next year. BWM-1 tub is going to last me for a while. I will get Blackfire SiO2 spray sealant.

    FinishKare BWM-1 (formerly 1000p) topper

    That's the plan but my Raynaud's acts up as soon as it gets cold. I thought I could put a couple of coats now and sometimes in Oct. If I can't do whole car in a day, I would go panel by panel.

    FinishKare BWM-1 (formerly 1000p) topper

    At the moment, I am detailing the cars to prep for the (NYC) winter. I will apply 3 coats of FK BWM-1 and will apply the last one in the first week of Nov. After that, I will wipe the car down with FK425 after every wash during winter. Last year, I applied 3 coats but could not apply the last...

    Which microfiber towels for washing the car?

    Yesterday, I went to apply a coat of Klasse Sealant and FK1000p on the car to compare which one performs better in winter. I usually do rinseless washing with Wolfgang Uber Rinseless wash. But after this rinseless wash, I noticed the paint failed the plastic bag test. Question 1: what should be...

    Vinyl UV protectant that doesn't show reflection on the windshield

    I am winter prepping the cars and applied 303 Aerospace Protectant (white bottle) to my car's dash. Sprayed liquid on the microfiber towel, applied to the dash and buffed off with another microfiber towel. My wife claims that it shows dash reflection on the windshield and I should not apply that...

    Water activated Spray sealants

    Trust me when I say this, there is not a single touchless wash nearby me (Westchester county, NY). Coin-op is about 20 minutes' drive off my way. I have never seen renting a garage spot either. A friend had a garage but he moved last year so I am pretty much stuck (that was the sole reason of...

    Water activated Spray sealants

    Yes, I have. This is my second winter. I didn't wash the car at all last winter so I have no idea how long it did the job, but when I washed in May, it was pretty much gone. Maybe it was my technique or prep that was not optimal. So this year, I read a lot, took advice from Klasse Act, and...
