Optimum Protectant Plus.

Yes, this must be it. I used an old but washed microfiber towel, and maybe had product on too thick (even though I sprayed it onto the towel, then wiped). Probably not photo degradation of plastic because this is a fairly new vehicle (2017 I think). But maybe sunlight could have caused it to...

OPP. One of the best! Not blaming the product tho...I'm wondering...maybe I applied it too heavy and didnt even it out enough? The white haze was most noticed on the door trim right below the window.

So I detailed an SUV today that has black plastic trim. I applied a highly recommended protectant with a microfiber cloth. Everything looked great right after application, but after it dried the black trim looked like it was cloudy and hazy. Wondering if anyone has had this problem? And I'm...

Thanks Glen. I too like crystal seal...and was shocked to find out they discontinued it...wondered if the newer stuff was truly an improvement...

Would you happen to know how this sealant compares to Crystal Seal? Is it way better in terms of durability? And can you apply it to smooth trim and plastics like headlights/taillights?

Thanks Gav!

Awesome job. Truck looks great! I have a question...a buddy of mine wants me to do his Raptor for him...interior/exterior wash n wax. Going to apply Megs UFF for him. But what product do you recommend for all that hard black plastic exterior trim and air extractor on hood? I have crystal...

Hi all, I bought some Jescar Powerlock, and I'm sure it's going to be an amazing product from all the rave reviews on it. Question though...can you apply it to hard plastic trim surfaces, wheels, and headlights/taillights like you can Collinite 845? Or is it only for painted surfaces? And...

Thanks! This is great info. I was going to ask which pads I should use for application with my Flex.. :dblthumb2:

What I meant to say is that it seems to be more helpful for SS paint instead of the modern clearcoat system, according to some articles I've read. Sorry! I'm sure it has other uses, but just doesn't make a difference on my car's paint...

So I'm really intrigued by the Prima Amigo. Does it hide imperfections really well? That's what I'm looking for. I've used Megs #7 and I can't see a difference with it at all (probably because it's really for SS paints, not BC/CC systems). And the EZ creme glaze also interests me. Which one...

Hello all, Been a while since I've been around...and I just saw that DWG 2.0 is no longer available. Can someone recommend a glaze that works as well as DWG for a 2005 acura tl with dark grey paint? I have some paint issues that need to be covered up, since they cannot be corrected due to...

Sending prayers and encouragement your way, Tim. I hope the doctors are taking good care of your Mom. Are you guys at CMC main? (I'm from Charlotte too...)

Great info here! Thanks guys! I do believe they are clear coated because I don't get any kind of black on my cloth after polishing. I guess to do the job right the clear would have to be stripped and then go from there. And unfortunately those pics are of the wheel after I have tried to...
