The price is $ 144.00 at Home Depot and it comes with a foam cannon. Anyone with advice or comments they care to share ?.......Thanks in...

    Problem with Opti Seal ?......

    I have been using Opti Seal for over a year now and have been very happy with it. Its easy to use, gives a nice shine, is very hydrophobic and cost effective. Today after washing my car I used it and put a coat on the wheels and the paint, but it never flashed. I didn't notice right away because...

    Question about using Optimum Opti- seal with a carnuba wax.........

    I recently started using Opti-seal and really like it, but I also really like the glow of a carnuba wax like P21. Which is better, to put the carnuba on top of Opti-seal, or put the carnuba under the Opti-seal ? The info on Opti-Seal says to use it as a LSP, but I also read somewhere to use the...

    WG Fusion or CG's Petes 53 .....

    Like most who responded I think Fusion edges out Petes 53, but for some reason I lean toward the Petes 53. It doesnt have to do with the price. I think Petes 53 is maybe more enjoyable to use.........I like the jar, the color (white), the smoother texture and the Pina Colada smell. It seems like...

    WG Fusion or CG's Petes 53 .....

    I have used them both and I like both of them. I need to reorder and I can't decide which one to get. Fusion is more $ (I get the small jar) but I think it holds up better. Petes 53 comes in a larger jar and you get more applications. They both smell great and are easy to.use not to mention that...

    I have been a Respiratory Therapist for 30 years........I know oxygen, nitrogen and over gases inside out............AIR= 21% OXYGEN and 79% NITROGEN (less than 1 % of air are rare trace gases like argon and helium). Your tires with air already have 79% nitrogen in them. If you would flush out...

    California Duster?

    I use the California Duster exclusively for pollen this time off year. It works great..........Just be very gentle when wiping the paint and If the Duster is brand new wrap it in newspaper for 24-48 hours to get the extra parafan off of it so it doesnt cause smearing.
