I've searched for the difference between CarPro's CQuart's (any variation) and their Dlux product but the only thing I can find is that DLux is thicker so that it better protects wheels. I was thinking since Cquartz it more expensive that it might have more ceramic in it but I don't find this...

I don't see that AG sells biodegradable gloves so I'm hoping it is okay to mention this here. Showa's biodegradable gloves are _finally_ back to the lower price that they were 3 years ago. This is currently only on the large size. I've been using these gloves for some time now. According to...

My 2 cents... most of the problem is probably using strong acidic cleaners on the tires all of the time. Tires have carbon black added to them to help protect against the elements. When this is stripped away, tires oxidize faster and this turns them brown. My recommendation would be to use a...

I installed a polycarbonate windshield and I think fingerprints appear when if not touched. Does anyone know of a good oleophobic coating that can be applied to glass or plastic that really works at resisting fingerprints?

Not even close to the same thing being discussed. Ceramic sprays are completely different then ceramic coatings.

Any ideas?

Every used a citric cleaner? Think about what fruit does to you. Truth is, your body can _easily_ handle both. On a scale of 0-7, battery acid is at 0 and stomach acid is at 1. The caustic part of Coca Cola is not going to hurt you in any way. BTW - Coca cola on the ph scale is at 2.7, right...

I'm looking for a product to use on anodized aluminum (in my case, black). Something that is known not to leave any residue that can be seen and preferably a spray. So far the only thing I've found that works is Meguiar's x-Press Spray Wax. All others I've used usually leave a white residue or...

In both cases, very experienced people working with a rotary. For a new person, it is _VERY_ easy to burn through paint doing this. I highly recommend against it.

The are the same. The ones I use perform exactly like the regular nitrile ones. Too each their own but I keep thinking about the number of disposable gloves being used and that it takes 100+ years for them to breakdown (the plus is because they have not even been around long enough for us to...

Anyone have a good current source for biodegradable gloves? Last time I paid about $13 for 100 large and now they seem to be around $25 for 100. I was using the Showa brand, which were good.

I have to say... that was some _really_ good information in your post. I don't know when you have not given honest and fair information and this is no different (keep in mind, that was a double negative:) ). Just really good stuff!

I've used Solution Finish on some plastic trip and even the flares on my F150 which are 9 years old. It looks good... for about 3 months and then it is right back to faded out. I bought some Cerakote but have not tried it yet. I bought it as it seems to apply a dye and then also contains a...

So I obtained some more information on the "paint". The vehicle is a Vanderhall. Here is what Vanderhall says about the "paint": "...the body panels are derived from a process of bonding a paint film to an ABS substate. We get the raw sheets by the pallet from our supplier with the paint film...

I have a Flex 3401 but I think the smallest backing plate I have is 4". I also have a long throw polisher but that would not work either. I thought I was generating too much heat when the polish started to cake up. Based on your info, it appears this is correct. I _think_ using the foam pad at a...
