    Stubborn water spotting with CSL...too late for exo or will it even help?

    I have not. I've only used it on a coated vehicle.

    Stubborn water spotting with CSL...too late for exo or will it even help?

    CarPro Spotless have worked miracles for me without having to repolish. All I did was spray Spotless on the panels affected, then used a foam applicator (for waxes) since it is soft and won't damage the paint and it removed it by spreading it around the panel as if applying a wax.

    That looks awesome. Probably a noob question but how are you getting a water source to your pressure washer?

    Diamond Wheel Coatings on matte wheels?

    You should be fine. I have matte vinyl decals and powdercoated wheels (also matte) and I applied CQuartz to the decals and DLux to the wheels with no ill-harmed effects. Like Desertnate said, it just darkens it a little but as far as gloss goes, no change. Even the darkening effect doesn't...

    Review: BLACKFIRE One-Step Cleaner/Wax by Mike Phillips

    Great! Just what I was looking for, thanks. I knew coatings needed to be on a surgically clean surface for it to bond but I just wanted to clarify on the definition of a "one-step", wasn't sure if ALL one-step leaves protection behind.

    Review: BLACKFIRE One-Step Cleaner/Wax by Mike Phillips

    So for all "one-step" products, not just Blackfire, a coating would not be a good idea after the vehicle is done?

    Favorite beer, if not a beer drinker, favorite beverage in general.

    Same here, water and Ice Tea unsweetened but I gotta have my daily dose of Monster in Pipeline Punch or Mango Loco. Bobby B, you should definitely give these a try if you haven't.

    what to do if in a car accident and the driver at fault doesn't have auto insurance?

    I went through the same exact scenario. Got into an accident with another motorist without insurance. I was turning left on a "4-way stop" intersection because all the signal lights were off. Other driver decided to run the red as I was turning left and her reason was "because the semi-truck...

    Rupes Mini Lake Country Pad Choices

    So from all the feedback so far for the Mini, seems like the LC thins have the popular vote. May I ask what benefit there is compared to the regular pads? I do know it is faster cut, but does that also mean more clear taken out? Or does it mean it will get to the result of the regular thicker...

    Rupes Mini Lake Country Pad Choices

    Hey all, just looking for some input on what pads you guys recommend for the Rupes Mini. I am currently using a PC7424XP with 4" Lake Country CCS pads. I plan on purchasing a Rupes Mini in the near future and while looking through the Lake Country pads section I came across 2 types of pads I am...

    Goof Off vs 3M Adhesive Remover vs Brake Cleaner for removing sticky stuff

    Good to know. Also, another option item to add is CarPro TarX. So far it has removed any adhesives I needed to remove. If it doesn't work the first time, usually a few more applications will do the trick. But in my experience, one time is all I need after a 2-3 min dwell time.

    SunJoe SPX3000

    I also just purchased the same model. I currently use a gas powered PW with a Kranzle fitting. I was hoping to start using the electric one for washing cars mainly due to noise. From what you guys are saying, I can't use the setup I have with the Sun Joe? I was hoping I can just move the...
