Hi I noticed a scratched on the inside of my windshield about a foot long and passes over my visual sight. Slight but there. Can feel it with my nail. I have absolutely no idea how it got there, but i can feel its deep enough with my nail that its a scratch. I'm wondering if when i was...
No particular reason. I got the sprayer its own dedicated bag, but decided, i won't be using this stuff often enough, so save the bag, pour what i didn't use back in the main jug, and just wash it out for next time.
I got the problem fixed. I just got a big Opsak bag, and am able to now store it inside the house. These bags completely contain the smell of rotten eggs. Even giving it a good sniff from an inch away. These bags are not just your ordinary zip loc bags. These are intended for food while camping...
Yeah in hindsight i should of probably done this and stressed less about it all. I have three cars I maintain, funny enough one of them being a gti mk7 same color as yours lol. i could use up maybe a qrt of a gallon on those three, then i probably won't need any for a year or two and for the...
Never really used Iron Decon before. I've always just relied on clay. However i recently decided to pick a gallon of Meguiars D1801 Iron Decon up to give it a proper prep before doing a paint correction. Sort of wishing i hadn't now. The stink is pretty bad. Just wondering where you guys store...
I'm a big waterless fan. I use D115 8:1 with distilled water to liberally spray up the car, lightly wipe away the dirt, one panel at a time, using only clean area's of the MF. Once clean then I lightly spray up the paintwork with either beadmaker or D156 X-Press Synthetic Wax. I would say D156...
OP here. Thanks for the replies. Good to know all this. I will get a PTG and measure under the hood and door jambs then compare with each panel on the car.
OK next question. What is a good reliable PTG that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I'm just a weekend warrior. So thousands is out of the...
I know that there are devices that'll measure paint. But what about the thickness of clear coat ? Owned my two black VW's since new. Both 2018's. Anyway I did an initial paint correction after delivery from the dealer. 18 months or so ago, and ever since then i've been cleaning on a weekly basis...
I came to that conclusion based on using the same product out of the same container. It originally came out sky blue, and i dunno a yr or two later it was purple. I'm not a pro detailer, only a weekend warrior, so a gallon lasts me a while. Yet, the same D115 that came out the same container...
Me ? I paid up the full amount of $350 at Costco. It sparked my interest last week when it was on discount for either $60 or $80 off. However by the time i decided yep i want it (as in cleared it with the wife lol) erm like a day later, it was back up to full price. It also comes with the...
Old thread revival i know.. But anyway, been using D115 since 2015 and for practicality its still my go-to. Yeah you can get out the powerwasher, foam gun and all the buckets you like, but after 4yrs of using it on a weekly basis and never getting any swirls on my black cars, its hard to justify...
So i picked this up 2.4gpm 3100psi Yamaha Powerstroke gas powered pressure washer last night. It seems to me, that its probably too powerful for using as a foam cannon / cleaning cars. Which is fine cos i do have a lot of other uses for it.. I didn't buy it for cleaning my car, but it would be...
My D115 last years as i only do my own cars. Anyway my 2015 D115 went a purple instead of the sky blue that it originally looked like. I believe some of the black dye from the plastic bottle caused this, cos a spray bottle i had in a clear spray was still the sky blue. Everything else stayed...
Thinking about getting myself one. I saw a Yahama Powerstroke 3100psi the other day in Costco. I wouldn't mind trying out a foam cannon. Are there any specs to take into consideration for foam cannons ?
Yeah, I'm a Floridian too. i always rent a car when doing any highway trips. ESPECIALLY this time of yr. May is love bug season. I'm too OCD to have all those bug guts eating into my paintwork.. Every night ATM i'm cleaning off a few just from a regular 60mph to work.
