Appreciate the response. I am familiar with food-related product issue (and everything from the flame retarder and stain protector in sofas to the waterproofing on outdoor gear). I was hoping that most of the auto care products I use were silicone based. I wish there were a way to know for...

Hello everyone. I'm curious if anyone here has investigated this topic and what they might have learned. I'm wondering if it's safe to assume that many of the synthetic hydrophobic products I use may include PFAS and what it means to have my hands in them and likely be inhaling/ingesting some of...

I too would point you to duragloss. For the time/work saved, it's really tough to argue with.

I've been very pleased with NXT car wash. I like the protection it lends between coatings and I hoarded enough to last until now. While it can still be found online, I am not interested in paying the high price ... So, I'm curious if there's anyone out there familiar with the NXT wash that...

Anyone have any experience with removing detailing clay out of a carpet? We recently had some bodywork done on my wife's car. This weekend, we removed her Husky floor liners to wash them and there was a big hunk of gray detailing clay stuck on the back of the mat and now ground into the carpet...

Anybody have a suggestion where I can find these?

Working to correct 2-year old silver Toyota. Swirls next to undetectable in daylight, like neon at night under overhead lights. Approach was to remove as little paint as possible. Using Megs ult. P. (I'm still a newbie w limited supply of pads/prods.) Started with WHITE Lake CCS. After...

Also agree on hitch vs rack. I'll add that you also won't pay the mpg and maybe wind noise penalty you would with the top racks.

Niblick: That makes sense — except I used a sealant on my first attempt. Omar: The paint feels really smooth. No sense of contamination.

Thanks! I like the idea of not having to redo with another coat of something else and the idea of having next weekend free!

Very interesting!

I understand that beads don't mean "everything" — but since it was beading nicely the first time it got wet, I'm assuming that's a sign that something has changed. (If there's actually protection there, and it's just sheeting – I definitely don't care whether or not it beads.) Mike: Prior to...

Thanks to everyone for their input. That idea about the oils in the first two megs products interfering is interesting. Funny thing is that's why I started with all Megs products - effort to avoid ingredient incompatibilities.

I have a 12 year old silver Tacoma that sits outside under a magnolia tree. Each year around this time of year, my objective is to get some protection on it for winter... Several weeks ago I clayed the hood and followed with Megs ultimate compound, polish and wax. I was disappointed that, after...

Beautiful work Lawrence! Would you be willing to share your methods for dealing with this area? It's my time-sucking nemesis. My wife's camry has a similar lower grille area -- plus these dammed honeycomb cutouts above.:p
