    Prima Hydro Max Questions

    Thats about as heavy on specifics as i have ever seen come directly from a manufacturer all within 2 posts. Its quite obvious that Prima likes to let the products speak for themselves And they do a great job at that. It looks to me like they prefer NOT to overcomplicate things and i respect...

    Optimum OPTI-GLASS

    Does anybody know if OPTI-GLASS can be layered or "topped up" at a later date ? that is , without first scuffing or removing the original coat.

    2014 Carpro Reload

    I am having IDENTICAL problems with the new 2014 Reload. I spoke to Carpro USA about the problem to notify them. Just when I got the old formula under control by diluting it 1:1, the new 2014 formula comes out and i'm back to square 1 with the same issues. Just like described, a very very...

    Boom! Menzerna raises the bar again!

    I would imagine they will all be released here as thats a Menzerna "USA" graphic you posted. I wonder what the endless shine spray will be all about considering Menzerna USA already offers a pretty potent quick detailer.

    Super Plush vs. Shine & Buff MF towels

    I have used both. The purple towel is better. it works better at wiping up liquids, is more versatile (has two different naps) , and is less prone to linting (the shine and buff towels lint A LOT!!!, especially is using to buff a liquid product dry). The only place I might see the Shine &...

    Optimum OPTI-GLASS

    I plan using the same applicator like you described. Its just so much easier to make an even application using this or a MF applicator compared to yellow foam. Regarding the PBL glass coat, are the issues being discussed about wipe chatter ?

    Optimum OPTI-GLASS

    Theres a lot of popular glass coatings on the market with 2 years claimed durability. Including Gtechniq which I believe to be Carpro's biggest competitor worldwide. Wiper chatter/hopping is also a very well known trait of Gtechniq glass coating. Unless I am missing something from Carpro...

    Optimum OPTI-GLASS

    Thank you Setec. I appreciate the info and will go ahead with the opti-glass application. I can tell from the viscosity and sprayer that the application looks to be dramatically different than the optimum paint coatings.

    FG400 How long to break it down

    FG400 is a super concentrated product. I typically use 2 pea size drops for each section and it takes a long while for it to break down. Especially if you use to much product, it seems like you can buff it forever. I prefer to make 8 pass's. NO less. If your working on hard paint you wont...

    Optimum OPTI-GLASS

    Just picked up a bottle that was on clearance. I've got a few questions I wanted to ask here because i'm not seeing many indepth reviews of this product on the forums (that would typically answer the types of questions i'm asking. - Does this glass coatings cause the wipers to chatter or hop...

    Quickest method of paint correction for production work.

    Its also pretty much a sure bet that there are going to be a LOT of burned edges on the paint and especially on trim pieces. Guaranteed. Axrow, does your shop use masking tape ? I just cant see how 1.5 hours will allot enough time to be careful enough to avoid these types of mistakes. I...

    Quickest method of paint correction for production work.

    what do you consider training ? Could self teaching on the internet be considered that ? Because I know there are many people on this forum without an ounce of traditional training that have worked on maybe 10 - 15 (possibly numerous times) cars max that can do excellent paint correction and...

    Blackfire rinseless streaking?

    I know this might sound counter-intuitive but I suggest trying a higher concentration. It might be that you paint is dry and/or soaking in the protection of the product unevenly. I typically always double the dilution on rinseless wash products. The only ones that ever give me problems at...

    Blackfire rinseless streaking?

    This product has always been absolutely foolproof for me. Even at super high concentrations (like 1oz per gallon) on black paint. I will say I havent used the product in a very long time and I notice that a lot of these products change slightly from batch to batch.

    Prima Hydro Max ... Yikes?

    something I noticed is that it seems that the Hyrdo MAX formula has been evolving over time. I have had 3 bottles of Hydro MAX. A bottle on the first week of release, one inbetween and I bottle I just received. The bottle I just got is definitely a thicker product than my first bottle. Its...
