    ‘16 Porche Macan

    Thank you! I don’t think it will see any more automatic washes. She honestly didn’t know. Unfortunately her Cayman ended up at the Porche dealer body shop a couple days after being coated. It got the standard wipe down with a rag off the floor on the area they worked on then run through their...

    ‘16 Porche Macan

    This one had seen way too many automatic car washes. I had always heard solid black Porche paint was super soft. Definitely not the case with this one! It scratches pretty easy, but the paint is hard. Used 3K and 4K paper Rupes Mille, G21, Flex 3”, Rupes Ibrid. Sonax Cutmax, EX04-06, CarPro...

    2019 Porche Cayman S

    Definitely a sweet little ride. The last day I have it, had to wait to get the PPF removed and done properly, she says “I hope you’ve been driving it, someone should be” Had I known...nah, I wouldn’t have driven it anyway. Drove her Macan to get some PDR done on it today, it’s not brand new so...

    2019 Porche Cayman S

    She came off the transport truck and brought straight to me with 53 miles on it. Sweet little car. It obviously sat on a dealers lot for a while needed a lot of work, compounded and polished. Coated the paint, windshield, wheels, and calipers. Sent from my iPad using AGOnline

    Clear UV tint for the windshield

    Well after sending him the state legislation on window tinting he’s agreed to give her 400.00 back, I’m going to give him a couple more days to think about it before I go up there. Five years of putting illegal tint on windshields all coming back to get it replaced may put this guy out of...

    Clear UV tint for the windshield

    Thanks, I just pulled some illegal tint off which was installed by the same company who did the worst hack job installing a PPF on a bumper cover I have ever seen. Talked to him today. Guy is a real ass, won’t refund any of her money. I called him out on the tint thing he told me I needed to...

    Clear UV tint for the windshield

    I know the plastics used in dash boards do a lot of out gassing when the car is new. Does anyone know if it’s best to wait 6 months or so before having the film put on the windshield? If for not other reason, it would end up with considerably less cleaning the film. I don’t know anything about...

    Chemical Guys Leather Ruined my steering

    I quit using these products a couple years ago but I did use the cleaner and conditioner on several vehicles and never had an issue. If I remember correctly I used it once on furniture as well. I wonder if either during manufacturing or some time before the product got to you something else...

    Satin titanium or black wheels?

    Satin Titanium. Black wheels are still ok on black cars all blacked out, and they have to be gloss black otherwise they always look dirty. Other than that I think black wheels are yet another fad that’s going to go by the wayside. I was in the tire and wheel business most of my life. I’ve seen a...

    Soft black paint for Noobs

    Obviously the clear shot over the pure black is much softer than that they use to cover the metallic, referring to the newer GM paints from at least 2016 on. Trust me I’ve worked on a few of both. In the case of the Subaru the metallic blue paint is on the soft side but not bad I would put it...

    Soft black paint for Noobs

    Right, I was referring to their particular GM paint since I’m familiar with it. Since you mentioned the metallic black Subaru paint, I have one of those coming up. Test spot goes without saying, just want to make sure it not nearly as soft as that solid blue Subaru paint is it?

    Griots vs. Rupes Pneumatics and air compressor question

    As far as the compressor goes. I’m also looking at compressors, replacing the smaller unit I currently have. I’m going with that Lowe’s compressor. Two stage compressors are quieter and refill the tank faster. That’s a great price on the Lowe’s compressor.

    Soft black paint for Noobs

    It sounds like you know your paint pretty well. It is plain black with no metallic correct? The reason I ask is because there is a huge difference in the two. The solid black is super soft as you are stating. The metallic black on the other hand is on the hard side in which case you may not have...
