respectfully, there are still tons of cars that came with HIDs or were retrofitted with them. Sure LEDs are the future, but the point about how they compare with regards to heat generation vs halogens stands.

i thought we were going to do a side by side with a quick detailer. what did this test do for our discussion? why does this thread have me so confused?

i tried WETS on similar window trim and it didn't ruin anything, but it was a weird streaky oily look to it.

i'm wondering too how much my hid's and/or led's improve longevity over the traditional halogens of yesteryear.

so even if it's a "better than the others" quick detailer. I still struggle with comparing it to a product like HD speed. But I think we've beaten that one to death haha.

does anyone know if they changed how they make headlights? I've had issues with headlights on my pre 2000's cars but all my newer cars have never had more than regular megs gold class soap and they all still look new. I see guys spending hours and hundreds of dollars on their headlights and I...

spray and wipe or spray and rinse anything will always be easier and cheaper to apply as they dont require a machine or elbow grease. What I think is important to remember is that there isn't a product out there that will polish your paint via spray and wipe or spray and rinse. And there really...

was thinking the same thing

if you disagree, you could provide an intelligent well thought out counterpoint. There's at least 6 members in this thread who took issue with the post, or were confused. If you want to help... you could.

You're going to take this personally, and it's not my intent and I've never had beef with you and I enjoy your posts, so I hope you consider that when you respond to what I'm going to say. If you didn't intend to test the longevity, you sure did a poor job of that in your posts. You then...

I'm hoping a good wash and the eraser will do a good bit, and understand that a polish is probably best. Just worried that where I have some scuffs, rash and peeling it could make it worse. These rims are machine polished hypersilver, not a chrome. with the amount of coatings claimed possible in...

it'll probably be a month or so until i get to it. Just pulled it out of the garage and will use up the existing hydro blue before i tackle this. I will report back.

yeah i get it. For me though it's like putting fresh paint over rotting wood, or interior paint on the outside of your house. You'll be good with either for a while but that's it. Without cleaning and removing the rail dust, contaminants and crap what's the point of providing a protection...

was your vehicle in direct sunlight and maybe the paint was hot? seems like you did all the right steps. what polish?

folex is great stuff, but never tried it on sweat. just wine and coffee haha. i will second what others said, in that a rental is a better bet than buying something unless you forsee this as a continued problem in your future. i've been pretty happy with my steamer and spray chemicals on most...

these wheels are 8 years old and have seen their share of chips, marks and even some pealing. However, from 5' away they look great. I own some eraser and I think I'll clean thoroughly with megs hot rims, clay and erase... but the polish seems like maybe it's not 100% needed, and given the...

I'm glad you told him about removing the contaminants, because just covering them up is not a good long term solution.

with all do respect, if you're going for a quick bang then that's fine. the whole point of decon, clay and polish is to get the crap out. the point of a wax, seal or coat is to keep it off. These 2 very important steps will keep your brand new cars paint looking better for longer. I sure hope a...

dude, you indirectly compared it to hd speed in your post...

i'm a little confused by your post. You say you've been using it on a consistent basis over the last 2 months. I think many of us only expect to use an LSP a few times, if that a year. So if I am understanding your post correctly, you haven't really tackled the longevity issue at all. finally...
