    How do people let cars get like this :eek:

    some people are polar opposites when it comes to house and car.... but then again, some aren't lol. like my already stated example, her house is definitely not on the polar opposite side, it's more on the same-same side of it. never too clean, junk everywhere, etc..... but like others have...

    question about sealant and wax

    if you have no pad on it at all, it should be close to balanced for weight. the more weight you add onto it, the less the offset weight will help it stay balanced. a heavier pad or "wetter" pad, will make it shake more, because you aren't changing your counterbalance weight, it is still trying...

    How do people let cars get like this :eek:

    This is all too true, fortunately for my own family, we have 4 kids and cars that rarely have crumbs in them. Long trips do the most damage, but I spend a few hours cleaning everything off after long trips, the body odor smell from 6 people sitting in close quarters for 20 hours is enough to...

    How do people let cars get like this :eek:

    Yes, momivans are horrible, my wife's sisters gets just as bad, it may not be mine and im not getting paid to clean it, but it irks me that someone would let their kids sit in a mess like that. Imagine the stuff floating around that could get them sick. Those vand have little bowl type holding...

    Sears damaged my rims, help me touch them up?

    ask them for some cheapo wheels of same/similar size to drive on for those three days so you aren't without a car, mention that its cheaper than a rental car , unless they want to pay for a rental for the time you won't have your vehicle.

    Pinnacle Black Label Glass Coating. did i do wrong?

    Is spraying more going to add more of a layer to it all at one time though? Like products dissolve like products, especiLly a spray sealant before its cured, wouldnt it be more advisable to say 4 sprays per side in two sessions, after letting the first set enough where you wont be removing it by...

    Took my wheels to the local tire shop

    You are thinking of certain cast 2 and 3 piece wheels, most oem should have no issue with the heat of powdercoating because they arent made the same as some of the center sections that fail due to heat

    Pinnacle Black Label Glass Coating. did i do wrong?

    Also, if youre going to use your wipers, be sure you're cleaning the blades off as well, dirt on the blades will abrade the windshield much worse than normal, that may help with durability

    pad cleaning

    depends on what washer and what cycle you put it on as to how they get cleaned. if you have a top load and stick it on the heaviest duty cycle for heavy soiled jeans and such, you could possibly damage them from the agitation. on the other hand, using delicate setting and letting it move...

    Pinnacle Black Label Glass Coating. did i do wrong?

    well 69 on something that doesn't use wipers at all is a good investment imho. the last time i got caught in the rain, my supra didn't even have front wipers on it (still off being sand blasted at home, in the middle of refinishing). and my windshield and glass were coated with blackfire...

    Took my wheels to the local tire shop

    You can see that if you chip paint, it has a rough edge, and you should even be able to get a nail under it, and the underside will either be the color ofbthe primer or wheel, but with those pictures I linked, you can tell where the previous chips had been repainted. You see no definite gap at...

    Rain every few days, do you wash in between?

    tell me about it, my sequoia is a pain to keep clean because of how tall it is... i think it's the tallest SUV ever made when in stock form... its ridiculous, can't even reach the center of the roof while standing on a stool. lol

    Laundry (rinseless vs 2bwash)

    why not just go with the rinseless but use a 2bm rinse less method instead and one good wash tool like a bone or a thick MF? two buckets, both with rinseless solution in them and grit guard in the other. presoak the area, rinse off in one bucket, grab new rinseless solution in the other. you...

    Pinnacle Black Label Glass Coating. did i do wrong?

    how often did you use your wipers? seems like the less i use my wipers the longer anything lasts due to less abrasion. was this done to the front or rear window when it didn't last long?

    XMT Shelf Life?

    bringing this up again. but what are the consistencies of the xmt line 1-4 and 360? it seems like my 4 and 2 are doing well, they are both rather thick still. but the 3 and 1 are both fairly watery... i would think evaporation of any liquids in the polish would be the biggest concern, but does...

    Took my wheels to the local tire shop

    if you look at the pictures you posted earlier in the thread, you can see where the wheels were damaged and repaired at some point, the shop didn't try to apply some touch up paint to those wheels and then hand it back with gouges in other spots. now, if you look at those spots there...
