    Sealant comparison

    I haven't tried Menzerna Power Lock, nor Jescar, which I assume is the same product. I can only buy so many $30+ sealants to use $0.50 worth. I've bought quite a few and traded for many. The ones I buy first are those with sample sizes. Edit: Just noticed that Jescar sells samples. Ordered...

    Sealant comparison

    Washed the Rover and Sentra with CarPro Reset using a Big Red Sponge. Washed the Boxster using CarPro reset using MF towels. The DG products (104 and 111) are slowing down faster than expected. For DG 111 the temp may be been too low to cure well. DG 104 had enough heat. Ultima Waterless is...

    Sealant comparison

    Washed the Rover and Sentra with CarPro Reset using a Big Red Sponge. Wash the Boxster using N-914 and MF towels. All the new long term products on the Rover are doing well. The DG products (104 and 111) are not shedding water as fast as the others. If we get some warmer temps this week I'll...

    Sealant comparison

    Added 3 more long term sealants. The weather was not as warm as I expected and I added these late in the day in ~70 degree weather. Hoping they cure well before we get rain. If not, I'll remove and reapply next week. It looks like a few days of 70 degree weather are expected next week. After...

    2018 Porsche GT3

    Great work as always, Scott. You get work on the nicest cars! I've reached the conclusion that a GT3 is going to be forever beyond my means. The wife and I are discussing how/when we can get a GT4. They good news is they keep their value better than other Porsches so I can delude myself into...

    Sealant comparison

    Washed the Rover and Sentra with CarPro Reset using a Big Red Sponge. Wash the Boxster using N-914 and MF towels. Collinite 845 and DG 104 are both doing well, of course. They're both clearing water very quickly. With 845 I don't see the water run off - it's just gone immediately. I'm still...

    Done. The spreadsheet is always available via the link in my sig. (The image upload and management process here drives me crazy.) Larger version here. Larger version here.

    Yes, thanks for the correction. Not sure how I got that wrong. As of today it's 4.3 weeks.

    Washing with Microfibers?

    Interesting discussion. I haven't tested the BRS, wash mitt, or MF to see how much they could scratch paint. For some reason I assume high quality, high density MFs are the least scratchy. This is based on how the look after I wash them vs. mitts which never seem to look 100% clean. It would be...

    Sealant comparison

    Seems to work well with Reset. Perhaps a little more foam than I like, but works well. No reason not to use the BRS with N-914, I just don't want to use my BRS on the wife's Boxster. I'm sure it's clean, but I use that BRS for on some nasty dirt and I a belief (maybe unfounded) that the MF...

    Sealant comparison

    Update for the Boxster and the 1 product I missed on the Rover last time. Both were washed with N-914 at 128:1 using MF towels. Hydro Max is done. Megs Hybrid Ceramic and Hydro Blue are doing ok. Spray & Seal is doing great. Keep in mind the Boxster doesn't drive a lot of miles, is garaged...

    Sealant comparison

    Washed the Rover and Sentra with CarPro Reset and a Big Red Sponge. Did not get a chance to test the Boxster. Hope to get to it tomorrow night. Mother's Speed Wax, Mystery #7, Uber, and DP Spray Sealant are done. I somehow forgot to test Prima Hydro MAX on the Rover driver door. I'll try to...

    Sealant comparison

    Not doing any testing this weekend. Terrible air quality due to fires here and I'd rather not be outside that much. I did get a couple of winter products added to the Rover. I did the polishing last weekend so all I had to do was apply the waxes. They both cured for ~30 mins @ 78 degrees before...

    Best wax remover for plastic trim?

    Replying to an old thread just so people get another recommendation: McKee's Wax Remover or Duragloss Wax Eraser.
