    Tire Dressing

    Duragloss #253, 3D Ultra Protectant, Hyper-Dressing 4:1. With any of these if the tires are still wet there is a chance the liquid will fly off the tire. If you need to drive before they dry just go over them with a dry microfiber.

    G9 gets hot

    What do you really expect? Always ask for what you want the result to be. Don't assume someone is going to read your mind and figure out what you want. If you feel you have a defective machine demand that they replace it under warranty. But I really do not know what your expectations...

    Windshield coating - skipping wipers (new car)

    With a coated windshield you can never rely on the rain sensor. It wants to wipe every drop of rain off the glass. When your windshield is coated you don't need or want that. Uncoated windshields become a blurry mess. Coated ones you can see through the water drops with much greater...

    Turtle Wax Graphene

    No the original. Just because something can do well in a short term chemical durability test doesn't mean it is an overall good product. If you are spraying Citrol 266 on your paint weekly then by all means this may be the product for you. Otherwise I would pass. The only two products I...

    Turtle Wax Graphene

    Except it has horrible water behavior and doesn't last long in the real world. And it doesn't self clean in the rain either. Oh and it loses gloss until after the first wash. If you are driving through chemicals all day and don't want a coating then maybe it'll work for you. But there are...

    Tar removal

    As was said above. CarPro Tar-X is safe to use as-needed on a CQUK coated vehicle. But as Mike always says if a product isn't adding to your protection then it is doing what? So just use it as needed - don't get carried away.

    What pads to use with 3D One Hybrid?

    3D ONE and Buff And Shine Uro-Fiber Blend 50/50 pads are a very popular and effective combination (if you are using a free spinning DA). I just used it on a 10 year old neglected SUV and one step corrected and finished very well. I see why this is such a popular combination.

    Griot's (Cerakote) Trim Coat Wipes

    I agree. I just used this to restore trim on a 10 year old compact SUV. I kept it to textured plastics. On the rear bumper plastic it came out ok. I actually like it. But on the textured plastics on the roof rack and a couple pieces near the windows the product streaked and you can...

    2017 Kia Forte, hard or soft paint?

    Gear driven (Flex 3401/XCE/Rupes Mille) do not work well with microfiber pads and are not recommended. Way too grabby.

    Suggestions? Most durable paint sealant, that’s easy on-off?

    I'd be tempted to use Meguiar's Hybrid Paint Coating. Typically I'd never recommend coating a vehicle without polishing first. But in your case it ticks all your boxes for performance, ease of application, etc, and if a ceramic sealant like Griot's 3-in-1 will bond I don't see why this...

    How to remove adhesive from paint

    3M Strip off wheel (attaches to your drill) works great on that kind of thing. At least the thicker parts. Then you only use a little adhesive remover on the tiny bits left behind. I find this process is a lot faster then just using adhesive remover to dissolve it all.

    New to Paint Correction - Help!

    GM white really pops. Not sure what it is, but I always do a second look at every white shiny car I see and it is always a GM product.
