Hey there everybody! I have a question for you. I think this is the right forum for this (seemed like the best fit; there are so many). I've been restoring every pair of oxidized headlights I can get my hands on, but my main concern has been sealing them against further UV damage. I know some...

I wonder, would the original Opti-Coat fair better than the 2.0 version for this job? I honestly don't know too much about either one.

Would this work with the PC?

Here you go. :xyxthumbs:

Gorgeous car and a fantastic job you did!

I just put some water and a random amount of whatever car wash detergent I happen to be using at that time into a clean spray bottle. It hasn't failed me in ten years.

Hahahaha! Wow, I'd be writing him a nice little letter explaining his idiocy and why he won't be a client of mine in the future, and that he can find some other detailer to harass.

I have three main hobbies that dominate my life: detailing, calligraphy, and flashlights. I use a high-CRI (color rendering index) 4Sevens Quark for my detailing needs, which works even better than my warm-white Quark. It's efficient, reliable, has a five year warranty, and renders colors worlds...

Thanks everyone! Looking forward to posting lots of stuff here in the future. :dblthumb2: Not with this kit (39008), but one of the lens "renewal" kits they make (39045) has a sample of protectant (3M Performance Finish "Superior Waxing Solution"). But they also sell a renewal kit without the...

How else are you supposed to get that stubborn, caked-on cologne smell out?…

All the time. I've had great luck cleaning soft-touch interior trim with them. My last car had a bunch of grit down in the crevices of the soft-touch sections on the door and dash and the eraser took it right out without damaging anything. And you can usually find a house brand for cheap.

Wow! Great job!

Great job!

Great job! I never get tired of seeing dirty clay bars. It's the same disgusting, socially frowned upon fascination I feel when using Biore pore strips. Gotta see that result!

Awesome! Normally I wouldn't create a zombie thread, but your excellent photos representing the tiny cracks deserve seeing again. :)

Wow! Fantastic job! You really brought that paint back to life. I love seeing older cars in showroom condition. There's just something special about it.
