    Window tinting question

    Thanks Mark, I have a pair of prescription glasses - kinda tinted a light yellow, that are supposed to help with glare. But it simply hasn't worked for me.

    Window tinting question

    I just spoke to a tint shop and yep, it's a ticketable offense in NJ. But tinting does not affect the car's ability to pass inspection. Looking at so many tinted cars, it seems not to be enforced, particularly if the tint is not a really dark shade. My question would be how do they reconcile...

    Window tinting question

    Thanks, I will check the tint laws here in NJ, but I should have been more specific. To those drivers who have problems with oncoming headlight glare (I would think cataracts) did having tint placed on the windshield help or not.

    Window tinting question

    Ok, window tinting can help keep the car cooler in the sun as well as keep prying eyes from seeing into the car. But here's the question. I have some small cataracts in both eyes and when driving at night, though I can see well (with my glasses) I have trouble with oncoming headlights affecting...

    Lone Star Tire Coating

    Hmmn, I did not know that - never heard of a cleaner needed lacquer thinner. I have used TuffShine with their cleaner and in my case it lasted less than 3-4 months. Tires were new and off the car, I scrubbed them many, many times and applied 2 coats of TS. This time around, I availed myself of...

    PBMG brands 40% off on Autogeek!

    Mike you are a real gentleman as evidenced by your reply (and the million other ones). I've been active on so many forums/owner groups over the years - Audi, Porsche, Festool as well as detailing forums and I have never understood why anyone would post about a customer service/product issue on a...

    Ammo Frothe vs CarPro ECH2O on Ceramic Coating

    I was looking at Echo, but realized when perusing CarPro's site and saw Ultima's WW and realized I still had a full bottle left. I do like Ultima though and have using it - sparingly as a WW for a few years. But I wonder how it compares to Echo?

    Where do I find these mat covers?

    I did not know these even existed. These could be the ticket for my Subaru, replacing the all weather mats for the spring to fall seasons. Thanks for posting.

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Speaking of Mazda's - mine is that Polymetal grey - Carbon Edition with the red/maroon seats. Absolutely looks different depending on the light. Washed it the other day and did a quick one with Griot's Garage Speed Shine and Best of Show Detailer that I had laying around. The pic of the car in...

    P&S Bead Maker VS Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating

    I have close to a gallon of BeadMaker left in my garage and I was kinda expecting more given its hype. As mentioned, durability was an issue. Sooooo, if anyone in the NE/NJ area wants to pick it up - be my guest. I'm a big Griot's fan and am curious about this for for wife's Subaru. What is a...

    2020 McLaren 720S Spider MSO

    As usual, wonderful work. But I had the same thoughts as the others - why no PPF and how do you pay/they charge 51k for a paint job that has swirls and worse that are so very obvious? I guess I just don't understand some people's logic. You just gotta know that there will be at best small...

    Expel or 3m Protection PPF

    I hope that is not the case and we can get some clarification from someone at Xpel. I think that would be a huge flag for installers to either miss or not pass on to their customers.

    Leather care - conditioner, sealant, coating or water?

    I thought saddle soap was way too alkaline for auto leather?

    Leather care - conditioner, sealant, coating or water?

    Yep, I'm reading up on a few of the products - no urgency as my car is only a few months old and have already applied a product - Nextzett Leather Care soon after I bought my car. Very nice product and if suddenly there were no other leather cleaning/conditioning products available in the...

    Leather care - conditioner, sealant, coating or water?

    Question is more about care of the the very popular coated leathers in today's cars. I know leather care is a topic with those who say just keep it clean (100% agree) and add nothing. And I also know it can be another detailing rabbit hole. But for those who want to do more, do you find a...

    Question for you guys who live in a blizzard..

    Not a thing! BUT, I have not driven them yet in anything but a few inches of snow. I did a lot of research before making my choice on this tire. So far they are quiet and hug the road. Solid grip in rain. In the few inches with a bit of ice underneath they were very sure footed. I will get a...
