Here is some important information to understand when it comes to the factory hardcoat of automotive headlamps: All OEM headlamp lenses are required to meet the abrasion and chemical tests cited in the DOT lighting regulations. All OEM headlamp lenses follow an SAE standard for a 3 year UV...

Still waiting to hear what the water spotting source is. I have NEVER got difficult water spotting from rain which couldn't be cleaned off with another wash.

Personally, I say stop using BM on top since its obviously altering the water behavior. Let the coating do its thing. Perform your maintenance washes on a regular basis and keep a close watch on water behavior. As Guz said, decon wash quarterly. As for picking up the left over water droplets...

Assuming after sandblasting you'll finish them out to polished aluminum again... Pros: Clearcoat will keep the finish protected just like the paint on your car. And you can wash them and wax them just like the paint on your car. Cons: Will dull and stain really quickly when exposed to water...

THIS. Leave Cancoat be and let it do its thing! No need to put anything on top so soon. Follow Gyeon specific instructions on how to maintain it. For rinseless, use N914.

Right. The mechanical function of wiping off the panel prep with a MF towel is crucial to creating a clean surface ready for the protection layer.

Find an online dilution calculator. Enter the amount of the water. Enter the dilution ratio. Hit enter. Then convert the ounces (oz) to milliliter (ml) using another online converter. 0.1 oz is about 3 ml. Use those little measuring cups that come with your cold/flu/cough medicines. That is...

What does the scent smell like?

What does the scent smell like?

I know exactly what you mean. Where I'm at, we usually have a consistent breeze (I live next to Lake Michigan) and coupled with summer heat, the soap dries pretty quickly for me. But that's ok. Soap drying on paint is completely fine and safe. It *should* rinse free. If the soap is still...

I liked 303 when I used it. Foamed really good, cleaned pretty good and its color changing formula for tires is something you don't see for any other tire cleaner. Not sure its useful but cool to look at I guess, LOL! Only problem is the price. $25 for a bottle is just way too steep (even if it...

I totally recommend G2 for caliper paint. I used it to paint the calipers on our Durango. Easy to work with, self leveling and very glossy. 15 months so far and 1 Chicago winter and they still look freshly painted.

Spray and rinse silica products are nothing new. They've been around for a number of years now. They all essentially perform the same upon initial contact which is to provide instant beading to any flat water surface. Longevity on the other hand is debatable between all the brands. This new...

For what specific purpose are you needing to foam the SUV down with Carpro Reset? Its a ph neutral soap so pre-foam is not going to breakdown grime or major soiling, but it will just loosen up the loose surface dirt before you do an actual contact wash. Instead of an expensive IK foamer, you...

I would be irate if it were me. Probably enough to call the township and give a piece of my mind!

Oh my bad. That caliper is painted? Really? Looked like a typical factory rough cast finish. Factory painted or by you?

Usually cast iron calipers will clean up the best with an acid cleaner. It will brighten it up though (not darken) to a near factory finish. You can't darken cast iron aside from spraying with a oil like substance (but why would you want to do that?). Just be very careful of other surrounding...

Have you tried TW Hyper Foam Tire cleaner yet? You really need to. It's that good. I washed my sons Cruze yesterday. Its been 30 days since I washed it last. Parks outside 24-7 and he drives it daily. 2 applications of the cleaner and the tire is coating ready. I've tried many tire cleaners...

I hate cleaning interiors :p so most of the time I just use N914 in QD dilution to wipe dust and smudges and wipe down the leather seats. But I have been wanting to try out Gyeon Interior Detailer. Todd@ESOTERIC says HERE that its his fav interior detailer and works on every surface. As for...

Thank you both for the info. I did not know that sio2 was still left behind from PRIMER after a panel wipe. Jeff@GYEON says HERE that waiting at least 15 minutes before a panel wipe is recommended to allow the sio2 to bond. I've had a bottle of PRIMER for a while now just never tried it. Now I...
