You probably haven't watched any of the HPC videos then have you? Some common myths are debunked and misconceptions are cleared up about this product. One can really unpack a lot of info by simply getting it from the direct source. One of which is that HPC is "not a true coating". While this...

There is no such thing as "best". I've personally used: - isopropyl alcohol/water mix - Meguiar's M122 Surface Prep - Gyeon Prep Performance wise, there is no discernible difference. They all do the same job. As of late, I choose Gyeon Prep simply because of its scent (I love it). And when...

YEARS per Markus Kleis (former Meguiar's employee who was part of the team who designed HPC.

If your going to start a YT channel and post content you have to be prepared to deal with trolls and/or people who think they know W T F their talking about. It comes with the territory. You can simply just ignore them or you could also disable comments to avoid it entirely but that usually...

I hate doing interiors. I mean mine stays very clean since no one really gets in my truck plus I don't drive it that often. Quick dusting of the dash and console with a MF towel, done. But the wifeys Durango not so much. Got to deal with the kiddos (teens) and their crap and candy wrappers and...

Longer than most other coatings. In one of the Meguiar's videos where they explain the development of HPC, they mention that the use of aerosol was primarily to extend the shelf life. Because, as many of you know, once you crack open a bottle of any coating, the shelf life timer starts ticking...

Had to verify this and sure enough, HPC is no longer found on Meguiar's website and found the post where MK unofficially confirmed its discontinuation.

Saw the video and am intrigued due to eliminating the machine polishing prep step. Apparently Fireball also came out with something like this a few months ago called Wax Off which accomplishes the same thing.

1. Spray and/or foam engine bay with cleaner. Let dwell for 30 seconds. 2. After dwelling, agitate grimy/dirty areas with various brushes particularly in areas where there is a bigger concentration of grime/dirt. 3. Rinse with pressure washer from a reasonable distance avoiding electronical...

See HERE. See HERE. There is a very active thread found HERE. I'm pretty sure you'll get an idea of the favs.

^^^THIS 100%!!!!! Search thoroughly on peoples favs. Pick up a few of them. Try for yourself. Choose what works best FOR YOU.

I never said it only lasted 4 months. Read my post again. I said that it worked solidly for 4 months BEFORE winter hit when I couldn't hand wash any more due to freezing weather. So I could no longer record water behavior after that point. I also said I have not yet performed a decon wash this...

Did your friend say how often he would run it through the touchless wash? Like once a week, twice a month, once a month? If he ran it through the touchless on a frequent basis, at least he is keeping the paint free from surface contaminants which would otherwise slowly eat away at the coating...

HPC performed solidly for 4 straight months (up until it became too cold to hand wash) with NO TOPPERS. Meaning the crazy beading was still there. I made it a point to just simply hand wash with Megs Hyperwash and blow dry/towel dry. This way I could verify its stand alone performance in my...

Markus Kleis, formerly of Meguiar's, took on a position at HF a few years back. Pretty sure he has had something to do with leveling up the quality & performance of the detailing machines they carry now.

And during these 5 months, were there every any sort of toppers, drying aids or spray n rinse sealants added to the paint? Rarely does any detailing enthusiast just wash and dry the paint without spraying something on top for gloss or slickness or beading or all of the above. :p

Well, like anything else, it really all depends on the severity. For most minor splatters, Stoners Tarminator is a top choice. And its available locally. I've never had a situation where it couldn't handle the job. I have some old Turtle Wax tar remover (can't recall the bottle name) that has...

Brother I'm with you on that! Honestly I've gotten REALLY annoyed by these YT detailing "influencers" and channels. So much that lately I've been skipping over their videos in my subscription list to watch something else. Their content has become more revenue motivated while cloaked in a...

Which is why I mix the bucket with a paint mixer stick on a cordless drill. I've always been particular about mixing shampoo in the water and never just used the pressure washer or my hand since that doesn't really fully mix the thicker type of car shampoos.

Pre-treating with a RW is POINTLESS and a waste of product if your going to do a traditional bucket wash. Wait until your vehicle is in a "in-between" wash phase. Somewhere between dusty and lightly soiled. Then try out Absolute the way it was intended to be used. That way you can get the feel...
