    Best option for sun faded seat belt latches? These are bad

    I think the turtle wax trim coating or tire coating would work well also. It did a real good job darkening my gray cladding on my Avalanche.

    Gonna buy a steamer???

    Good price right there. I ended up buying a mytee firebird instead. I'm hoping the steam is a little dryer.

    rupes 15 increased vibration after washer mod

    Is there a problem with an 8mm washer? That's what I've got in mine right now. I've been meaning to grind down a 5/16" but I managed to round off the head of the allen bolt holding the backing plate on.

    Ah well this is awkward ................. :laughing: I always figured some of them had a good reason. Like they wear glasses and only have there prescription sunglasses with them. But still I see way too many people out there driving through heavy storms with their sunglasses on. Doesn't seem...

    2015 Subaru outback Opti Coated

    Sorry if I missed it tdekany, but what machine did you use with the Amerirocks? Also about how many passes are you able to make before it dries out on you? I know it's a great compound but it has been a total fail for me the first few times I've tried it on my Rupes 15. But seeing great results...

    Kwazar Mercury Pro Spray Bottles

    I had one of mine fall apart on me too. The sprayer separates in half just above where it screws into the bottle. The reason it stops spraying is because there is a small ball bearing in there that falls out when it separates. I ended up going to a bicycle repair shop and they hooked me up with...

    So they say coatings need bare paint to bond to ...

    Hmmm never tried Blacklight before. I have had good success with amigo and blackfire GEP topped with Blackfire Wet Diamond. It's too bad this PBL experiment was a fail because the paint was looking awesome the first week.

    So they say coatings need bare paint to bond to ...

    True. I believe Amigo is supposed to be acrylic as well. I thought others have done durability tests with Amigo in the past and the conclusion was it does not have much if any negative impact on the LSPs longevity.

    Ain't that the truth! I did manage to score some D114 in a trade however. It's good but certainly not as good as UWW+

    So they say coatings need bare paint to bond to ...

    Of course I've been putting this off for a while. Long story short it did not go well! I'd say after a month at the most the amigo had worn off and all the swirls and ugliness returned. Any protection that remained was minimal. It still beaded a little bit but it was quickly fading. I couldn't...

    What really grinds your gears

    Don't worry I can PM you the address of their clubhouse. I recommend you knock very loudly around 3AM. And if they want to know how you found them just tell them Sonny sent you.

    2014 Porsche Cayenne Swirl HELL!

    So one of two things is probably happening here. Either you need to get more aggressive with your pad selection to really knock out the deeper defects. Or quite possibly your towels are causing some marring as you wipe off your compound and polish. Porsche paint tends to be on the softer side...

    Cq uk (reload)

    Oh gotcha. Well since you're not done correcting it you might as well just polish off the aquawax. IPA might remove it but then again it might not. I wouldn't take that chance personally considering all the work you've put in already.
