    Topper for CarPro Cquartz UK Edition

    I've also used CanCoat to maintain the longevity of CQUK 3.0. During the winter months though that's not possible - so this year I used Kenotek Show Room Shine after waterless washes.

    Hose nozzle

    Well - I was researching replacements for mine for this year - I've found the Melnor brand to be pretty reputable and seems to be well reviewed: Melnor Option #1 Melnor Option #2 Both are Thumb Control - but #1 also is trigger driven and #2 has more spray pattern options with no...

    Sunjoe 25deg nozzle

    Yup - I also use 25 Deg all the time - no problem at all - just like the 40 Deg watch how close you get.... Also MTM Hydro has nozzle replacements (I went with the 3.0 sizing for the SunJoe 3000): MTM Hydro Nozzle Replacement Pack

    Quick winter wash/ wax recommendations

    A completely touchless ideal is really not enough.... I've tried using (FYI - My cars are all coated (CQ 3.0 or McKees37)): Basic rinse with PW Foaming with CC SnoFoam Adding a pre rinse on top of that with 3D Pre Soak All of the above = no joy in completely cleaning the car - you need some...

    Electric pressure washer recommendations?

    I've been happy with my SunJoe 3000 - Also the connection is just a 14MM vs 15MM - you can easily find a quick connect for that at MTM Hydro: 14MM Coupler FYI - AR and few others also use 14MM vs 15MM...... So likely you may need the coupler even if you avoid SunJoe.:dunno:

    Dremel for headlight restoring/polishing?

    I wouldn't - very small footprint + high speed = over removal of material and localized results..... I've had good luck with a drill and 3" Pads::props: Lake County 3" Backing Plate Foamed Wool Pad Pick your poison for Polishing Compound... I used McKees Headlight Polish - but everyone has...

    Ceramic coatings application vs ambient temperature....

    The best for colder temps - would be CQUK - but even then I also found 50 deg is about the lower limit.... I did have good luck with Gyeon CanCoat in high 40 deg temps though - so you could try that - it's a coating lite - but certainly an option for now. I also just finally tried Kenotek...

    Power washer upgrade help

    MTMHydroParts.Com – MTM Hydro Parts I originally had that hose recommended in their listing (from Amazon) - and it burst after about 6 months of bi-monthly (12 times) usage.... And it was definitely not kink free....:rolleyes: I've since upgraded to MTM's Hose (and gun + Quick Connects +...

    looking for a suggestion for a cooking gadget

    So once you have a smoker (I have a propane camp chef) - you'll definitely want a few thermometers: I like Maverick: PT-100 Instant Read XR-50 Smoker / Cook Monitor - Multi Probe

    Tenkor Apex Zero -G Water hose. (Or other choices)

    I've had a 25Ft Zero G that I use for the Pressure Washer Connection for ~3 Years now - no issues - and it's setup in the winter around the shrubs and rock wall - so it gets caught up every once in while. I bought it because it's light weight and easy to carry around with the PW.... They are...

    Turtle Wax Hybrid Spray Coating - Are the reviews misleading?

    Well for me - I use Gyoen Can Coat for the goals you are suggesting: 1 - Fairly easy to apply 2 - Length of durability = it may not make 6 months - but I see 3 with some simple maintenance It will need to be polished / compounded off for removal - but to me that's a difficult option to...

    My new (to me) 2010 Audi S4, Prestige! :) Come join me through this journey...

    Welcome to the S4 Family:righton: I'm certianly no expert - but I absolutely find the Audi Paint to be hard on my 2012. I find FG400 is a good option - but I also had luck with CarpPro Essence using Uro-Fibre Pads on PC7424XP Here's the Trunk Lid on mine after Essense Polish with and UK3.0 -...

    Need some advise..

    Doesn't sound like this is the start of a business - just helping out someone who recognizes they don't have the time, technique or products to do it properly. Why not just ask him to come over and help.... If they can't help - simply ask them how much they are willing to pay? If they provide...

    Bad application of CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0 ceramic coating. Advise needed! Thx

    I would not be scared away by the experience so far - I found a few spots days later = simple light polishing and lighter reapplication over effected areas turned out just fine. I used essence prior and to re-polish - worked well. You've already been able to clean it up - just re-apply a...

    Drying aid mixture - Wolfgang Uber - SONAX BSD

    Agreed - anytime it's over freezing and sunny on a weekend in the winter - I'll use WGU to RW the cars - no issues.:props: If they are really covered in salt and it's too cold I simply hit the Self Sprayer bay at the car wash first and drive out and RW there (I can generally do the car in 15...

    1997 Camaro Z28 brought back to life

    Excellent Work - the LT1 4th gens never get much love.... Nice to see one cleaned up! Interesting - I may remove the spoiler on my 96 at some point to clean under it if it's really that easy...

    Winter Storage: Blanket under Car Cover?

    I stored my Camaro outside for a few years with a heavy NOAH - worked out fine - as long as you are not removing the cover until spring and are prepared to clean up the car after removal. But yeah - blanket will do way more damage than anything to help.... You need to purchase a proper cover...

    applying Ceramic coat over Zaino CS

    As a former Zaino user - I would absolutely agree - remove it first - I found newer products just like clean paint to adhere better.... Also - I moved from Zaino into Sealants - and now onto Coatings.... My favorite Sealant replacement product to Zaino was the Sonax Polymer Net Shield... But...

    Any of these marks fixable without a DA polisher?

    I start by attacking marks like this with Scratch X by hand: Meguiar's Scratch X I would expect you'll get some good results just with that - but the ideal way is machine polishing as noted...:buffing: FYI - I often find Scratch X on shelves at Walmart or most chain auto parts stores - so if...
