    Optimum Power Clean

    Can use it on pretty much everything, I use 1:10 on all interior 1:3 on wheels/tires. I use it on non car stuff as well, for ex. use it to clean my white soles on my sneakers. No bad smell left on carpets, I feel like it smells better when applied rather than just smelling it from bottle...when...

    How well can UC correct?

    I agree UC is a great product, and for myself who works by hand (my only option) it is truly a life saver lol. I just wanted to point out with my experience with my soft paint the first time I used it years ago i was floored by how UC finished with an orange pad, it looked lsp ready (although I...

    How well can UC correct?

    I agree. I use UC by hand on my paint thats soft and although it does correct swirls and looks great/ready for lsp, when in full sunlight (or at night with a cars headlights shining on it), you can see it needs to be refined by a light polish with white pad (AIO, swirlx or other polish product)...

    Help! Bird dropping have etched the clearcoat on my car. How do I fix?

    Its normal since bird bombs are acidic, sometimes youll get lucky if you have protection on your car and its not sitting for a long time or it can be less of an impact on the clearcoat. You can try Meguiars Ultimate compound by hand using CCS Euro Foam Applicators to help remove it to a decent...

    Drying towel : cobra supreme guzzler or cobra guzzler hd?

    Its possible because although the supreme guzzler is offered in bigger sizes, its a pure waffle weave towel with a weight density of 350g, the guzzler hd towel is a waffle weave towel with a foam (think sponge) layer in between the waffle material with density of 295g each side/590g total, thus...

    Drying towel : cobra supreme guzzler or cobra guzzler hd?

    I spray a couple of spritz of optimum instant detailer but can use it dry (since I use ONR and it will get damp with it from drying).. I lay it flat and rub my hand over it, lift it up and place it on next area, do the similar thing on vertical panels but hold with one hand to keep in place. No...

    How to remove streaks from OCW and which spray wax doesn't streak?

    To be fair its possible it streaked on other cars but you couldnt tell as black is easy to pick up things like that vs say a white car. In any event refer to my previous post as I use several optimum products and apply it to my black metallic paint, use water to spread over applied or dried areas.

    How to remove streaks from OCW and which spray wax doesn't streak?

    Streaks can happen if temp on panel is warm, or over applied, or trying to cover a large area and it dries before you wipe. I would recommend using an applicator to spray ocw on and then apply, I use meguiars even coat white mf applicators. Anyway, do not polish, you can use a spray bottle...

    We all talk about make overs, what about maintenance?

    I wash every week and final wipe/dry with instant detailer, a quick wipe down of wheels with left over ONR from my wash... Every two weeks clean wheels/tires with apc and reapply dressing since my wheels usually dont get that dirty, partly because I have ceramic brake pads..and the tire dressing...

    Should I remove NEW Alloy rims for the winter or is sealing them enough?

    The best bet is to switch them out, but i dont. Just make sure to not let them sit for many days, the sooner the better to rinse them off by spraying an apc like optimum power clean and/or with something like ONR.

    Picked up new car. Newbie needs advice..!

    Maybe someone else can chime in on CG products/polishes, i havent used that line. I work by hand so I prefer products geared for that use, I use optimum poli seal which is an all in one (polish and sealant) abd is a must have product in my opinion or meguiars swirlx.

    Picked up new car. Newbie needs advice..!

    After claying i would always polish, in my opinion clay will always marr to some degree, some clay more then others..re washing isnt needed, but you can just go over it with a quick detailer and plush towel. if your still undecided, pull the car under the sunlight after claying and if you dont...
