    Headed to Mecum in a couple weeks - reccomendations needed to achieve best depth and gloss on black

    The current OP is not included in the following. In my opinion the cars shown on television are many times grossly over valued. I have seen a few horror stories about cars purchased at BJ and Mecum. It seems like an uneccisarily expensive way to buy a classic car.If I was going to buy a car it...

    Best silicone spray wax for older paint?

    I don't think the durability of a wax has to do with age of the paint. Are you baseing this durability issue on how the paint looks or its ability to bead or shed water? If it is an appearance issue you may need to do a paint correction by claying followed by a cutting polish, finish polish and...

    Headed to Mecum in a couple weeks - reccomendations needed to achieve best depth and gloss on black

    So curiosity had the best of me. I went to the JetHot website and looked up cleaning their coated headers. Their recommendation to remove stains and also they recomend once a year to clean them with aluminum polish. In the example they showed a guy cleaning a set of headers with aluminum polish...

    Headed to Mecum in a couple weeks - reccomendations needed to achieve best depth and gloss on black

    So that is a coating. The new picture they kind of look like stainless. My guess would be that the heat has permanently changed the color.

    Headed to Mecum in a couple weeks - reccomendations needed to achieve best depth and gloss on black

    If you are talking about the exterior paint why not use Collinite 845. That is a very easy to use product that will give that deep gloss look. If you are referring to your headers you said they are ceramic coated.Do they have a gloss finish? All ceramic coated headers that I have seen have a...

    From Pirelli Tire warranty

    Never heard that type of thing from a tire manufacturer. Seems like a "cover you ass" type of statement. How can they make a blanket statement about cleaners and dressings? Guess they are not concerned about the inside tire wall and the multitude of chemicals that get deposited there.

    Does anyone have a good method for adding a cooling hole to the center of a foam pad?

    That is why one traces (with a razor knife) around a washer, or a wooden dowel, anything round. Besides if not a perfect circle I highly doubt it will affect the intended purpose of the hole.

    Does anyone have a good method for adding a cooling hole to the center of a foam pad?

    Well a brand new razor blade in a razor knife is waaaaaaay sharper than a hole punch or a hole saw.

    Why not simply trace around a round object of your choice with a razor knife.

    IK Pro 12 Leak issue

    I recently bought an IK Pro 12 mostly to use for pre soaking during washes. Nice piece of equipment. One issue I have noticed is the wand hose becomes loose especially were it connects to the bottom of the tank. Several times before I have noticed the hose fitting is loose, half of the presoak...

    Drying Aid

    You are missing at least a few of the reasons that I use a drying aid. Yes it does add some lubricate to the surface and chances of inducing scratches but one reason I use a drying aid is to eliminate hard water spots. Another very good reason is its an easy way to add some protection. I do a...

    Drying Aids over SIO2 Products

    So don't know if you have ever used the Turtle Wax "Wax and Dry". How would you compare the Wet Wax to that? I have read a lot of reviews that say streaking is a common issue.

    Drying Aids over SIO2 Products

    Yes, strange that the gallon has the gold sticker and the 17 oz bottle does not. I find it odd that Optimum says nothing about this. Leaving consumers guessing is not a great statagy. Especially for those that are faithful users of their product. Of course they could put one drop of ceramic...

    Rinseless Sponge Users

    Wanted to pass along this deal I got for anyone that is interested. I got (delivered) two rinseless wash sponges for $4.00. Can't recall exact price but the delivered price was between $4.00 & $5.00. I got this deal at Ali Express and may have been a first time buyers deal. They did offer some...
