    How to avoid the typical Collinite haze?

    Interesting problem. I have never used Collinite. I have used various Carnauba waxes. I have experienced similar hazing. The paint will look perfect and mirror like. Then the next day I will have a haze or a foggy look. It will buff right out with a QD and microfiber. I attributed it to the...

    Another Clear Bra predicament

    I just traded a 2008 Toyota Sequoia with 3M clear Bra. This color does make the film look a little yellow. Not bad, depends on the lighting as to how clear or yellowish a tint it shows.

    Hoses

    I bought mine from griots garage. Lifetime warranty. Had my 1st one from them for 6or7 years. It eventually developed a hole. I called them up and they asked me to take a couple of photos of the hose and failure. I did that and they told me to toss it while they sent me a new replacement.
