Hey guys! I know you're all probably tired of these Opti-Coat and Cquartz threads. Sorry lol. But I read through many and have a few more questions. Which product looks better? It's hard to tell from the pictures in Corey's review. He says that OC gives more depth while CQ pops more. Has...

I use Meguiar's APC+. A gallon is only like $14 and I dilute it to 4:1 or 5:1. It works very well for me. Amazing Roll Off is also a popular choice.

As Dubbin1 said, 845 is pretty good stuff and can stand alone. You can use a sealant before it, but it's not completely necessary. If anything, you could top 845 with something else to enhance the look (but again, not necessary). As for the AIO, I would do a test spot. If you do a test paint...

It'll be a little less than 14 ounces. How much less depends on how much you've used.

I'm not sure how long it was actually in contact but it's been there for a couple of months now. I'll ask him next time I see him.

Quick update First of all, thanks everyone for the replies. I tried it last weekend with Meg's APC+. It didn't even touch it. I'll be placing an order soon and will get OPC, which people seem to have much better results with. Hopefully that works. I do have a magic eraser, but I'm debating...

First off, congratulations on the new car! It looks really nice. If you haven't picked it up yet, make sure to tell the dealer NOT to wash/detail/touch your car. They will only put swirls and holograms in it. I would consider one of the new coatings that Gondee mentioned, like Opti-Coat or...

I think that's definitely the best way. What worries me more than getting water spots is that the cool water will make the metal contract. If you do it a lot, it could potentially crack your paint. EDIT I just realized I was doing the same. Although my car isn't black, it is relatively dark...

Well it makes it harder. The soap can dry and leave marks which are annoying to get out. The water will dry faster and leave water marks. Also pouring cold water on hot metal causes it to contract, which isn't too good for it.

Aquapel! I used it for the first time about 5 months ago and it's just starting to wear off.

Sounds cool! I just got a new camera a few weeks ago, so I'll definitely have good pictures :xyxthumbs:

Okay thanks guys! I was going to get OPC anyways with this memorial day sale. If not, the only APC I have is Meguiar's APC+. At what concentration is that safe for leather?

Hey guys. A friend of my mom's has a Toyota Sienna with leather seats. He folded down the seats and put a piece of cardboard over them, then transported some tires with the van. Apparently the leather slid a bit or didn't completely cover the seat, and there are some pretty set in stains on the...

I was looking up car washing techniques. I remember my first order, some soap, grit guards, and like 5 towels lol. It's escalated from there...

It's amazing stuff! I've been using it as my main car soap for about a year and a half now.

Alright, that's what I was looking for! Thanks a lot!

Hey guys! I'm going to be detailing my first motorcycle tomorrow. My friend is getting ready to sell his Suzuki SV650. It's in pretty good condition, but I have a few questions before I start on it. First, are there any parts I need to cover before spraying it with water? I know motorcycles are...

Oh, even better! I misread it. Thanks!

Can I try the Leather Cleaner please? Thanks a lot, it's very generous of you!

That's a nice look! Not overly glossy IMO, about right where I like it. Another CarPro product for me to try on my next order!
