    Help me with order of least aggressive to most

    I'm using cquartz. I think opti coat has the most durability, BUT I think cquartz has the most gloss and wet look when clean. Also I personally don't mind polishing the coating off and re applying it after 2 years or so.

    Help me with order of least aggressive to most

    Acura/Honda paint is tremendously soft. I also have a Black TL. If you wash improperly you create massive swirls on that car. Your best bet, take it from experience and from owning many honda's including a black TL. Try your best to correct the car as well as you can, then use a permanent...

    APC Review: DP vs. BF vs. CG

    I recently did a test similiar to this myself to see which cleaner works the best on rubber mats. My personal end conclusion was a interior cleaner meant for plastic vinyl and rubber as it also left a slight protection behind which has made wiping off after salty days very easy. In my personal...

    best polish for paint in good condition??

    For yours needs (my opinion). Meguiars M205, or menzerna sf4000, ipa 10% (alcohol) wipe down, your favourite lsp, then apply glaze as you like as a beauty product. Applying glaze under your lsp will reduce the durability of your lsp greatly.

    best polish for paint in good condition??

    Sounds like your working by hand? I would use something like m205. It has great work time and doesn't dry up like menz products do. At least there finishing polishes te d to by hand. They really excel with machine if you have one. Then any wax is fine. In your Instance I would try and stay away...

    SON1C Synopsis 13 Sonax Wheel Cleaner vs Chemical Guys Diablo GEL Orange

    What vehicle was that rim from? Re try this test on badly soiled audi rims, i bet you'll like the sonax more! This is really a cleaner you should set aside for very tough jobs. Or else its horribly expensive as a cleaner to be part of your regular routine.

    Optimum Opti-Coat Review - Update after 15 Months

    Corvette/ceramicler clear coats are not scratch resistant. They are quite a bit tougher to correct but they scratch/swirl up just the same. Not quite as fast as softer clear like honda but by no means scratch or swirl resistant. Also ceramiclear is similar to opti-coat, the ceramic qualities are...

    Menzerna is my go to product for most all german paints. Except porsche, much softer clear. On audi/vw my test spot usual starts out with orange pad and menz sip. Then I adjust from there.

    Megs 105/205 versus Megs UC/UP

    With proper technique UC can be very effective. Its great value for the dollar. If you were to get yourself some 105 you could use it as a straight up replacement for UC or reserve it for tough jobs, such as harder clear coats. 205 is an excellent polish as well. Most like it for its long work...

    Ford tells 89,000 Escape, Fusion owners to park cars because of engine fire risk

    From a reliability stand point I'll take a Japanese car 9 times out of 10. Are they perfect.....no where near it. All cars should be bullet proof for the prices being paid and the technology available. That being said domestic cars arnt up to my standards yet. Owning a Japanese car for 3 Yeats...
