supposedly OPT is changing the scent on the their protectant as well as making it slightly thicker, does anyone know how to tell the new version? Pete

do you have clay already? There are some OTC options if you've forgot to get some, so no worries... Pete

What I really love about AG... 1) great selection of products, the best online! 2) friendliest online forums 3) awesome customer service, Dwayne helped me out with my microfibers more than 3 MONTHS after I bought them when I started having problems with them linting! Pete

I would like one!

:applause:Agree 100% with you on this. My friends come over and look at all my gear and see "poorboys" and think I'm not using good chemicals or that its cheap stuff and don't want it used on their car. Poorboys has some of the best-performing and easiest to use products, IMHO. Pete

How have you been using it? I've had much better luck not wiping it off after misting it from a spray bottle to my tires. If you wipe it off, you'll take most of the dressing off (some people like this matte look this will give). I'll come back to the rims like 20 minutes later with some...

I love the stuff. Pretty low gloss dressing, NO sling issues, I get about 2+ weeks for durability . Not bad for a water-based dressing, especially when you compare price of gallons of the stuff. Pete

I think the blue retail Clay Magic 100g blue bars are different than the 200g ones ordered online, but don't quote me on that... Pete

Cobra Indigo 6 Inch Microfiber Bonnets!

used to be a 303 user until I realized OPT Protectant offered all the same benefits at a much lower price (at least when purchased in a gallon size). my .02, Pete

Optimum Protectant + user here as well, love the stuff for interior and engine dressing. Pete

I think I've had mine since Feb/March as well, can anything be done to help our situation if we purchased them that long ago? Here's a pic of how my Cobras lint now... I only wash them with other "boutique" microfiber and air dry them, so I'm thinking these simply might have been a bad...

PO106FF ONR (because it has 4 different uses, that it does well) Porter Cable Quality Microfiber (Tie) Optimum Protectand Plus / Duragloss 105 Pete

Sure, here is one right after application: After 20 minutes: After 4 days: As you can see, the look isn't that super "high-gloss", but doesn't change all that much. You can get it to be more glossy by applying a second coat about 20 minutes later. Hope this helps... Pete

I'm surprised no one mentioned Optimum Tire Shine. Looks great, no sling, is water-based, and is cheap as compared to most other tire dressings (especially if you get the gallon). Its a no-brainer for me.
