I noticed that there is what looks like cured product at the bottom of my bottle of Ultima tire and trim guard plus. It looks like about 1/4oz has solidified at base of the bottle. There was no change after shaking it for a couple minutes.
Has anyone encountered anything like this?
I have not noticed that, I find upw has a nice scent even after washing it out of the applicator. I did use a separate foam applicator however, not the one included in the package.
IMHO I don't think the small amount of gasoline that could have possibly contaminated your pad would affect the...
I've never used dakota odor bombs, i thought they were mainly for removing odors?
I use an air freshener called "Poppy" it lasts forever and smells good. If you can find it i would recommend it.
I know people also use scott air fresheners in cars but i find it overpowering - i don't know if...
To avoid all the things you stated I think a paint cleaner will be your best bet. Although meguiars gold class wax isn't difficult to remove so i would just add some apc in the wash solution (0.5oz/gallon). I've never used griots paint prep, sorry.
I get a solid 5 months out of 845...it will still be there at 6 months but the beading and sheeting starts to fall off around that time.
I have found the same with gold class wax, very poor durability.
I get about 3-4 months of solid beading/sheeting then performance begins to fall off rapidly. I use ONR/QD to clean my windshield and windows. Where I live it's pretty hot year round (when it isn't raining).
System Restore does much more than that. System restore can restore your computer to a point before a program was installed or a point before a program was uninstalled. Programs are user files, stored in the "program files/program files x86" folders.
I saw a thread where someone polished and opticoated a panel that had cc failure. I believe it worked to at least prevent the paint from getting worse. I think the thread was on autopia.
Also If you want to wax a panel with cracks in the paint you would need to use a wax/sealant that dries...
While not its designed use, system restore will restore user files in certain situations, that is, if the file was recently moved from one directory to another. If the file was permanently deleted then system restore would not be able to recover it.
Did you locate/recover the files? Some suggestions:
1.If you know any of the file names or folder names you can do a file search and locate where the files are if you moved them somewhere else by accident. Be sure to include hidden folders. - This seems like what most likely happened.
2.Enable...
Just an update if anyone in the future has a similar problem.
As soon as I finished applying to a panel I used a clean, dry microfiber to buff the dash/panel and BAM! one dark, low gloss finish (both in the shade and direct sunlight) :D . Man this stuff looks good. Thanks again ihaveacamaro.
