    The "Mex" get all the business

    In short.....they have that business because those people are cheap and not because they are Mexicans. Anthony

    Quick Reviews : Optimum Products

    It's possible for this type of sprayer to work with the OB but you may have to dilute it at 2:1. The Wagner electric sprayer works pretty good but I still prefer application via an air compressor and paint gun. Reason being is that you want a fine spray for best results and the Wagner can spit...

    Where are the Texas detailers at??!!

    He can contact me through PM or Email, [email protected]. As long as he doesn't need any work done right away I should be able to get to him in the next 2 weeks. I can meet with him before that though to evaluate his car and talk with him about what he is looking for as far as detail...

    NEW! System One!!!

    I'm actually very familiar with the System One product, in terms of its history. It was demoed at the Car Care Expo here in San Antonio with Keven Farell. My statement was meant to be rather tongue-n-cheek and not a put down of System One because I'm sure the new formula works very well but to...

    NEW! System One!!!

    So let me get this right.....there is a "new" polish that claims to go from the cutting/polishing step to the finishing step by way of pads and there is no need to remove the polish residue but rather you can just polish over it? There is also a spray wax that can be used on wet or dry cars, can...

    Opti-Seal on windshields ROCKS!

    After market tint is on the inside of glass, not the outside, so sealants and such would not be a factor there. You don't want to apply wax or sealants on the inside of glass (tint or no tint) as this may be a problem if condensation builds up and "beads" up on the glass making visibility very...

    New Optimum Products?

    Yep, they are a few new products and a few updates. The new QD is very slick and really brightens up paint but it needs just a bit more tweaking. Hopefully this last tweak will be the one. The wheel cleaner is very nice and also can be used on tires and engines. It will replace the degreaser...

    New Formula for Optimum Protectant and Tire Shine?

    The new Pro+ has a "new car" smell and a bit thicker. Same great low sheen and same great UV protection. Non greasy....in fact you can't really tell it's on the material, very low sheen look. The new tire shine is more workable and user friendly. Works through a sprayer or by sponge application...

    Help: Rotary Buffer Use

    Your first advice from me would be to RELAX......... don't forget to breath, don't place a death grip on the rotary handle. That handle is not there for you to steer the rotary with either. Proper rotary work should look as if it's an extension of your upper body. It shouldn't be tense, jerky...

    Question about OCW

    We're still hammering out a few details on the new Optimum spray wax but I can tell you that it has a slightly different smell which is very pleasant to the nostrils and it also doesn't separate like the original formula although it's recommended it be shaken every so often. It is much slicker...

    Clean, Clayed, used Optimum and....

    Also, don't expect to see any paint transfer to your pads or towels. In a nutshell the clear has separated but it's still covering the pigmented paint. It's possible that this is a repainted piece but either way the clear has failed. Anthony

    Clean, Clayed, used Optimum and....

    That's not oxidation as clears don't really oxidize like single stage paints. Claying does nothing against oxidation so that won't help either.....what you seem to have there is paint failure and not amount of product or buffing will fix it. UV absorbers are added to paint as it's being applied...

    Steel Wool

    Don't use steel wool on glass as using it on todays glass can cause fine scratches which can then become cloudy and hazed as those fine scratches fill in with grit and grime. Good luck cleaning the glass from that. Most of todays chrome is plastic also (at least decorative wise) so be careful...

    Stained seat belts

    Go to a store that deals in webbed materials, like a search and rescue outfitter as they use a lot of seat belt type materials, and ask them the best and SAFEST method of cleaning that type of material. Anthony

    Video: Rinse & Wash

    Has more slickness, evaporates faster and some have said (beta testers) that it has a tad more gloss. Should be ready in the next few weeks. And thank you for your compliments and you're very welcome for the video. Anthony

    Video: Rinse & Wax This is a really quick video I did a some time back of how it's possible to wash with No Rinse and then wax that area in one quick easy step. No Rinse & Wax Enjoy, Anthony *Video title should read "Rinse & Wax" not Rinse & Wash.....my bad

    waxing and glazing..

    The reason I do not like or use a glaze is I find that the oils of most glazes float around on top of the paint thus making wax or sealers difficult to lay down properly. Now I have not used ALL glazes but those that I have, like 3M hand glaze, #7, Menzerna, Hi-Temp and One Grand, have all...

    waxing and glazing..

    There are no oils to replace in paint. You can't "feed" paint nor can you nourish paint. That's a myth perpetuated by clever marketing back in the early Zymol days, and sadly it continues today. In my personal opinion glazes are a waste and more trouble than help. Clean and prep the paint then...
