    Help - Leather Seat Indents From Car Seat

    I don't. I had this one in my car for about 6 months. The seat was needed elsewhere so I took it out, and will likely not put it back in again.

    Help - Leather Seat Indents From Car Seat

    Thanks for the responses guys! I just took it out yesterday, so it looks like I haven't given it enough time yet. I'll wait for a few more days and see how it looks.

    Help - Leather Seat Indents From Car Seat

    I just uninstalled a car seat from my 2016 WRX. It looks like the upper frame and buckle from the Top Tether strap made some really bad/deep indentations in my seats. It looks like not only the leather is stretched, but the foam behind the leather is also indented. I wanted to see if anyone...

    Can't Find A Decent Spray Bottle Trigger

    Don, that is great to hear your DI system is still holding up! I will have to check out the tolco! Also, someone sent me a link about re-charging DI-Resin. I still have some research to do on it, but it might be something you want to check out as well! How to Recharge DI Resin by David...

    Can't Find A Decent Spray Bottle Trigger

    I have a bunch of these 36 oz spray bottles, which are great because of the marked dilution ratios on them. I am having a hard time finding a decent spray nozzle/trigger for them. The ones they came with are flimsy, and don't spray well. I even got my finger caught in the gap between the...

    How come you went with a sealant instead of a coating? Also, whats the deal with that WRX wheel in the background ? :) I have also had good results with Carpro's Water Spot Remover. I initially tried Clay, Vinegar, and Optimum's water spot remover, with no effect. Carpro's Water Spot Remover...

    Coating question

    You can apply any coating to a "Not Perfect" finish, you will just continue to see those swirls and scratches, and not be able to get to them after the coating is on. I can understand wanting the protection of a coating, even if your paint isn't perfect, you just have to make sure you are ok...

    2016 WRX Limited ISM New Car Prep and Optimum Gloss Coated!

    An update on the waterspots... The weekend before last I tried removing the waterspots with a claybar, then distilled vinegar, but neither worked. I ordered Optimum's MDR Water Spot Remover, and Carpro's Water Spot Remover. I finally received them this last Friday, and was able to use both...

    Limited Options On Time Sensitive Water Spot Removal

    Over the weekend I was able to try out Optimum MDR and Carpro's Water Spot Remover. I tried MDR first, and was pretty discouraged when It didn't remove the spots. Initially I was only going to buy MDR, but I figured I would give Carpro's product a shot as well. Well, I am happy I did, because...

    Limited Options On Time Sensitive Water Spot Removal

    So this weekend I gave it a good wash, even used OPC 1:3 on the bad areas. Tried claying, with no effect. Then I tried Vinegar diluted with distilled water 1:1, with no effect. I then tried distilled vinegar at full strength, and that didn't help either. Here is a video of what the water...

    Limited Options On Time Sensitive Water Spot Removal

    My car was attacked by a water sprinkler at work at some point, and was dried by the 80*F sun before I noticed. Immediately when I got home I did a thorough wash, and removed all of the spots, however I can still see some light outlines of the spotting on my windsheld, Hood, and Trunk. I just...

    2016 WRX Limited ISM New Car Prep and Optimum Gloss Coated!

    So last night, I came out to my car after work, to find it covered in waterspots.......:mad: I have parked in the same spot for over a year, and never once have they turned the sprinklers, but I guess someone thought it would be a good idea to turn them on in the middle of the day. Here are...

    2016 WRX Limited ISM New Car Prep and Optimum Gloss Coated!

    It is hard for me to say, because I have yet to drill and tap a lid, and really it comes down to personal preference. Using an inline TDS Meter (If it is reading properly) is the most convenient way to check on your water. Those Inline meters auto shutoff after about 3 min though, so really it...

    2016 WRX Limited ISM New Car Prep and Optimum Gloss Coated!

    I appreciate all of the positive comments everyone! @Bigry18, you should really try a paint coating. If you can polish a car, you shouldn't have any problem applying today's consumer level coatings. The hard part is deciding which one to use! I just broke 1000 miles on the WRX, and am loving...

    2016 WRX Limited ISM New Car Prep and Optimum Gloss Coated!

    So this weekend I finally got a chance to wash the WRX. This was the first wash, 2 weeks after the Gloss-Coat application. Here are a couple of quick videos I took of the water beading/sheeting properties of the coating. This was on a dirty surface, before I had washed the car. I know...
