    Odd situation - extremely sticky paint? Pads squeeling, hopping...then POOF.

    Would the presence of iron contaminants make a traditional clear coated paint sticky ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Prototype RW V.17 Review

    Sounds a lot like crystal seal polymers infused Wolfgang rinse less wash (the only PBMG lineup without one already) [emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    *NEW* BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating!

    I was told by Ray (Autopia) not to layer it as it may have issues. Manufacturer also doesn't make a mention of layering (which is a common slogan for most LSPs so if it's missing, it must not be recommended). I personally tried a second layer after 24 hours (with car unused) and give it a very...

    HD Speed - wax or sealant?

    Speed=75%polish 25%poxy Don't wipe off after finishing section pass. Do whole car and then remove. This gets you better durability. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    *NEW* BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating!

    There is an improved 2015 version which is said to have resolved the issue. For 2014, you will have to dilute and I didn't issues with 1:4 (meant more like a QD/drying aid). Besides you are putting a coating on, worrying for top ups should be the last thing. Put it to test and see how it goes...

    *NEW* BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating!

    I used reload 1:4 as a drying aid spraying on towel and it worked great adding a bit more gloss. It was the 2014 version and Color was black but I didn't notice any streaking. I don't think there was a point using it up straight as it was just the second wash (a month later). During the wash...

    Newly obsessed detailer! Turned a my M3 new again (opti-coat and more)

    What is it with chemical guys and girls [emoji4] looks like real life pretty girls use them a lot too. 7cc of OC to do a sedan seems quite impressive considering so many applicators were tested. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hd Adapt?

    What's the work time like for HD adapt ? I have it and used it a couple of times with a GG6 DA and it seems to dry on me after the second section pass (after initial priming, 3-4 dots and 18x18 section, first couple of passes with downward pressure, BnS cutting pad). It doesn't dust in the...

    CarPro Ceriglass polish question.

    Based on a review I read, you don't have to let the ceriglass dry and have a water spray bottle at hand so it stays wet and begins to disappear. So possibly not fully breaking it down caused the removal to be very hard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Product Review: BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Spray Wax (updated formula)

    The beading seems to be at par with how reload/bsd bead and unlike the counterparts from other pbmg spray wax. Keep us posted how the looks have retained now that it's been 10 days and how the water behaviour stays with a couple of washes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Product Review: BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Spray Wax (updated formula)

    May be too early to ask, but I am sure it will overtake the self cleaning coating ability and water behavior.. Right ?

    Carpro Hydro 2 Lite!?

    What dilutions of hydro2 (concentrate) and Reload work for you for the QD use ? Edit: Never mind, you answered that already :) Another Question though would be, what was the cut off date for the 2015 version? I got mine from AG mid of December (date on the bottom is 3.12.14)

    gift certificate clarification

    Thanks Guys.. Its still confusing me though.. On the Checkout page, I see only one field where you can specify the DISCOUNT CODE as well as GIFT CERTIFICATE code.. So to avail both, would it not reset the DISCOUNT CODE ? (Unless it allows you to enter both one by one without clearing any)...

    gift certificate clarification

    Thanks.. I just wanted to ensure it wouldn't stop me when I want to use this and my cart already has a discount coupon code (15-20% for that day applied). Did you redeem yours on a sale day?

    gift certificate clarification

    So, today AG has a 20% off on a $100 gift certificate. So I pay $80 and get $100. Can this $100 be redeemed on another AG sale day (the 15-20% AG does and save more like 35-40%) ?

    Griot's Garage NEW BOSS Paint Polishing System

    Changing the focus to pads: Could you do a comparitive analysis of the BOSS' new thin foam pads to the other offerings that Rupes/LC HD/Meguiars thin foam discs offer? Basically to get an idea of where the pad's cut/finish scale is at, incase people using Rupes want to use BOSS' pads... Would...

    *NEW* BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating!

    Hi Nick, Would you know if there are any plans for a maintainence product for the crystal coat (that matches the cquartz ingredients and helps in strengthening the coat rather than an additional layer of something else altering the looks and water behavior/self cleaning ability). Some like what...

    Product Review: BlackFire Crystal Coat Paint Coating

    Mike, I think there may have been lesser smearing if the towel used would've been a more shorter nap (e.g. Gyeon baldwipe, or a Carpro large suede, MicrofiberMadness yellow fellow etc).. I haven't tried these but they are typically in use by some of the coating reviews I've seen and are designed...
