Well...I guess my philosophy is that the duster is lifting the dust/road grime/contaminants off the surface and now I'm wiping on a contaminant free surface, thus further reducing the likelihood of inducing something that wasn't previously there.

Hypothetical...If you just happen to be in the mood to add another layer of your current LSP (or even a different one you want to try for that matter) a month or so down the road, is this a good, or the right product to use to prep the surface for that extra layer? What does it do to any...

Iron deposits don't have to be fallout either. I experience it (and fairly bad case of it too) on my truck in the winter. Took me a long time and many conversations to finally figure out what it was, but in the winter, the road salt/spray they put down was reacting with brake dust from my...

I've had great luck with a California Duster over the years. Some streaking when brand new, but once dirty it works great. Has never induced scratches or swirls, etc. But...I have found it to be color/paint dependent. On my white truck, zero issues. On my Magnetic (metallic grey) Focus and...

"Big Blue"

It's so gratifying it almost makes me want it to rain on my clean car...almost ;)

Didn't know where else to post this one since it's not really a question. whenever it rains and I'm at work or something with the car or truck just sitting in the parking lot, I always go to leave for the day and my vehicles will still be covered in beading water while every other car in the...

You guys use this? I've always been paranoid (maybe that's a bit extreme, but couldn't think of a better word) about having my surface completely clean and ready for lsp, and I'm hesitant Andrea split on doing an ipa wipe down. Seems like a good route to go if it's not snake oil. Suspicions...

I'm hoping it's just. Matter of training the tires and wearing down the surface. But if memory serves, my last set of michelins never did get perfect. I have a brand new set of Pirelli's that coated and finished perfect straight out of the gate.

So I've been using hyper dressing forever at this point and love the way it finishes out. However, I have my second set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's, and for both sets of these tires, they just don't like the D170. It looks all blotchy like it doesn't adhere or stay on evenly in spotty areas...

It was painted two days ago...I'll play it safe and wait.

Had to get a spoiler repainted to fix a small little accident! Ooops. Anyways...it's a 2016 and the Ford dealer body shop did the repair and repaint. It actually turned out very well. I was at first scared that the repair would be slicker than the rest of the car, but they actually did an...

Guess I'll stick with what works then...205 on a white or black pad. Most likely a black pad if all I'm doing is cleaning up for a LSP. Maybe follow this with a 10% IPA wipe down...yea/no?

So when you guys get the itch to try a new product, but your surface is already perfect and covered with your favorite LSP, what do you use to clean or strip it down, with no paint correction needed, to play with the new LSP? If it matters, want to try out Wolfgang Fuzion.

In an effort to just try something, I think I'm gonna go this route. I had asked in the Pinnacle section between this vs the "surface coating", which would be better or offer more of a sheen, but no response. Also, since I have a layer of carnuba on my wheels at the moment, I know that's...

PBL Surface vs Wheel Coating? So I got a new set of wheels. Niche Targa in the anthracite color. They are much more satin finish than I had hoped for, but still very happy with them. I also want to try a coating on them as I know carnuba is just going to attract the brake/road dust, so...

I guess that would be an additional question to my original...is one going to add more of that sheen than another?

I would have thought matte finish wheels would be easier to keep clean?!?! I've seen/detailed gloss wheels and they show dust and brake dust like nobody's business.

So I have never expanded out and tried any coatings before. I've read a little bit, but thought I'd just start anew and ask... Got some new Niche wheels for the car. They are the grey/anthracite color. I'm super happy with them, but they are a tad bit more "satin" finish than I expected. I...

So I have noticed that water and leather cleaner do not 'bead' as much as I expected. Water seems to soak in a bit and the seat/leather does retain that damp look once wiped dry until the moisture evaporates. I've had seats where you just wipe it off and it's dry, but these didn't. Interesting.
