    WHEELS -- OPTI-SEAL on top of 3 coats of Poorboy's Wheel Sealant...

    Zilla, you got it. My point EXACTLY. That's why Mike P says, "Find a product you like and use it often." I'd modify that to: "Find a product that works the way you like and use it often." 'Course, that's what Mike meant anyway. :dblthumb2:

    WHEELS -- OPTI-SEAL on top of 3 coats of Poorboy's Wheel Sealant...

    Seems you missed my point. Not the end of the rainbow. Maybe the end of your rainbow. Tried DG, I like DP just as much. Not much diff, IMO. Glad you like it, though.

    Car Soap, I'm running out, but can't decide

    The fact that they like it. I like Starbucks Regular Coffee Frappacino over the Mocha or Vanilla. What makes the coffee the best? That I like it better. I've tried several different car washes, and you know what? They all work about the same; except for the No Rinse, which are a different...

    Porter Cable Packages

    As several have pointed out, the 6.5" pads will work just fine but it's easier with the 5.5.

    WHEELS -- OPTI-SEAL on top of 3 coats of Poorboy's Wheel Sealant...

    Excuse me, but you haven't even tried it yet. You're ready to switch just because someone else said it didn't last for them. OK, maybe it didn't. But, you don't know how that person applied the sealant and how well they cleaned the wheel before they applied. And, have you considered the...

    Polishing stainless

    Let us know what it is, 'cause that's pretty impressive for what I'm guessing is just a paste polish.

    Polishing stainless

    Not bad, Mike. If you wanna get those scratches out, start with around 200 grit wetsand, then buff with black emory compund and then fine green chromium compound. You'll create a mirror. 'Course you'll have to coat it with a hard wheel clear or first drive down the road it'll be all nicked...

    Polishing stainless

    What are you trying to polish? If it's satin finish exhaust tips, then a brillo pad or #0000 steel wool and some APC will do just fine. Follow up with any good commercial metal polish. I like Simichrome, UC Metal Glo or Pikal. I used all of these in industry. Pikal is tougher to find, but...

    WHEELS -- OPTI-SEAL on top of 3 coats of Poorboy's Wheel Sealant...

    Unless the PB sealant simply is not working, why do you want to switch? Maybe there are better sealants out there, and maybe not. Everything you read is really just someone's opinion, not independently tested fact. Right now I'm using DP Wheel Sealant that I got BOGO. Yeah, I could switch to...

    Car Soap, I'm running out, but can't decide

    If the car's not filthy I like the No Rinse washes - very quick and leaves a nice QD-type shine. You can also dilute them to clay lube or QD. If the car's really dirty, then Meg's Gold Class. It's cheap and it's good. My neighbor got some no-name from Wally World. It was pretty good too...

    WG twins VS M105/M205

    I'm well know on the forum as a Wolfgang Twins fan. They're super easy to use and give great results. From your pics, they should be more than able to handle the defects. Having said that, I will be trying the Power Finish/Super Finish (203 and 106) combo recommended by Bobby and Mark. If...

    collinite 845 ?

    I confess, it was me. The only prob is I now have 2 million ounces of 845 sitting around in buckets. Could everyone please send me your empty 845 bottles? :rolleyes:

    first paint correction

    The products and processes I use depend on how the car is cared for. If your girlfriend doesn't have a garage and generally doesn't take much care of her car, then I'd go with the Meguir's Microfiber System, swapping Meg's M205 Ultra Finishing Polish or Ultimate Polish for the finishing wax...

    hairline scratches ...what to product and pad??

    As Mike pointed out, your G110 is an earlier, less powerful DA; unless it's a recently purchased V2 (version 2). If it is the earlier version, you will have to be more patient in your polishing and only do small areas at a time - maybe a square foot to 2 sq. ft. Make sure you have the proper...

    Buyer Beware: Xenonmods.com

    And this is an excellent example of why you shouldn't use PayPal. PP doesn't give a crap once they get their cut. So, if you're gonna use PP, be smart - use a credit card with PP. That way if the product isn't delivered you can simply dispute the charge with your CC company. I used PP until...

    Ammonia to clean pads

    If you're getting them clean with APC, why would you want to use ammonia? It's pretty harsh stuff. I realize it'd be a little cheaper, but somethimes a few pennies just ain't worth it.

    What would you do if your dealer severely marred your paint?

    Sorry to hear this happened. Happened to my wife's Lexus, too. And I had told them when we made the appt. not to touch it. I spoke with both the Gen Mgr and Service Mgr expressing how unhappy I was. They apologized and I left it at that. Best thing you can do is put a sign in your car next...
