    What to put on - Silver Shiny Plastic Grill that looks like Chrome

    If I could go back in time I'd have the grill on my Ford Edge wrapped with that clear bra stuff. I swear you can chip that chrome coated plastic by just looking at it!!!

    Plastic Trim... I need help

    I'm still blown away by Turtle Wax Trim Coat. Did my 2011 Edge over a year ago with two coats and it still looks amazing!!! My Edge sits outside 24/7 in Michigan. I thought the Tire Coat was good but the Trim Coat is simply amazing.

    Longest lasting Synthetic Paint Sealant for Daily Driver? (poll)

    I've used both and agree 100%. The 111 is also way easier to apply compared to 105. When it comes to nasty winter durability, Z-2 is still the longest lasting sealant I've used but I'm sticking with the 111/601 combo for now.

    Undercoating a summer only car

    I don't see a problem doing it unless it's a classic or soon to be classic vehicle. Rustproofing doesn't really show but undercoating can look horrible if not done properly. Even the undercarriage and suspension parts of a summer Queen can start to rust eventually.

    Zaino Z-2

    I would agree that Z-2 is still one of the best sealants out there especially when it comes to durability and ease of application. I switched to Duragloss 601/111 about 2 years ago and it goes on like butter which is identical to Z-2. Great products for hand application. The 601/111 combo is...

    Coated my tires today and WOW,

    No pics but the only thing I did was repair a few spots that I curbed over the last 8 months. Just gave it it's second winter washing last week and the tires looked great but, of course, not as glossy. I'm more impressed with the trim coat cuz my trim was really starting to show it's age...

    Coated my tires today and WOW,

    Pretty amazing how this tire coating lasts through the winter and it's even more amazing how the trim coating is holding up. About 8 months on the trim coat and it still looks incredible!!!!!! This is on a 2011 Edge that sits outside 24/7 in Michigan. Just ended up ordering another Tire Coat...

    Winter's a coming.

    I like 3m rustproofing spray for body panels and a thin coat of undercoating for the undercarriage. It's a good idea to touch-up the undercoating every fall.

    Simple Duragloss question

    I tried replacing Zaino Z2 with 105 and was very disappointed with ease of application and durability. I then picked up a bottle of 111 and now understand the Zaino/Duragloss rumor. I still think the Z wins in the durability department but I think I'm gonna hang with the 111 for the...

    Does Meguiars make any bad products?

    I didn't like their interior detailer spray. Just seemed like it didn't do much and was really watery so I've been sticking with 303.

    Product Recommendations: What Should I Put On My Car?

    I prefer the 111/601 combo for ease of application and the 111 seems to be a little more durable then 105 for me. 111 does look fantastic on dark colors.

    What is your current Tire Coating

    I'm still pretty amazed at the longevity I'm getting from the TW coating. Tires still looked good after 5 months on my DD but I wiped another two coats on to get me through the winter.

    Coated my tires today and WOW,

    Well, my initial 3 coats of TW still looks pretty good after 5 months but I just added two more during my winter prep today. Gonna be interesting to see how it holds up to a winter in a wicked salt-belt. I should add that the TW trim coat is also holding up extremely well after 5 months.

    Tiny dents from acorns? Help!

    Yup, find a paintless ding repair guy and have your insurance cover it. Most insurance companies love when you use PDR and will usually wave any deductible. That vehicle must have super thin metal or those are monster acorns.:)

    Anyone here do Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) or take stab at doing it?

    I take my vehicles to a dent guy that's been doing it for around 30 years. It's pretty cool watching him work. He tapes a mirror to the body and uses an assortment of old trunk rods. Of course his knees, hands and back are about shot after so many years of doing this.

    Coated my tires today and WOW,

    Thanks, but alcohol didn't work. I think this stuff is impervious to any known chemical!!!!:) I ended up wiping it down with the alcohol and applying a few more coats of trim coat.

    Coated my tires today and WOW,

    Black plastic lower trim with the exhaust tip cutouts on my 11 Ford Edge. Turned out really streaky and a lot of the coating is coming off. Funny cuz, after 2 months, the trim coating still looks fantastic on the rest of the trim.

    Coated my tires today and WOW,

    Is there any way to remove the Trim Coat product? For some reason it did not stick well to my rear lower valance and it looks horrible. Maybe I didn't get it clean enough before application.

    Non regretful detailing product purchase

    Good black plastic restorer?

    I agree, the Turtle Wax coating is pretty amazing from what I've experienced so far. I'm going on 1 1/2 months and about 5 car washes and it still looks fantastic. It made the faded trim on my 2011 Ford Edge look factory new!!!! Kind of a shame that both the trim and tire coating aren't being...
