If you really want long lasting protection for a work truck or daily driver, go over your car twice with KAIO, top with one coat of KSG, then top with a coat of Collinite 476.

Yea it does help keeping your hoses or power cords from getting hung up on your tire, especially if you keep the hoses and cords on the ground when you pull it around whatever lumber, brick, etc you use to get your tires off the ground.

In a post from a while back, Mike Phillips said something to the effect of, find a product you like and use it often. By doing that, at least IMO, you learn more about the product and what it takes to use it properly. It seems that every year a company puts out the newest, latest, easiest to...

On the none painted surfaces, try pressure washing them, at home or if you don't have one, take it to a coin op car wash. On the painted surfaces soak a sponge or large towel with White Vinegar and hold it in place, The acid in the vinegar will counter act the alkaline in the concrete. The...

I've also learned and nearly perfected the multiple day detail process. But then I only keep up our personal vehicles and don't do it for a living.

To clarify, the Paint Thinner I have around now is from ACE and is 100% mineral spirits. I use my DA for everything now except for Souveran when I use it. For me the reasons are the speed, the ability to get better coverage, and the fact that it is easier on my 56 y/o shoulders that I have had...

To date, I've not noticed any premature failure of the pads or other cleaning or dressing supplies using it. I've even used paint thinner to clean some of my old MF's that I use under the hood or on other nasty areas. You do need to make sure and wash the cleaner out well and the best way I've...

I'm sure many people will not agree with me and think there are better ways, but I use Paint Thinner on pads, especially those I used to apply Collinite Paste waxes. I put the thinner in a small bucket, let the pads soak for a while, wring as much of it out as I can then wash them with soap and...

Quick Detailer. Well, yes and no, The experts may want to chime in, but every company has there on formula for there products and even if carnuba is the primary ingredient the additives may be different enough to cause an interaction. That is why some waxes are really hard like Collinte 476...

I've been using KAIO and KSG topped with either Collinite 915 or 1Z Glanz Wax on my wife's Silver Metallic Cadillac and to my eye they both look great on the silver.

I may be wrong since I've settled on products that I have learned to use well and stick with, but you may be mixing too many waxes on top of one another that is causing the wax under your top coat to haze from interaction with the new one. You may find that using a GD in place of a new coat of...

Welcome from Siler City, NC.

Yes, you definitely need to let the KSG cure for about a day, or at least overnight between coats, and I usually let it cure for a full day before topping with a wax. I have been using KAIO, and 2XKSG for many years topped with either the 915 or 476. This combo will last from about October to...

Purple Haze would be great to try.

To make KSG extremely easy, do what I have been doing for over 10 years. Mix 3 parts KSG with one part of Sonus Acrylic Spritz QD in a small bottle or sprayer. Make sure you shake shake shake and shake some more each of them, then shake well again after mixing. I usually mix 1/2 oz of the QD...

1970 Chevelle SS 396, bright red with black buckets, Hurst 4 speed babied and tuned, til i rolled it through a cornfield and totaled it

Um, lets see how this works out. Flatstoppers for $260.00. Scraps of lumber from leftover home projects for nothing, or even a new 8' 2X6 from your local home center for about $5.00 or $6.00. A savings of over $250 sure would buy a lot of detailing supplies. So when your other half...

If you really want protection that will last all winter use the Klasse Twins topped with Collinite Super Double Coat 476. I know some people say that KSG is difficult, but if you use a PC with a red pad and, work it in on say half a hood or one side panel til almost dry then it will wipe off...

I either center the board or put it towards the inside so a little of the outer tread edge is actually hanging over the edge of the board. By the way, I've use 1X4's, 2X4's, or whatever scraps of lumber I have around. You only need to get the tires off the ground and inch or so to get around...
