    Anyone had this interior black trim problem?

    Yes, this must be it. I used an old but washed microfiber towel, and maybe had product on too thick (even though I sprayed it onto the towel, then wiped). Probably not photo degradation of plastic because this is a fairly new vehicle (2017 I think). But maybe sunlight could have caused it to...

    Anyone had this interior black trim problem?

    OPP. One of the best! Not blaming the product tho...I'm wondering...maybe I applied it too heavy and didnt even it out enough? The white haze was most noticed on the door trim right below the window.

    Anyone had this interior black trim problem?

    So I detailed an SUV today that has black plastic trim. I applied a highly recommended protectant with a microfiber cloth. Everything looked great right after application, but after it dried the black trim looked like it was cloudy and hazy. Wondering if anyone has had this problem? And I'm...

    Blackfire si02 spray after 2 months

    Would you happen to know how this sealant compares to Crystal Seal? Is it way better in terms of durability? And can you apply it to smooth trim and plastics like headlights/taillights?

    Cleaned up a 2017 Ford RAPTOR

    Awesome job. Truck looks great! I have a question...a buddy of mine wants me to do his Raptor for him...interior/exterior wash n wax. Going to apply Megs UFF for him. But what product do you recommend for all that hard black plastic exterior trim and air extractor on hood? I have crystal...

    Powerlock questions

    Hi all, I bought some Jescar Powerlock, and I'm sure it's going to be an amazing product from all the rave reviews on it. Question though...can you apply it to hard plastic trim surfaces, wheels, and headlights/taillights like you can Collinite 845? Or is it only for painted surfaces? And...

    Which glaze works as well as DWG?

    Thanks! This is great info. I was going to ask which pads I should use for application with my Flex.. :dblthumb2:

    Which glaze works as well as DWG?

    What I meant to say is that it seems to be more helpful for SS paint instead of the modern clearcoat system, according to some articles I've read. Sorry! I'm sure it has other uses, but just doesn't make a difference on my car's paint...

    Which glaze works as well as DWG?

    So I'm really intrigued by the Prima Amigo. Does it hide imperfections really well? That's what I'm looking for. I've used Megs #7 and I can't see a difference with it at all (probably because it's really for SS paints, not BC/CC systems). And the EZ creme glaze also interests me. Which one...

    Which glaze works as well as DWG?

    Hello all, Been a while since I've been around...and I just saw that DWG 2.0 is no longer available. Can someone recommend a glaze that works as well as DWG for a 2005 acura tl with dark grey paint? I have some paint issues that need to be covered up, since they cannot be corrected due to...

    Recommended metal polish for alloy wheels

    Great info here! Thanks guys! I do believe they are clear coated because I don't get any kind of black on my cloth after polishing. I guess to do the job right the clear would have to be stripped and then go from there. And unfortunately those pics are of the wheel after I have tried to...

    Recommended metal polish for alloy wheels

    I'm not an expert at identifying the composition of wheels (still learning!), but I'm pretty sure they are not chrome. I was looking at the Mothers line of polishes. Have you gotten good results with their all metal polish before? Not sure how to figure out if they are clear coated or not...

    Recommended metal polish for alloy wheels

    Hello everyone, I have some machined face wheels that have been damaged by what looks like a cleaner that was applied to the wheels when they were too hot, or left on too long or something like that...and now they look soo cloudy. I've tried to polish them with Megs 105, Megs 205 by hand, and...

    Still skeptical about Opti-coat...please help straighten me out!

    Thanks ZeroSP. Wow, that is proof that the coating is really working like it states that it would! I'm so glad you posted the pics and video. It just seemed too good to be true somehow, but your results don't lie! :xyxthumbs:

    Still skeptical about Opti-coat...please help straighten me out!

    I did not know about the 5 yr warranty on the pro...that helps to shed some light on the subject... I was asking this question just to really see, once and for all, if there really was just 1 coating that you could put on your car and never have to apply any other wax/sealant/coating again...
