evo, you seem to be, to put it mildly, well-versed in this topic. Do you work in the industry?

Labocosmetica Fiero is the other one besides Dr. Beasley's that doesn't require a wait time or a panel prep (well, I think Fiero requires 20 mins or a half hour, but they consider that basically no wait time if you start coating at the same place you started polishing). I don't think either of...

That's not correct, 35 of 50 states have primary enforcement (you can be stopped for) for seatbelt use, while 14 have secondary. Only 1 state does not have seat belt laws for adults; that state's motto is "live free or die". https://www.ghsa.org/state-laws-issues/seat-belt-use

Wow, knocked that right out! Looks great now.

Great reflection shot!

It's hard to argue against putting some sort of coating on; it can't hurt (presuming you do a good job applying), even if it may not help very much. I can say I put a layer of Opti-Lens on my new headlights, even though I have found it to be useless on headlights that I have sanded the coating...

Going to be a lot of work getting that marring out of those depressed sections--my fingers are hurting just thinking about it.

I'm just trying to understand where those brackets go, do they attach to some existing points on the vehicle, and then the covers attach to the brackets?

Maybe it's the aggregate market of the thousands and thousands of stores. Back when Mike Phillips worked at Meg's he would explain to us why certain products got discontinued and it was always that the sales numbers didn't justify continuing to make the product, and that's even before 3M bought...

I always say that I'm tempted to try the sanding method--there is a company here in the US that sells glass polishing supplies/equipment and they have a range of 3M PSA discs for glass, I think there are 5 or 6 grades, and more recently they came out with their own similar captive line. They...

Yikes, nothing like that on the paint, though?

Two things--I only looked at the Amarok one, I see there is mounting hardware--how do those attach? And it says "acrylic", are they not polycarbonate?

While I agree with what you guys are saying, I think it's more complicated than that...or more simple. In the same way that Meguiar's, who surely understands the 'Geek market, would pull good products off the market simply because they weren't making the numbers, I think TW discovered the...

Sounds like TW's dalliance with Prosumer products is over, they also discontinued 1 & Done compound.

Good grief, no wonder that stuff doesn't even last as long as the CC on the paint.

I know people hate when I do this (ask about something in the background), but what is that thing on your deck? At first glance it looked like a telescope, but it seems to be something else.

That thing looks fantastic Opie, is that metallic? I always wanted a car in that GM metallic black.

I would disagree with your timeline here, liquid waxes were well entrenched 20 years ago, and OCW was already on the market by then and pretty sure DG Aquawax was also. But I can't argue with the premise that liquid sealants/waxes are heading the way of pastes. I'm still surprised that the...

That can't be right that it's thinner than clearcoat--it seems much thicker.

That was so silly...I remember getting a little can of touchup for my 70's GM and it had 4 or 5 color names on it...one for each division.
