Fantastic as always. How many hours on this one, and what product was used on the tonneau?

Any of the already mentioned coatings will be fine. McKees 37 or Pinnacle Black Label Glass Coating are similar products that fit your criteria. I have been using PBL for several years and am very happy with it. No streaking, one bottle will last for many applications. Durability can be up to...

My personal experience is that a glass coating can last upwards of 2 years on side windows, especially on a garaged vehicle. My wife’s suv is garage kept and also parked in a parking garage during the day. She drives approx 14000 miles per year with a majority of highway miles. Her side...

Had the same circumstances this morning. We had rain yesterday which turned to big wet flakes of snow, then the temperature dropped below freezing last night. I have the windshield and all windows on my Ram treated with Pinnacle glass coating. Wiped off the icy snow from the windows with my...

I had an obs 97 F350 with a similar issue. Smelled it intermittently for a couple of years, especially in hot weather. Turned out the mice had made a nest down in a passageway under the metal cowl piece between the windshield and hood (basically under the a pillars at the firewall) and I...

Looks great. I disagree with your opinion on silver however. I don’t care if my paint has defects if they are that difficult to see. My previous car was silver and I am wanting to go that route again. Yes it is harder to apply coatings and such, but a great color for a daily driver that I...

IIRC Blackfire was supposed to bring out a replacement for it. I really like using it for a one step engine/bay clean and protect. I have used Megs 40 in the past on interior but not exterior or engine. 40 is a nice product but leaves a strong scent inside a vehicle. I may have to try it on...

It is indeed Valeo and I have edited my original post.

Bringing back this thread to update my experience with Valeo Ultimate wiper blades which are on my better half’s Ford Edge. The vehicle is a garage stored daily driver and driven 12000-15000 miles per year. I have kept the windshield treated with PBL Glass Coating for the duration of the wipers...

Thanks Mike. The product page has been updated with that info. The first 500 pre-orders for either polisher are also going to receive a 2.5 amp battery with their order. Nice bonus for those ready to take the plunge.

Available to preorder now. Release date April or later.

Mike, Now that the cordless polishers are available for preorder, can you verify that each will be shipped with 2 batteries? The product page does not include that information.

Looks as though the cordless XFE15 150 ($549.99) and PE-150 ($579.99) can be preordered now with expected arrival date of April. Neither product page lists how many batteries will be included with the polisher, only that each comes with a 5 amp battery and a 2.5 amp battery is available for...

Personally I would wash, clay and wax. The car will look better and be easier to maintain for the rest of the winter. Should be less work to clay again in spring before polishing it also.

Agree 100 percent.

Man Mike, another incredibly thorough review. I learn something (more like several things) from each one of your reviews/how-to's, even when it is related to something I have already done like applying a coating. Once again...

Nice job overall. I had to turn the audio off after 30 seconds because of that repetitive beat. Also, the wheel/tire/wheel well part could have been sped up more. It was thorough but took 2 1/2 minutes of the video just for that. After so much focus on the wheel the actual body wash felt rushed...

On Black Friday I got a great deal on the 2" conversion kit through AG for $22.46. Here's the catch - I did not own the GG3 at that time. I had borrowed one from a friend before, tried it, and thought it was okay. Definitely could use more power, worked pretty good with a thinner microfiber...

I respectfully disagree. I have used 845 on my own vehicles after polishing and not performing any kind of IPA/similar wipe down, and have not experienced decreased durability. IIRC even Mike Phillips has jokingly stated that he has never walked into a garage to find that a coat of freshly...

Merry Christmas Mike, Autogeek staff, and fellow Autogeeks.
