    Wish I'd taken a pic of the Vette I saw today

    I like the look of them (except the first gen), I've driven a couple but something didn't feel *right* for some reason. Nothing wrong with either car, just didn't feel comfortable. I think Carmax may have parked it where it was for some kind of comparison. There were 5 or 6 in a row that looked...

    Stainless steel polish

    You might have some luck with Autosol, Only place I know that sells it in the US is Eastwoods. It's like Simichrome, but a bit more abrasive. Generations of UK bikers swear by it. A tube will last you years.

    Wish I'd taken a pic of the Vette I saw today

    Wasn't so much about it being a Vette as much any vehicle managing to look like that in such a short time. I think you'd actually have to make an effort as opposed to just being careless. It's all good though, I'm only 61, got another 9 years before I qualify to own one (based on the average...

    Wish I'd taken a pic of the Vette I saw today

    Black, maybe 2-3 years old. Parked at the local Carmax (Palmdale Ca). There wasn't a square inch on the entire car that didn't look like it had been buffed with a pan scourer. The windshield was so dirty on the inside that I looked through a side window to see if they had been a fire. ... & it...

    Review: 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating

    When did BMW start selling cars without orange peel in the finish?

    Review: 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating

    Topped it with the Megs HCW today, very slick again... but now I have no idea what the 303 Graphene stuff is doing.. if anything? Can't see any reason to use the rest of it.

    Review: 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating

    I'm definitely weird. It's one of my most redeeming qualities. Here's where I'm confused now: This 303 is supposed to be the dogs danglies when it comes to keeping a vehicle clean.. but they say it can be topped by other products... which would surely be less effective at keeping it clean.. but...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Noticed a very small (maybe 3x12mm) dull spot on the ZRX gastank. But seeing as you have to basically be on your knees looking up at it I think I can live with it for now, specially as I just graphened* it twice. It's on the white stripe which is actually vinyl, not paint, but it does have CC...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Threw a second coat of 303 Graphene on the Kaw 1100. First was yesterday. Mentioned it in another thread, but the paint felt *thicker* after the first coat.. & I know that's not possible, but I can't think of another way to describe it. Some people have said it's not as slick as other finishes...

    Review: 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating

    Update: Do NOT use this stuff on bathroom mirrors... (or glass shower doors I guess) I thought it might help prevent condensation...That's not what happened. Luckily I didn't put it on the entire mirror. :laughing: :laughing:

    Review: 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating

    It's been maybe 10 hours & this stuff has set up just about perfectly. Definitely slick now. I guess it just needs to bake in the Mojave Desert heat for a while :) And this is probably gonna sound weird.. but the paint *feels* a lot thicker than it did. & yeah, I know that's not possible...

    Review: 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating

    Not due to drag the ZRX out until Sunday when I have a date with a chocolate muffin at the RockStore. I think I'm gonna add a second coat of the 303 tomorrow & then hit it with the hybrid ceramic stuff on Saturday. Used the 303 on part of the bathroom mirror just to see what it does about the...

    Review: 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating

    Good grief, my garage smells like an oil refinery. On the subject of *slickness*... does this stuff get slicker after a day or so?.. or (given that I live in the Mojave Desert) even a few hours? Bike was slicker than snot before as it had Megs hybrid ceramic wax on it.. & as this 303 can be...

    Neighbor has a carpet cleaning company, anyone know if it’s safe for him to use his equipment in my car?

    The guy that showed up to clean some carpets here had a gas powered extractor that would fill a minivan & sounded like a Detroit 8V92. It probably cleaned the slab under the house too.

    Progress on the SB Honda

    Gave it some more #7 this morning & then it got hot. Mixed results. The crazing on the fender/hood pretty much disappeared where I made some effort. The roof looks like a patchwork quilt & there are still parts that haven't been touched. Some of the patches came out well, others not so much...

    Progress on the SB Honda

    Got ambitious & did a few more spots/areas about 90 minutes ago after the car was in the shade & had cooled down. Just went back out there to give it rub to remove it. Can't report of progress as it's actually dark, will have a look in the morning... however I could see clear delineation between...

    Review: 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating

    Ordered some from Amazon, none of the local stores seem to carry it. Went to Wally World, O'Reilly's & AutoZone. It will be here Monday. It's going on the Kaw 1100... & maybe the Camaro, doubt I will use it on the SB Honda.

    Progress on the SB Honda

    Was just reading Mikes posts about the Meg's #7. I found some in the garage yesterday that must be more than 12 years old. Gave it a shake, still liquid. Sounded like there may be a *lump* in there though. Shook it some more. Grabbed a plastic straw, removed cap & gave it a poke. No lump, gave...
