I picked up a bottle this week. I am applying it to my daily driver sometime in the next couple of weeks. My plan was to clean it with my Blue Magic leather cleaner prior to the application. If I remember correctly, there was no film left behind from that but I will probably wipe it down with a...

Please enlighten me on the difference between shoe sole rubber and tire rubber, the fabric on a car seat versus the fabric inside a shoe, and the leather on a car seat vs the leather on a shoe. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I have...trying to invest in the right products that work hand in hand since a lot of the materials (rubber, etc) are the same. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Odd, I talked to a friend that I detail with sometimes about making soles "icy" again. He also drives a Subaru. Small world.

It's the 303 Fabric Guard that I use, not the protectant. My bad.

I completely forgot to mention that. Yeah, I have the VX5000 that is phenomenal for cleaning. Here is the one problem with it...when I use heavy steam to sanitize the insides of the shoes and they get damp due to it, they shrink REALLY bad when they full dry. They then end up being very stuff. I...

I own a part-time auto detailing business. Recently, I started a separate venture buying/selling/restoring/trading Air Jordan shoes. it worked out well, since I had 90% of the items I would need for the cleaning and restoration part of it. it got me thinking and wondering if I truly had the best...

Is anyone running a black friday special? I'm planning on running a gift certificate special and wanted to see what specials other may be running tomorrow. I was thinking of running buy one gift certificate get 50% off the next of equal or lesser value. Or maybe buy one get a free basic...

I wanted to bump this thread and see if anyone had any additional input on this issue. I am getting the car back for round two in about a week and wanted to see if I could fix it. From what I gather from everyone, drying with the heat gun possibly caused the flakes to settle/float and in turn...

I got the paint from O'Reilly Auto Parts. They mixed it there, on site and I got a pill bottle sized amount. Since they mixed it on their own, I figured they needed to mix clear with it and possibly forgot, leading to my problems. But, if there is clear in there, then I would end up in the same...

I don't think so. I have dried chips quite a few times. I usually stay about a foot away and I check the surface temp every 30 seconds or so. TU? It's gray. Meguiar's Unigrit. The only thing I would say there, is when the paint was dry (just before sanding) it was a near perfect match...

The paint matched near perfect after application. I dried it with a heat gun for 3-4 minutes and let it sit another 10 minutes with a fan on it. It was dried and not tacky when I started sanding and was a near perfect match. One I started sanding, it turned dark gray.

No, maybe even 3 stage. Toyota 4runner. The only ting I can think of is that they didn't mix clear in with the paint and when I wet sanded it just blended it all together into black. But I am baffled.

I am doing a chip repair today and for whatever reason the repaired spots are turning dark or black after wet sanding. What is going on here? I wet sanded the blobs with 2000, then 2500. I ended up with this.

I think I remember reading a post about this topic but after a search, I wasn't able to find it. Has anyone out there thought about or attempted to flip a car? I was thinking the other day that I see a lot of cars on used car lots going for around 2,500 to 6,000 that just look terrible. I feel...

Nice review and development response guys. I look forward t seeing how it fares in the long term. Plans for long term revisits?

Alright, that makes sense. I used M40 on the left part of the dash. When I don't use M40, my next go to is UP but I have used quite a few protectants so I had a decent number of products to compare against this one when rendering an opinion.

The swirls were decent enough that the AIO wouldn't have been abrasive enough to remove them. I basically used them AIO as an insurance policy. Either way, I would have been able to test it and would have still needed a final coat of sealant.

I wasn't sure on the etiquette of naming what I compared it to...
