I noticed the CG soaps separate quickly but the Meg's Hyper Wash seems fine.

Best sealant IMHO: Finish Kare FK1000P Pro's: Looks great (wet and glossy, with great flake pop) Lasts like a coating (not quite but if you seal yearly it should be fine) Beads and sheets very well Self-cleaning (wind/rain will move contaminates easily) Con's: It's a hard product Don't over...

I like Meg's Hyper Wash (not over the counter) or Mothers Gold Car Shampoo (available over the counter) Don't use an APC or Simple Green on the paint.

It's not looking very good right now. Went drifting at the local race track and hit a snowbank (luckily this is my secondary bumper cover). It was -41f the day I went drifting so the snow quickly turned to ICE when drifting... Conditions changed from lap to lap...

Well I'd need a microscope to analyze what's actually sticking to the coating and preventing the beading, but I'll go out on a limb and assume it's a mixture of tree sap, oil, grease, and tar resting on top of the coating. As a test I could compound and polish half the hood just to show the...

No hurt feelings. In fact, I thought the same thing at first, and I believe in one of my posts I wanted to apply a second layer of the coating to be sure but after doing an CarPro Eraser wipe down the beading came back perfectly (IMHO). It's not the rocks, sand, or salt that mess with the...

My hood still beads perfectly when it's clean but not when dirty. The pictures in post 10 were all taken without washing the hood, so the sap from the tree above and whatever else was preventing the water from beading well. I still haven't applied any other LSP's to the hood and have only washed...

Make makes you say this? It's still going strong...

No, I used CarPro Denim & Velvet Pads + M101 and about 80 hours of spare time. Not the fastest way but safe enough. If I had to do it again I would wet sand.

Thanks for the complement Klasse Act. I also really enjoy your posts. About the blue car... I was just admiring the reflection of the blue car off my hood. Unfortunately, it didnt come out so well in the photo because I was using a cell phone to take the picture, but at the time, I figured I'd...

I'm not sure how long the Uber coating will last, but its still going very strong. Typically I do a full polish twice a year because it's a daily driver and things tend to happen (people leaning on the car, kids hit it with their outdoor toys, etc). From what I've read the polishes should be...

Below you’ll find two videos, one was taken while rinsing the dirt off the panel and another video was taken to demonstrate the current state of beading and sheeting on the clean panel using the “mist” setting. Hood - WG Uber Coating (1 of 2) - YouTube Hood - WG Uber Coating (2 of 2) - YouTube

UPDATE Hood – 1 layer of WG Uber applied 2.5 months ago One week after last wash: Two weeks after last wash: After a nice long 2 bucket wash the panel was looking flawless. I didn’t notice any marring or scratches on the panel from my wash processes to remove the winter grime...

Congrats and great color too! Love my Mopar...

I watched this heavy documentary called "Cartel Land" about the Mexican Cartel problems that takes place not far from where I grew up in Tubac, AZ. It’s incredible how much things have changed for the worse in that area (I had no idea). Check it out on Netflix the production is very well done...

You should always have a LSP protecting the paint IMHO. If you don't have anything else protecting the paint I'd use the spray wax but if you do already have a LSP protecting then it's kind of overkill. My rule of thumb is "don't touch the paint", so I don't care so much how the paint feels as...

I found a few hundred dollars in loose change once. It was in my old 1990 Bonneville SSE under the back seat. I took it apart before scrapping it and happy I did. Learned and earned a lot. Canada has $1 & $2 coins that's how you get to $100's in change...

Mix Car Shampoo with water. I mix 1-3 OZ depending on the soaps concentration.

I noticed this with the coating I tried. It wasn't as smooth as I had expected (figured it be smooth as clean glass).
