AutoGeek card revoked!!! :) jk....I might have to start trying some of the Ultima stuff, particularly the trim coatings.

Whoops!! I thought we were talking ReLoad (because Autopia Car Care DID have 50 mL samples of ReLoad spray)

I noticed it on the site last night, 9.99 Sure beats 79.99 :) I might order up a sample...I gotta figure 50 ml is plenty for at least one car (Im hoping to put it over OptiCoat whenever Im able to apply the Opti)

Did you mean $7.99?

Exactly what I thought, but really have no idea what happened. I washed the car with a strong mix of chem guys citrus to help remove any extra stuff before polishing. P1 should have nothing in it, yet the Megs D300 acted exactly the same on the wifes car.....it looked like hologramming but was...

Yeah, I didnt mind this too much. When I had it show up on my G, I was using Gtechniq P1 and for the life of me I could not get the stuff off. IPA didnt touch it. I ended up bring the car to a pro detailer and he said the same thing....it was loads of oils from something, and it took a couple...

I think the only check anyone should be writing on my car is for payment if they happen to ding/dent/scratch it :) My story: my new G37 that I take uber precautions with. Park only in certain spots (at the end of a row to minimize the amount of people that can park next to me), etc. Going...

I did notice that as well. When I took a look at the car in the sun it almost looked like hologramming. Im sure some of it could be actual haze (and some of it is probably still there, I was in a hurry so had to put a coat of some LSP on it), but I also noticed that a lot of it smeared if I...

I had this same question and thank you for answering direct from the source. I skipped the D301 just in case...luckily I was able to go from D300 right to LSP because it seemed to finish down pretty well on my wifes 03 Acura. Next project will be my fair-condition truck, Ill probably try Megs...

If the car has orange peel: 1. Does the Opticoat end up thinner in some areas and thicker in others? (i.e. peaks and valleys) 2. Does Opticoat offset the orange peelish look a little, by sort of filling in those peaks and valleys I guess they are more theoretical questions than anything...

I can tell you definitely not. Both NAPA stores local to me have never even heard of it. I can find the products on NAPAs website but it just says "call for availability" next to them, and the stores say theyve never carried anything Duragloss. I think they can order it, but at that point I...

I think the windshield glass question was asked....while it will work I think it was frowned upon because of the possibility of glare if the coating wasnt applied evenly. I know I wouldnt want to risk that on my windshield (glare from the sun is bad enough, dont want it made even worse).

I was the person referring to scary soft paint, and I have to agree I might be overthinking the whole thing. I have a strong feeling that this is one of those things you have to try before you automatically assume its some complicated forever permanent process. I bet once I try to apply to a...

Do you have any suggestions for a touchless (or at least as close as one can get) way of washing before OptiCoating? Reason I ask is that I worry about introducing marring after Ive perfected the car. As Ive said in a whole slew of other threads (not trying to beat a dead horse though), my...

I think what everyone is trying to say is that this product may end up having a more "squeaky clean" type feeling to it, vs a silky smooth slippery feel like you would get with a pure wax and/or some sealants. Interesting thing is that it seems to act as good if not better than a silky smooth...

I agree with you here. I have uber soft paint and was worried an IPA wipe down would mar the car simply because it might not provide enough lubrication between the towel and the paint. Taking one of my wheels as a test, I had better luck using Zep citrus diluted 4:1 (water:zep) and letting it...

The blue spot on the wheel is lined up with the red spot on the tire. I figured the spot on the tire is either heavy or light, and the spot on the wheel is the opposite so they balance each other out. The factory (or my dealer, when they rebalanced the tires/wheels) used a blue dot of paint on...

Thanks for the suggestions. I picked up some Zep Citrus just to have it (I can use it for everything, just liek the SuperClean) Im going to use the product to degrease my wheels before putting on C5 Wheel Armor. Ive confirmed my wheels are painted and not polished.....still OK to have at them...

Any suggestions for an over the counter degreaser that can be diluted and be safe for paint and/or wheels? I wanted to apply C5 wheel armor to my wheels but realized I dont have a degreaser (aside from Castrol SuperClean but that stuff is seemingly pretty scary) I have access to most standard...
