    BMW NA Manufacturing in Greer SC

    That is a nice factory filled with happy people. They said the turn over rate is about 3% so you almost have to inherit a job. The tour guide mentioned they were non-union 3 times.

    Can a newbie realistically apply Opti-coat?

    I've done a truck and a small SUV so far. This makes me far from an expert in the field but I'm happy to share my experience with you. Firstly, I did a complete light polish to both vehicles. They were new but they did a have a few dealer installed swirls. Both are going to sit out (kids...

    Stubborn as 5 goats.

    Actually, it was the cinders stuck between the pads of his feet that caused the most damage. But then he pooped right there in the woods so I was able to confirm that happens...:xyxthumbs:

    Introducing myself...finally.

    How are you getting 10 full minutes out of full wash/detail of a black vehicle? Mine only lasts 6...

    Stubborn as 5 goats.

    In 1988 I had a bear walk up the cinder driveway of my parent's cabin and put his front feet on the trunk lid of my 190E (bad car). The goat story is better...Very nice work!

    Quick Opti-Coat Question

    I've done a truck and a small SUV since Christmas so I am far from an expert on the subject. I had a question between vehicles so I called Optimum Polymer Technologies and left a message. The next day, Dr. G himself called me back and answered my question. Two interesting factoids from the...

    Wolfgang Füzion Estate Wax Review

    Great review! I have found with both Souveran and Fuzion that you use so little, it's actually not as expensive as one would think. You just have to get over the initial sticker shock:dblthumb2: You will be able to tell the difference.

    Tentative LSP...

    +1 for Ultima Paint Gurad Plus. Easy, looks great, lasts as well as any WOWA. They'll notice.

    Oh no, a scratch!

    That does suck! There are some great threads on wet and damp sanding that may be just the trick for this type of scratch (one that catches the finger nail). The big worry is going thru the clear coat but, worse case scenario is you do and have to re-spray. IMHO, it would be worth a try since...

    Applying coatings on wheels

    That sir, is a great question! One that I didn't even consider before doing OC on 8 wheels in the last 2 weeks. I hope they do stick...

    Anyone ever seen this?

    Looks like an adheasion problem between color and clear to me. If the polish isn't doing anything, it's because there is nothing there to polish.

    What do you not like to do on a detail?

    I use Optimum No Rinse as a lubricant and start after the final rinse while the car is still wet. I just dry the panel after clay and the whole process doen't add more than 15 minutes. It works best when it's not 115 degrees outside:dblthumb2: I hate to dress tires...

    Ugh!!!

    I just assisted two of my kids in new car purchases (Honda CRV and Toyota Tacoma). After experiencing me during negotiations, both dealers agreed to let me do the "dealer prep" step. There was some sap on the roof of the CRV that I wanted to make sure didn't stain the paint. After the...

    Whats wrong with my UTTG?

    Mine looked like that when I got my first bottle. I emailed Nick and he sent another bottle. It looked the same so I just used it as it was. Absolutely no problem with either bottle, it just looked funny. I suspect Nick knew this before he sent the replacement but he just sent it so I...

    BMW hack job!

    Looks like she got the $19.95 VIP wash at the local scratch and slop, not a detail job. She should be thrilled with the work you did!
