Penetrol, huh??? That's weird, but I just googled, "Penetrol Jeep Hardtop" and got a slew of results. More reading to do, I guess, but I'm still going with DLux first. E

Will do...I will start a thread as soon as I begin. Thanks all...Eric

Yup...tried to get a photo by drying a portion, but the rain just wouldn't cooperate. The last one is a good representation (although the others look quite nice, I must say). E

Mike... I'll try to get a picture after the rain stops here in the NE. I know what you mean about that "funky flat painted surface". The 92 Wrangler had that, and when it got scratched up, I couldn't find any paint that would cover up the white that showed up underneath (even a matte Testor's...

Yeah...better order another bottle! E

Hey all, Just got a new addition to the family, Jeep Wrangler 4-Door JL Willy's addition. Searched, and couldn't find any recommendations for coating the hard top (I owned a 92 wrangler, and boy do you have to keep up with all the plastic and the hard top, if you don't want to drive around in...

Well...I'm pretty sure polish does, since I just used a combo of orange pads with 3D One on my wife's Escape, and after finishing, I wipe it down with a prep solution (Mckee's N-914 mixed at 8:1), and there is absolutely no beading whatsoever. I also found another thread in one of the...

Thanks, Bob! E

Lol...I always post my name, but Paul probably does know a lot of folks "personally". Yes...it does hold sentimental value, and I guess I should be glad that nothing is taking it off, since I would want that behavior on my car. I'll bite the bullet; try to find new one via the web. Thanks...

Hi all, Trying to repurpose a blue glass bottle that held ceramic coating, and had dried on the surface of the bottle. Tried Mineral Spirits - Strike 1. Tried Acetone - Strike 2. Can you think of anything that would working cleaning this off, or should I just bite the bullet and find...

Just an FYI... I found the sweetspot for me to be 4 ounces of AW with 28 ounces of N914 at 128:1. Since I QD a lot (seem to have 15 minutes free every few days rather than 1 hour every week), it seems as if the mix of QD strength N914 and AW at 7:1 saves me some time. Thanks all. Eric

What about a mix of McKee's N-914 at a prep solution (I think 8:1)? Would that not work because some form of bonding has occurred?

Spock: "By the Book, Captain, we will remove the Klingon tire gel in 3 days...By the Book" Kirk: "Sulu, it's been 3 hours, let's go back and check if the tire gel is removed" Bones: "But you said it would take 3 days Jim!!!" Spock: "Doctor, I think you should familiarize yourself with the "by...

When that happens with me...I let the paint dry for a while until it is just dry enough (kind of tacky, but a pin won't go in too easily), and then swipe it with a real thin fabric (actually, I have been using these makeup cloth removers, but have used old cotton t-shirts) wrapped around a...

I know...tough separating the two. I have my wife's car coated, and use the straight N914 for QD purposes, without the AW, always feels grabby after (just like the coating after it cures), and the water beads are quite tight. Thanks all for the feedback...I will go with the two steps, rather...

On my daughter's white Tiguan, I use 3M Adhesive Remover for the tough ones. Eric

OK...Added the ratio 15:1 N914 at QD strength and AW. Don't have photos, but the gloss is comparable, in my amaterish eyes. However, one note...the surface using this formula is nowhere near as "slick" as the usual method (N914 QD and then staright AW). I would take that to mean (perhaps), not...

crap

But honey...I'm just polishing the sink

Couldn't resist...I have two more days before I "detail" the kitchen: Eric
