    Regreasing Original 7424, NOT XP

    I have both the 6 and 5 inch counterweights...once I flip it with to the 3 inch plate, I will try both, to see which one causes less vibration. I am flipping it for the exact reason mentioned...stalling on the curved panels, which didn't exist on my vehicles when I first bought it. Have...

    Long Term Ceramic Coating Storage?

    Interesting...I would tend to agree with that statement... @Guz - you've noticed no issues regarding the Pinnacle coating after prolonged storage?

    Long Term Ceramic Coating Storage?

    Has anyone been able to successfully stored an open bottle of ceramic coating over a year? Curious, as that will affect my next purchase choice of which one to get, or whether to just go back to a sealant (tried to store Mckee's 37 in fridge to reapply to a vehicle previously coated last year...

    (Door/Window/trunk/Sunroof) Rubber seals cleaner+protectant AIO-Meguiar's M5716SP?

    Sounds like this is the seal you are talking about: Roof & Components for 2006 Nissan Sentra | Nissan OEM Parts Now #11 in the photo? If so, it may be possible that due to hardening, it may not be possible to stop the leaking. Funny though...I would recommend changing them out, but the part...

    (Door/Window/trunk/Sunroof) Rubber seals cleaner+protectant AIO-Meguiar's M5716SP?

    Interesting...With the seals that I was experiencing issues with, just a quick wipe down with my usual APC, followed by 303 Protectant got rid of my freezing issue. This is in the Northeast...wondering where you are located. Doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong with your process of...

    (Door/Window/trunk/Sunroof) Rubber seals cleaner+protectant AIO-Meguiar's M5716SP?

    Good question on whether the folks here use the term seal and trim interchangeably, so I am subscribing to hear that answer. As far as what I have done is the "trim" I clean and treat twice yearly, first by using Mother's Heavy duty trim cleaner, and follow that up with Wolfgang Exterior Trim...

    Regreasing Original 7424, NOT XP

    Thanks for your reply...the gear mechanism is a separate piece, so it seems somewhat different than the XP teardown I saw; didn't have to remove the brushes, or the armature. Amazing, the armature and the brushes are still in great shape...this thing has got to be gong on for almost 20 years (I...

    Regreasing Original 7424, NOT XP

    Hey all, Anyone know how to do this? The original 7424, not the XP. I watched a video on youtube showing the breakdown and regreasing of the XP, and it is very similar. Seems as if the only difference are the way the brushes are in place (mine are around a plastic housing held in by a torx...

    Thinning a Ceramic Coating

    Makes sense, but I will say that the first panel I labored on is doing pretty good, albeit for just 2 weeks (my daughter's off to first year college, so have a lot of time to finish this job). Eric

    Thinning a Ceramic Coating

    Hey all... I had stored my bottle of Mckee's 37 V2 Ceramic coating after my cars were coated approximately 2 years ago (yes, it did it's job well) in a dark bottle in the fridge, since I had more than enough left over to handle more cars. I am working on recoating, and doing certain panels at...

    GG Paint Cleaning Clay - aggressiveness?

    All, I have been using nothing but this stuff when claying (not many choices back in the early 90's ). Have tried others, but nothing came close to this IMO. My only question is if any of you have used it, where, in your opinion, would it fall as far as grade is concerned? Fine, Medium...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    KEEP IT!!! PLEASE! If my dad gave me that vehicle (let alone ANY vehicle), I would be ecstatic. Funny thing...when raising my 2 kids, my wife had a 92 Wrangler, with the straight 6, 5 speed. Beast of an engine, indestructible (except for the fact that my wife didn't know, prior to marrying me...
