    Looking for the longest lasting Air Freshener

    I love the Japanese and korean air fresheners and they do seem to go away after a month but I would argue that you just got used to them. When my wife gets in the car she can smell them even when I think they are dead.

    Making the Metallic Flake Pop! - Popping versus Muting

    Just my experience but I did notice a muting effect from 845 on top of PB EX-P. It a was very subtle difference and I wouldn't have noticed it if I wasn't comparing two panels right next to each other.

    DA on a respray panel?

    I've never had the chance to work on a repainted panel but I thought you just had to do a seperate test spot on it and not assume that what works on the factory paint will work one this panel. If it was done by a reputable shop then I don't think the repaint would be single stage if the rest...

    Iron X with every detail or no??

    I love the stuff and wanted to use it all of the time but I find when I keep my cars well maintained it usually isn't needed (i.e. white car no purple streaks). so i save it for friends cars and maybe once a year on mine. you can always try it on a small spot you know needs t be clayed and see...

    New 5" Hybrid Pads on Flex 3401

    If it helps I used the 6.5 inch Hybrid pads with a GG ROP and got great results. I used the blue light cutting with griots AIO and the black with PO 85RD (different cars). I just do this as a hobby, so take my thoughts with a gain of salt, but I found the foam to be very easy to work with and...

    WRX or Mazdaspeed3

    +1 I love the Legacy GT and if the 5th Gen hadn't been so bulky/ugly I might have gone that route instead of WRX. The sad part is my 98 JDM Legacy GT had a better interior than my 05 Legacy did. The automatic climate control was leaps and bounds better than the one in my 2012 WRX even.

    Protection plan for new Scion FR-S

    Welcome, the BRX/FR-S is a nice looking ride I got to see several at a local Subaru event. The general perception or Subaru paint is that it is soft and thin. I'm sure if I glare at mine long enough it will mar or chip. So Opti coat or a clear bra would be a very good idea in my book. I...

    Survey: Leather Cleaner and Conditioner

    CG Leather Cleaner and Wolfgang conditioner. I love that wolfgang makes the leather feel great but doesn't have an overpowering fake leather scent

    Have I angered the detailing gods?

    I consider my Oakleys to be "eye pro". Therefore you have appeased the detailing gods and all is right with the world.

    WRX or Mazdaspeed3

    I love my WRX but i'll agree the interior is a bit weak, mainly in the center console area; I had some paint flake off the console and the arm rest within 2 years. Personally I like the look of the interior and I really don't mind that it is plastic I just wish they had done more to prevent...

    Automotive tape vs. Painters tape

    Agreed, I have also had good luck with Frog brand painters tape eventhough I bought it fo rthe container :) I also learned a valuable lesson, when in short supply don't use the old roll your buddy has in the garage (in AZ). The stuff went on fine but it took longer to remove from the trim than...

    subi paint

    What color is it? I thought I was doing a good job of washing it for a long time but since the white hides everything I was wrong. Under halogens I have a lot more swirls than I thought I had.

    Arizona sun 1, UTTG Solution Finish 0

    My buddy told me his trim is still looking good, hopefully he will send me some pics tomorrow. when we worked on the trim it was night time so the parts got to cure overnight, I'm not sure if that helped or not. I waited about 4 hours between using SF then applying UTTG.

    I wish my subie paint was that tough. If i look at it sideways it causes swirls. Sent via telepathy

    Arizona sun 1, UTTG Solution Finish 0

    Dave, I will have to take a look but a week or two ago i was in az and helped a friend with his F150. His truck is outside 24/7 and we hit all of his black platic trim with solution finish and uttg. Except for the truck bed top railing as nothing seemed to work on it. Ill let you know is the sun...

    Does your wife say this?

    Maybe not verbatim but yes...including a door cubby full of straw wrappers from buying iced coffee. but not only does she not harrass me over buying more chemicals than I will ever need but she has also changed some of her habbits. i.e. she stopped putting stuff on the paint when she opens the...

    Megs mf system question

    What size pad did you use? Also what did you run it on and what speed? Ive used them on both 5.5 and 3" with and without the megs backing plate with great success. I think the main risk in not using their plate for the 6 and 3" is heat/delamination. I ruined one pad by working it too long with...
