    Window Tint

    Def good opinions from everyone. Thank you! I do know I'm not going to do a ceramic, because of cost as well as the metallic properties. Suntek Carbon, while said to avoid here, seems to get favorable reviews along with the 3m color stable. With my looking today I'm now limiting to 2 shops just...

    Window Tint

    Hey guys. I'm thinking about getting my windows tinted on my car. This is the first car I haven't rushed to do it on, primarily because I'm not that "cool" anymore and don't necessarily need to hide anything. I'm now purpose driven! My car gets Africa hot sitting in the parking lot at work all...

    What product best impressed you that you decided to try just because recommended in this forum?

    I've gotta say that ONR absolutely amazed me, and after my first time with Fuzion this past weekend, I'll be a user for a long long time.

    Chemical guys products

    Do you all recommend any of their towels specifically for rinseless washing? I've called a couple times and I am 100% certain that their operators are just that, and know nothing about the products other than what the web page says. I had to explain to "Robert" what their Eco-wash is...

    new here in southern Indiana

    start searchin for rinseless and waterless washes and you'll find a ton of answers and methods. Start looking around your community for a shaded area in the morning too, that way you can wash out of the sun, and before the car has been baking in the sun all day. Look at permanent coatings too...

    To wipe or not to wipe

    M21 you can let dry. I do the entire car before I start the wipe off and it works very well for me. The pro in my local Mirror Glaze store told me to leave it on overnight, buff and second coat with a quicker removal in the morning for even better results. I haven't tried that though because I...

    Saturday morning shine time! Fuzion time!

    And here it is! My first time, and I can say this is incredibly easy to use with terrific results. I'm hoping these clouds clear sooner than later so I can see it in the sun! Durability will be the only question but since I sealed the car with M21, the beading won't be the tell-tale sign.

    Saturday morning shine time! Fuzion time!

    I've got my car all prepped and ready to go! What I need to know is if I let Fuzion dry to a haze before buffing or is it more of a wowo? I have the 3oz mini and this is my first go with it.... Thanks in advance!

    Nitrogen vs. air...

    As a 5 year manager of a tire store.... Nitrogen doesn't fluctuate or dissipate with the rising and lowering of temperatures the same way air will. The only time you may see any difference at all is in cold winter months when you may lose a couple pounds of air pressure a month. For the...

    MFtech really that good?

    If you buy the 200gsm towels you can get at sams and Costco, then yeah, but looking at 530 to 530 or 600 to 600 I am seeing a similar price across the board. I made an account, got tier two pricing. If I look a the Korean there, it's 13.95 for 3 isn't that relative to the gold Jr or supreme 530...

    MFtech really that good?

    I've seen a lot of posts about their towels and great prices lately, and maybe I'm missing something, but it looks like AG is right there with them. I would assume comparing weight for weight, not color for color that the Cobras are a bit better. Does anyone recommend one towel over the other in...

    Knowing What You Know Now...

    I see a lot of people mentioning MFTech in threads the past few weeks and I wonder if there's any towels in specific they can compare to AG brands? Is their yellow equivalent to the cobra? The weights look a lot different in most cases. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

    Anyone use Microfiber towels from Dollar General

    I think everybody will give a resounding "nope" for use on paint. You'll see from reading, that any budget towel (with the exception of the Sam's club that some guys absolutely love) will be reserved for wells, tires, engine bay and so on.... In those applications, heck yeah, knock yourself out...

    No Rinse Waterless Wash Advice

    I just started with the rinselss about a month ago, and I'll never abandon that process. A traditional wash may be necessary here and there but my washes will primarily be a panel at a time from here on out! I have used the Pinnacle waterless a couple times too and it does work well, but I...

    My Perfect Tire Cleaner

    I use d103 APC+ on tires wheels and wheel wells with great results. It took a few times before it got the tires as clean as I wanted and all the old product off, but now with the weekly maintenance it's a piece of cake! make sure your wheels are cool though, it will dry quick and look...

    Dealer Paint Protection

    My in-laws got the same dupe job on their 2013 black es 350. To compound the waste of money, My mother in law insists upon running her car through a wash with the slapping spinning brushes and says "they told me it won't scratch." needless to say, they scratch, and a six month old car looks like...
