You have to stay in an auto parts store over night, sniff wheel cleaner, and have a vision quest. Then you are a man.

I'm dealing with this right now as well. I was thinking of making a rack to put them on in the garage. If I do it, I'll post it here. Where do you guys get bags big enough to fit wheels with tires? With tires on, even big black trash bags don't have a big enough opening.

I don't recall the actual measurement, but I was using the dark blue heavy duty gloves.

The last couple times I detailed my hands got a really bad smell from wearing the nitrile gloves for a long time. It's like a mix of rubber, garlic, and ass. It's pretty gross, and I'm wondering if it has something to do with the brand; I use the gloves from Harbor Freight. But, I also sweat a...

Re: Mike Phillips - Vehicle Inspection Form - Version 2 I'll take one, thanks Mike!

Personally I had a lot of issues with Meg's Ultimate Polish starting out. It may have just been a bad bottle, but Meg's M205 Ultra Finishing Polish is a great product and easy to use. It can be found in a lot of brick & mortar stores, O'reilly for one (by the bondo and touch up paint, not by the...

1. Honestly, since I have never used a permanent/semi-permanent coating before: Ease of application 2. Gloss 3. Scratch/Marring resistance 4. Longevity, since as SonOfOC said... 5. Etc. My few experiences with CarPro have been good, and I hear good things about CQuartz UK. I have never heard...

Which is the best coating available to NON-professionals? Which coating, available to the average detailing hobbyist (or pros who don't want to spend thousands), is the best? Which has the best protection, offers thickest coating per unit, lasts the longest, has the best anti-static properties...

As for the mitt, the CarPro Wool Wash Mitt is amazing Merino wool wash mitt, auto wash mitt, sheepskin wash mitt It's pricey for a beginner, so if you wanna stick with something microfiber, totally understandable, but this is my favorite mitt by far.

So I think I'll check out the CQuartz Finest. Or not. This is only available to pros as well... What the hell!?

Oh man, this is an oldie. You must be bored, Mike! Jk :laughing: Thanks for the reply. I think I've gotten better at this, and you're right, the people here are not at all like that. This is by far the friendliest online community I have ever seen.

Where do you get quality terry cloth towels anymore? All the ones in stores are so cheap you can see right through them, and Meguiar's terry towels are nowhere to be found.

So does anyone else have experience with coatings other than OC2? Sorry, I appreciate all the input, just trying to get back to alternatives since OC2 is now out of the question for most of us.

I did not come here to argue with you, Bob. I'm just trying to get some information about coatings, so if you're only here to argue with everyone, then please go. Thank you everyone else for the info.

Very informative! Thanks! :cheers:

HOLY CRAP. YES! He made a valid comment about the longevity of a product. You just said nothing would ever live up to Opti-coat 2.0.

I hope your most recent play isn't supposed to be quoting me. I didn't say it had to be in the same vein as Opti-coat 2.0. But something has to take the place of the best available, whether it is as good as the previous champion or not. Who is Dr. G? There's no G in Mike Phillips... jk, I've...
