    fabric roof leaks on 1996 Lincoln Town Car

    So, could that mean the water-proofing is causing water to channel directly to the point of the interior leak?

    Wax job - prep question

    I'm thinking about using Backfire Gloss Enhancing Polish on a well maintained black Volvo. It has no abrasives but lots of cleaners and also fillers for minor swirls & scratches. Does anyone have experience with this product?

    can't clean paint

    Sounds like a "multiple" process may be needed. I have a friend that has a gunky-film on his show Mustang. We got it off his windows with Duragloss Nu-Glass and lots of elbow grease. I gave him a bottle of DG Marine Polish (the cleaner), but it looks like it may take something stronger to remove...

    How do you apply Duragloss Enviroshield

    Now that many of you have used the Duragloss Enviroshield coating, have you learned any tips or have any experiences to enhance the process? I have decided to coat my wife's DailyDriver instead of doing a lengthy clay/polish/clean/seal/LSP. Any advice from your experience is greatly appreciated.

    Making black "pop"

    It looks like you have the right idea about paint prep. (Good advice from all.) the DG 105 is an excellent sealant with great durability.. But.. DG 111 "pops" more. I have great results putting the DG 601/111 over a layer of cured 601/105. All my vehicles are black and I'm happy with the...

    Alright geeks,need your opinions

    I would also suggest check the best price point and buy that gallon (or more) to donate for the next fund-raising request. That will keep them away from your stash and make you a hero. :autowash:

    Everything we know is wrong! - Warning: Cringing ahead.

    You know.... If you bought a car from a used car dealer in the last 50 years, your car was probably prepped like that first video. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Why isn't everyone using coatings if it is "better" than sealants?

    So does that mean "maintenance" to a coating is simply adding back any hydrophobic and gloss enhancement that may have gone away with the permanent coating? In other words, is the coating still there, we just still need to remove accumilated contaminants? Then add back the enhancement...

    Coating Recommendation

    I'm not a chemist, but when it comes to mixing proprietary blends, like bourbon, vodka, wine, beer or even shampoo I have learned it may be best to talk to someone experienced with the chemistry.:cheers: Why don't you just call the company and ask? I think the number is 386.259.0759. Better...

    Why isn't everyone using coatings if it is "better" than sealants?

    So.... beyond coatings.... Industry marketing trends suggest the next big thing will be wraps & dips. Product manufacturers are gearing up to push products that enhance cleaning and appearance for these new finishes, including the trend to matte finishes. Will there be lots of re-branding of...
