    what's your weather currently like?

    Well lately we have been evacuated due to a possible dam failure, all rivers are maxed out, and emergency dam repairs underway. Fortunatly we are back at home monitoring the situation. We are prepared to have to re-evacuate at any time. Quite a ways from the dam itself, but if she goes it is...

    how much would you charge???? just curious

    Good question. For a really good friend that wants to learn, I do stuff for free, esp if I have excess product like coatings. For those who just want a bunch of free labor, or want to take advantage, I charge them 70+ an hour, plus material. I do this for my own hobby. Don't mind helping friends...

    Coated cars and the use of RW's and their effects on the coating. What do you use?

    I should have written that better. D114 works great. I like Ech2o better than D114. esp mixing in a couple of oz of reload in the detail dilution mix. I like the added gloss, and it seems to better keep the coatings fresh.

    Coated cars and the use of RW's and their effects on the coating. What do you use?

    I have been using Ech2o over Kamikaze, Blackfire crystal coat, and Gtechniq. Using it in all dilutions from waterless, rinseless, topper. I find it to work well, not haze, nor streak, and looks fantastic. More than anything it falls into my aftercare routine better than pulling out the...

    Mike Phillip's comment on coatings lasting more than a year

    All my coated cars are over a year in and going strong. Washed carefully, washed often, with coating specific products and maintained with reload, and now ech2o. Only 1 so far has been touched up with car pro essence+. For the outside cars Blackfire has held up the best. Inside car is going to...

    Carpro Ech2o vs Uber... Same or different

    The benefit is you combine steps to some degree. The benefit of the added gloss from Ech2o, with the added protection of reload. The look is just amazing. I have some Gyeon Cure to try in the mix and check the results, if it ever stops raining. The mix tip came from Car Pro themselves. The...

    Wanted: ACTIVE forum member in Brentwood, California area for new episode of Competition Ready

    Yep its a small town kind of rural judging by the map. I take my car to Rio Vista for servicing, which is fairly close. Rio Vista is a farming community. Strangely they have a huge Corvette, and Camaro following and its strange to drive through the open fields to a dealership which you would...

    Wanted: ACTIVE forum member in Brentwood, California area for new episode of Competition Ready

    Maybe not so much the area but I live an hour away and never heard of Brentwood. I have lived here for a long time, over 40 years. When I clicked on the title I thought it would be a suburb in So Cal to be honest. Maybe change the title to Sacramento/ Bay Area detailers wanted? It really...

    Carpro Ech2o vs Uber... Same or different

    I have not used the Uber, but have used many products on coated paint to include Ech2o. I have found it to work very well on three different coatings when used in all of its intended dilutions. The surface is very slick, and somehow the surface manages to look even better with a kick in gloss...

    Filling Capabilities With Cquartz Or Gloss Coat

    Three products you should consider. Car Pro Essence+ and to wash rinseless, or waterless Car Pro Ech20, and Reload. I am very very impressed with these three products and they work very well on other coatings than Car Pro. They are specifically designed for coated paint. CarPro ECH2O Waterless...

    Wax or Coating

    I tend to look at this differently. The branch scratchess are either going to end up in the clear coat, or the coating, if they are shallow. The coating can be repaired, or polished off and redone. The clear will eventually, if enough removal takes place will have to be resprayed. I think I...

    ECH2O 2nd use (left over juice)

    This is a must try product. I love this product. So far used it rinseless, and detail spray dilutions. They knocked it out of the park with this one for sure.

    Should I give up?

    I would hit it with some car pro essence+ on the hood. That should get looking much better. Then use Car Pro ECH20 as a drying aid/detail spray. I as think it may be during the last process and the car being dry. If you do just the hood as a trial, dry half wet with ECH20 as a drying aid/detail...
