    Opticoat 2.0 discontinued, OptiCoat Pro sees price increase

    Go take a drive to the grocery store and tell me how many cars you see on the way are at least 11.4 years old. I'm guessing where you live, it would be a very low number, same as it is here in lowly Omaha, NE. The vast majority of cars would fit the warranty criteria.

    Best Practice - Avoid buffing on top of body lines and edges

    Some LSPs don't stain trim/emblems, so can't you just not worry about being super careful? Going over body lines for one pass with a pad that's spinning slowly, has no cut, and with an LSP that doesn't have any cut doesn't seem like much to worry about to me? I'm not a pro though. Most of the...

    I'm dying to see a review with this stuff. Absolutely can't wait. Anyone seen any around yet? Feel free to PM if necessary! I think it's going to be great stuff.

    Best drying towel?

    Why the heck do you put RO water through DI resin?

    Best drying towel?

    I can't do this at my house because the water will leave spots; it's really hard. The only type of wash I do is ONR, which, unfortunately, requires drying with a towel. Maybe someday I'll get a CR spotless, but that's a ways off--$$$$.

    Best drying towel?

    I think I need to try using vinegar when rinsing the towels and see if that helps with my issues. Our water here is pretty hard.

    Best drying towel?

    Well, it is blue! But I've never been inside a Pepboys. Obviously two stores could sell the same towel. It doesn't seem like two towels sewn together though, no. :(

    Who's planning to use Optimum Gloss-Coat?

    I can't wait for reviews of this product. I think people are going to be surprised, in a very good way. Time will tell.

    Faded Bumpers

    How does Ultima Tire and Trim Guard Plus do on stuff like this? I remember a Garry Dean video with him using it on a badly faded Avalanche. Seemed to work well from what I remember?

    What backing plate and pads size for flex 3401

    Really? Thought I had always read the opposite. Either way, I'll find out soon enough. I ordered the LC kit yesterday, along with a few pads and some other goodies I've been want to try (especially Powerlock!)

    Is pre soaking ONR really necessary???

    Wow, I can't believe that many of you presoak. I think it's usually totally unnecessary. Though, I think it might have something to do with the wash media used. If you're just using towels, then I think it's easier to drag dirt across the paint. I use a chenille wash bone that costs 3 bucks...

    buffing my 04 mustang gt black

    I had the same experience the first time I used 105/205 on my black Nissan 350Z. It's my belief that the paint on my car is rather finicky, I don't know how better to explain it. Just like you though, when I hit the paint with the halogen light, I was disgusted and really let down. For me, I...

    What backing plate and pads size for flex 3401

    Oh, and I've only ever used the CCS pads. Are flat pads easier to control with the Flex? How do hydro-tech pads differ from the others?

    What backing plate and pads size for flex 3401

    Ah, I can't decide what to get. There are some reviews that state the LC kit has broken. I don't recognize any of the names though, unlike you guys. Have any of you had issues with this or heard of such issues? Why are the hybrid pads so great with the Flex? What makes them better? I...

    Best drying towel?

    Call me crazy, but I don't really like my three HD Guzzlers. For whatever reason, they're just a PITA to use for me. They don't slide at all and I don't like to blot dry that much because it's a pain and takes longer than I like. My favorite drying towel is a large "regular" mf towel...

    whatever happened to the mr clean system?

    I used one, what I want to say was a decade ago. Don't know if they were around that long ago or not, but nonetheless I seem to recall it working quite well. They were expensive though. Can't remember too many details since I only used it once or twice a long time ago.

    2012 Black Nissan Murano Paint Correction By Scottwax

    He told me that once and I was pretty surprised considering it's the devil around here, haha. Kappy- you don't have wax or sealant on there now? How come? Glad to hear it's still looking great.
