    Question: Safely removing adhesive residue, before coating

    Genius! I'm gonna break out the old Scucci... Let's hope it still works after 4 years of sitting in the closet! Might get some de-scaler first... And yes, it's evil stuff. I'm sicking with 3m from now on (no pun intended). :)

    Question: Safely removing adhesive residue, before coating

    Hey All, So, I've slowly been working on decontaminating, compounding and polishing my 2014 Accord for the past week, and have finally gotten to the point of surface prep for PBL DSC application! She looks fantastic polished! Unfortunately, I'm a bit stuck now, and don't know how to best...

    Time to get a Shop Light

    Right on! That's a great field. I took a course in ISE at Applachian and loved it. I was an applied physics major (recently graduated). So, somehow I misunderstood your last post, and thought you had ordered a full photography lamp vs. just the stand. Whoops! Anyways, glad it worked out! I'm...

    Time to get a Shop Light

    Too cool! Cree is the best LED designer in the world, hands down. Not to mention, it's an NC company! I knew two grad students at Appalachian who applied there and loved the experience... not sure if a job ever panned out though. Are you at VT? What are you studying? I would imagine a...

    Help!!! Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish not removing, clumping

    Wow! Gorgeous results! I hope I can eventually get to something similar, but it won't be nearly as awesome as with that nice black color. As far as the bottle design... The flip top would be nice! There simply isn't a way around wasting product and mixing well with a polish of this thickness...

    Help!!! Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish not removing, clumping

    Hey all, I'm having some problems with removing Pinnacle Black Label Surface Polish in preparation for Black Label Diamond Surface Coating application. Now, I am a former detailer, but I have been out of the business since '07, and haven't applied a coating before. Lots has happened in 7 years...

    Washing foam products before first use...

    Hi all, So, I've always heeded the advice of experts and washed microfibers before using them for the first time to ensure they weren't contaminated during either the manufacturing or the shipping processes. However, when it comes to foam products like applicator pads or DA buffing pads, is it...

    Opticoat 2.0 discontinued, OptiCoat Pro sees price increase

    So ironic. I was literally about to buy some tomorrow.

    OC 2.0 Eulogized... RIP

    Any plans for a new product that outperforms 2.0? Maybe it's legacy will live on in its virtually unlimited sealed shelf life?

    Most Durable Sealants to Date

    Thanks! I'm going for a master's, and it's one of those programs where you just can't stop to breathe, even during the holidays. Coatings sound like the way to go for sure. Haven't used one before, so this should be interesting! I Had the chance to do some research on it, and all the above...

    Most Durable Sealants to Date

    Hi all, What's the best line of paint sealants out there these days in terms of durability and staying power? I wasn't really able to find a thread about this for 2014. I'm looking to seal the finish on my new car now while I have the free time to baby it. In about 3 months, I'll be lucky if I...
