search the forum and/or youtube. Both have info. Also, it is a coating, not a sealant.

Great suggestion and thanks for sharing!! How about if you want black? Is it best to get stainless and paint them, or are there some good powder coated options out there? I know some of the solid black ones you can get will still rust (molded black metal, not painted)

I'm make the plunge into the 21st century. So I don't get a ton of suggestions, I'll lay out my plan and if you all can critique, that would be awesome: I'm going to use a nanoskin mitt (blue fine) for the first time on a detail this weekend. My plan is to foam the car with CGCW Red, power...

I will usually just seal with whatever I am putting on the rest of the car. Then occasionally I will add some wax (BFMS) to the front bumper, front 1/3 of the hood, and side mirrors for extra protection and easier removal of said bugs.

You shouldn't need to reapply monthly. Even with the high heat, I have gotten 3-4 months out of one application of 845 before I notice they don't clean as easy. I apply every 6 months with a wheel-off-the-car cleaning first with Meguiars DUB or Sonax wheel cleaner. I remove any tar spots with...

Save yourself some dough and just get Megs D101. Apply it undiluted. The brown will start to run off after about 30 seconds. Scrub, then apply again until you no longer see brown in the suds. Works as well as Tuf Shine tire cleaner. I only use ARO for the plastic in the wheel wells and...

I have found there is a learning to curve to many products. If this was the first car you used it on, I wouldn't necessarily bash the product quite yet. I would re-do one of those panels (try the BF prep spray) and see how it comes out. Chances are you just need to get your application method...

I think OP is referring to BFWD "sealant" not the new BF coating. So the switch is to go from a sealant to a coating

Menards has 30 pk of general purpose MF towels for $9. The item is discontinued but some stores around here still have a few in stock. They would be good for interior, engine, jambs, etc. I'd say 200 gsm (similar to MFT 200 gsm). I bought a couple bags today (had to drive to a store 20 miles...

What's worked best for me is Megs D101 neat. I spray it on the stains and let sit for a few minutes (5-10) before I throw in the wash (I would do this right before you wash...probably don't want the APC sitting on there for a day or two). Another option to do more towels at once with more...

True, but it is a paint cleaner and glaze. I'm curious if either of those properties would take care of any minimal clay marring.

I am planning to coat my car in the fall, so I don't want to polish it this spring, but rather just use BFGEP and seal with BFWD and BFCS. I'll go through my typical regimen of decon, but I usually get some marring with clay on my soft black Honda paint. My question is whether GEP will...

The texting thing really gets me. I'm battling like hell to get my daughter to stop doing it. I don't even check my phone at stoplights because I don't know how many times I've had to honk at people when a light turns green and they are still looking down typing away. Then there are the...

Prayers are up! +

Then there is the guy who goes through the touchless and pulls out his ONE plush MF from Target (16x16) and dries his car thinking he's babying the finish...road film soup with a side of scratches anyone? And what's the over/under that towel was dried with fabric softner? Let's start the odds...

Personally, I err on the side of caution when it comes to all weather mats. To me they are function over form. I'd love for them to be a nice deep clean black, but also won't risk anything that could potentially make the bottom of my shoes slick which could cause an accident. I know many...

I would soak them in a gallon of water with an ounce or two of APC. Let them soak for an hour or two, then wash them separate from the rest of the MF's.

foam gun is a PITA for me, therefore I only use it for decon on full details or usually my first 2BM after winter as a pre-soak. I just got a pressure washer so I find in more situations, I can pressure rinse, then just do a rinseless wash, then I would do before I had a PW. I don't think...

"you get a month of free car washes at my swirl-o-matic, included in my $30 detail."

something I happened to try on my last detail that worked really well: take an old drivers license (or credit card if it doesn't have raised letters/numbers) and wrap a really thin MF around it. I have some really thin ones that must be 200 gsm or so. Then just run down the crevice with the...
