    Opticoat 2.0 discontinued, OptiCoat Pro sees price increase

    Bear with me here, I read as much as I could stomach throughout the 300 replies but let me try and get this straight... Optimum has discontinued OC 2.0 in an effort to further differentiate the "Pro installers" from the "hobbyists". Optimum has raised the price on the newer, allegedly weaker...

    Sprayer for Garden hose.. which one?

    I picked up a fire hose style nozzle at walmart for $5, can't account for durability but leak proof (along with the quick-disconnect fittings that I bought along with it) but the spray is alterable enough to meet my needs. Carrand 90049 Fire Hose Nozzle: Home Security : Walmart.com It was this...

    Best Extractor in the 200-250 price range?

    Yessir. Made sure the hoses rinsed clean as did the tanks and the little nooks and crannies in and about the pump(I guess) area. Little rubber flaps where water's taken into the dirty tank. It wasn't the Pro model or the LGM, it was the basic Spot Clean and it's no longer listed on their...

    Best Extractor in the 200-250 price range?

    My suction went out on my little Bissel after a dozen uses or so. It's nice, having the features of an extractor for a $100, and some people have had them last much longer, but just keep that in mind. You can buy a $100 'extractor', but you may end up needing to buy it again.

    New Car - prep before OptiCoat

    Now that is how a new Mazda should look, nice and glossy. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

    New Paint Hazy

    I think the color match is well enough, but that haze is seriously questionable. Fresh paint should be given a breather period before you take a buffer to it though, I wanna say somewhere between a month to 3 months? I'm not entirely sure, perhaps somebody else can chime in with more info.

    205 and optimum II no cutting power

    What kind of car are we talking about here? There's a post where a user achieves incredible correction with M205 and (I believe) an Orange flat pad on the PC. The catch? He was working on a red Honda Accord, and the paint was soft enough to where it worked as well it did. You wouldn't have the...

    Reccomend me a Concentrated Wash and wax product

    UWW+ Comes in a 22 oz bottle. I mix in ~1.5 oz and fill up a 32 oz bottle with distilled water. Cleans remarkably well and leaves the surface a bit slicker than ONR IMO (last bottle of ONR I had was when they revised the formula a year or so ago). It's a bit pricier than ONR, but for the...

    How to wash Ferrari Wheels and Tires

    Beautiful car and great work, I'm curious how a product like IronX or Ferrous Dueller or wheel cleaners like Sonax Full Effect and Wolfgang Uber would fare in the Tornador.

    Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection vs Ultima Paint Guard Plus

    UPG+ is a Wipe On, Walk Away (WOWA) product, you spray it on your applicator, apply and you're done. FSUPP is a traditional sealant in the sense that it's dispensed in a cream form, it also needs to be buffed off the paint after application. I've heard great things regarding both products but...

    New Car - prep before OptiCoat

    That should definitely be polished out before applying any LSP to it. Especially with how good the new 6's look.

    Can this Product List/Budget be Beat?

    - Drop the wheel wax and just M21 on your wheels. - Meg's #7 is designed for single stage paints and I'd wager your Taurus is clear coated. You won't be needing that. - Are you using a PC7424(xp)? You may want to get a 5" backing plate and 5.5" pads. Mike Phillips has plenty of articles...

    Mothers Professional Line

    D103 is nearly impossible to find let alone at a reasonable price, I'm not sure what the deal is, whether it's been discontinued or it's a formula revision, I've heard both but can't speculate either way. D101 from what I've heard isn't regarded with nearly as much praise. 3D APC is nothing to...

    Sealant options

    Blackfire Wet Diamond is one of the slickest I've used, and durability is top notch. WGDGPS is right up there with it in durability, and offers a warmer, more carnauba look than BFWD. I put Meg's Ultimate Liquid Wax on my car for the first time a month or so ago, can't account for durability yet...

    Polish on MF cutting disk?

    I've read numerous accounts of M205 and other polishes being used (sometimes to great effect) on foam cutting pads but can't say I've heard of anyone doing that with a microfiber cutting pad. Microfiber already has more bite than foam and while I don't use them myself, I imagine you'd have more...
