    Review: Optimum Opti-Gloss Coat - 3M 1080p Gloss Vinyl on 2008 Lexus ISF

    The wheels were previously coated in Opticoat 2.0 (I believe last summer) so 4oz was used on the vinyl, headlights and taillights. When I used opti-coat 2.0, I had one application where it rained right after I applied it. The paint was still hydrophobic when I checked two months later. On...

    Review: Optimum Opti-Gloss Coat - 3M 1080p Gloss Vinyl on 2008 Lexus ISF

    I recently had my car wrapped in 3M Gloss Blackrose and I wanted to see how well a paint coating would bond to vinyl. Since I got a few boxes of Opti-Gloss Coat sitting around, why not test it out? First I emailed 3M directly to ask if their 1080p Gloss Vinyl lineup is similar to automotive...

    Brake Caliper Stains?

    Are your brake calipers painted/powdercoated with a clear finish? If it is, you can try polishing them with compound/polish liquid + MF towel and see if the stain comes off.

    A bit frustrated

    Try spraying IPA over the dusty area and give it a few seconds before wiping. If you have ONR, it works pretty well too.

    Hydro2foam

    Hey Avi, I really like the idea behind this product, but like others I have some questions regarding the application before I make a purchase. I really enjoy using CarPro Reset right now and I find it sun friendly. 1. Is it really a time saver for those with a gardening hose and 2BW? I would...

    Lexus paint question

    I don't want to add to the confusion but my 2011 Lexus IS250 was really soft. It would marr from a gentle wipe at removing polish residues. Maybe the earlier year models had harder paint? Test spot is definitely the way to go. I try 3-4 combinations whenever I polish a car and use the most...
