    Duragloss 252 Awesome! Anything else from them worth geting?

    I was recently low on Duragloss 253 so tried some other tire dressings but ended up buying 253 again. I tired Meguiars Hyper Dressing, Gyeon Tire (gel), and TWHSGATSSC but between looks, longevity and ease of application, I went back to 253. I should also mention I have Michelin Pilot Sport...

    GlassParency Boost

    I really like Glassparency Boost and primarily use it as a drying aid but it works well dry too. Leaves a nice shine and nice short-term protection.

    2022 Acura MDX Type S

    Didn’t know about the air suspension either so thanks Guz. And I agree on the design as this year of the MDX looks pretty good and I haven’t always thought that on the MDX even though I’m an “Acura” guy. Nice job as usual Scott. That pillar trim was horrible for such a new car, my guess is the...

    Yes, another water spot question

    If they’ve been there for a while, and since you stated that even vinegar didn’t completely remove them, I think you’ll need to remove them mechanically. I’d recommend getting a cleaner polish or a fine polish with a mild pad. What’s the difference between a cleaner polish and fine polish...

    T/W Hyper-Foam Wheel and Tire Cleaner / Graphene/Acrylic Tire Coating - 5 months later

    Thanks Don for sharing. I tried TWHSGATSSC but it wasn’t my favorite. Even after putting 2 coats on, after a couple days the tire looked barely dressed but one time I didn’t get to wash for a couple weeks. When I washed the car and tires, I could tell the TWHSGATSSC was still there (unlike...

    Rupes New Microfiber Pads

    I’d get the Rupes Yellow Wool actually as my work horse pad. Good correction ability and finishes down well. I used to like microfiber but not after using the wool. I have even been able to do a one-step on black paint (Kia Soul) with the Rupes Blue Coarse Wool pad and Griot’s Fast Correction...

    Sad Saturday ...

    Man! Don’t do that. I was thinking the worst. But I know what you mean, we had mid 70s until Friday and today it is rainy and cold and I need to disconnect the hose today due to freezing the next few days. And my car needed washing but I was slammed with work so didn’t even get to wash it...

    Glad your wife noticed so quickly as I thought that was an after and after photo set as I couldn’t identify any differences. :)

    CQuartz UK 3 polish with Essence 1st

    Do the baggie test to see if you need to clay the vehicle to remove embedded contaminants. The baggy test means to take a thin plastic bag, put your hand inside, and then drag it across the paint in various places: hood, roof, trunk, and especially rear bumper where contaminants gather. The...

    Dumb CanCoat replace/over CQ Lite question

    First, you could just clean the surface and apply right over the top but then the new coating wouldn’t last as long. Since it seems there is still some old coating left, you should at least give it a light polish to remove the coating, do a prep wipe to remove polishing oils, and then you’ll...

    Rupes Nano Ibrid

    Very slight improvement in power as compared to a fresh battery but not enough for me to use it except when the batteries aren’t charged. Don’t think any material difference in working with pads.

    My parents live in an apartment and all the cars near there have BAD water spots due to sprinklers.

    SEMA 2022/2023 New Products

    Thanks Bosko but nothing really new there except maybe the wash mitt piece like the pad cleaner that pumps water up. I have all of these pieces except the wash mitt piece and really like them. Like being able to scrub on the scrub wall with either a wash mitt or brush. And really like the pad...

    Looking for opinions on "lost" hobby / Trying HARD to break out of my funk

    I’d personally like to see you continue with helpful how-to posts but also add in some product reviews. Maybe you could do some real world tests like clean tires really well and put 4 different products on the tires to see how they hold up. Then give regular updates. Or work with various...

    Looking for opinions on "lost" hobby / Trying HARD to break out of my funk

    Please don’t. You’re dealing with a trauma and trauma of the mind takes much longer to deal with than trauma of the body. You’re at an early stage and still sensitive, the same as you’d be sensitive if having just had surgery. So yes, you may be sensitive but it is to be expected and this is a...
