    Paint correction on 197? Pontiac Firebird - Protecting Hood Artwork (Paint flaking)

    I see a disaster...in the photos and one waiting to happen if you take a DA to that paint. The orange that you described is exposed primer...not 'patina'. If your friend likes that 'look'...all he has to do is be patient and that 'look' will overtake the vehicle. I would take a hard pass on...

    What are your opinions regarding Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam?

    I bought mine from Amazon.....when you factored in the shipping costs.....it was the same price and it got to me quicker.

    Question on detailing finishing product

    An excellent suggestion. You might also want to consider Jescar Ultra Lock Plus. I've used the Wolfgang Deep Gloss SIO2 version and Ultra Lock Plus. Both were super easy to use, glossy, slick and durable. I believe you'd be happy with either one.

    IK foamer 12 worth it?

    They blocked my link to the HDX sprayers....but just go to Home Depot website and search HDX sprayers. I actually have one of the Ryobi sprayers too...I use mine to spray our shrubs in the yard with deer repellent....works awesome. I'd give you a link to the one I have.....but that would...

    IK foamer 12 worth it?

    I love the IK foam Pro 12. Charging it is simple...I have mine loaded with Bilt Hamber Touchless at 4% PIR (25 to 1)....and use it for a presoak on coated vehicles. In my experience, it's worked very well for that task. Here's a link for the HDX sprayers I use. There are times during the...

    IK foamer 12 worth it?

    Rather than filling multiple spray bottles with your solution, consider one of the HDX pump sprayers that they sell at Home Depot. I got tired of using spray bottles, and you can get the one gallon size reasonably priced, and it will not take up much room. I have a small IK foamer and a Form...

    Iron remover

    I do not see a reason why not. I have a 2013 Tundra with 121k.....when it gets a full detail, its gets clayed and sprayed with Iron-X.

    Using snow foam to wash car

    I reached out to Bilt Hamber.....was told Touchless at 4% PIR is safe for coated vehicles, but even at that dilution, could possibly degrade sealants and/or waxes. I decided to proceed on the side of caution when using it as a pre-soak.

    2017 F350 Concrete Rig

    Having used all three products.....neither of the Rupes products match Speed for slickness or gloss...in my experience. Rupes Uno Advanced advertises protection up to a year......on it's own with just regular washes, it's weak at 4 months, and pretty much done at 6 months. I've never had Speed...

    Using snow foam to wash car

    Interesting...I never really thought about a rinseless for a pre-soak....but I understand your choice. just out of curiosity...which rinseless do you use? I've been using Bilt Hamber Touchless as a pre-soak on coated vehicles, but am kind of sheepish about using it on any less of an LSP

    17 Rinseless Washes Reviewed: pictures, charts, smell tests, and pseudo-science

    Thank you for that...had to be time (and money) consuming. I'm still new to the whole waterless and/or rinseless washing technique and products. This provided some very useful info for me. This is exactly why forums like this one can not become a thing of the past

    Another hoax…

    As much as I hate to say this....Trumps poll numbers rising are exactly what his opponents want. I doubt that the Republicans would nominate him....they want DeSantis. Even though I thought he was good for this country, Trump is as narcissistic as they come and will run as an independent, and...

    Anyone switch to the ONE-bucket method?

    Switched to the one-bucket/multiple wash mitt method years ago. I do a lot of laundry, but seems to be working so far.

    Buhog got Gyeonized and back to the pappy look

    Looks awesome. I'm also a big fan of MOHS EVO. It was the first legit coating I used, and the application could not have been easier.
