So I detailed an SUV today that has black plastic trim. I applied a highly recommended protectant with a microfiber cloth. Everything looked great right after application, but after it dried the black trim looked like it was cloudy and hazy. Wondering if anyone has had this problem? And I'm...

Hi all, I bought some Jescar Powerlock, and I'm sure it's going to be an amazing product from all the rave reviews on it. Question though...can you apply it to hard plastic trim surfaces, wheels, and headlights/taillights like you can Collinite 845? Or is it only for painted surfaces? And...

Hello all, Been a while since I've been around...and I just saw that DWG 2.0 is no longer available. Can someone recommend a glaze that works as well as DWG for a 2005 acura tl with dark grey paint? I have some paint issues that need to be covered up, since they cannot be corrected due to...

Hello everyone, I have some machined face wheels that have been damaged by what looks like a cleaner that was applied to the wheels when they were too hot, or left on too long or something like that...and now they look soo cloudy. I've tried to polish them with Megs 105, Megs 205 by hand, and...

So, I was trying to find the "end-all" thread that would answer this question, but I came up empty, so help me out: If you apply Opti-coat to a brand new car, does it really last for the lifetime of the car, and you will NEVER have to wax your car ever again? Does it really perform like that...

I have wheels like this on my acura tl: And I was wondering...when you wax/seal them, do you apply the wax to just the outer edges of the wheel, or do you need to reach your hand all the way back into the wheel and wax all the parts that you can reach? I've never owned a car with "open"...

On a fully corrected car? Or is it not worth it? I don't have much experience with glazes. The only one I've ever used is Megs #7, and it has never wowed me on newer clear coat paint (I know it's best used on SS paint). I'm looking for a definite visual difference in gloss, like you can't...

I've been reading how polycharger gives spray waxes greater durability, and I was wondering which spray waxes have it in them. And specifically, does OCW have it in their latest formula? Just wondering...

Hello everyone, I see that this brush is recommended for cleaning leather seats: From the forum members that have used it, can you tell me if the brush really works well for cleaning, and is not too harsh on the leather seats? I'm wondering if it will scuff the leather or take off any of...

Which one would you recommend? This is for a 2005 Acura TL. And is there a list somewhere of the leather cleaner/protectants that AG sells that are specifically for coated leather? Some of the descriptions don't really tell you if it's for real or coated leather. So confused about all the...

I will be working on an '82 Mercedes Benz, and I want to bring the poor oxidized paint back to life. I will be using Mike P's method of saturating the paint with Megs #7, then using M80 speed glaze by hand (too afraid to use my Flex...don't want to burn through the paint accidentally). I'm...

Hey everyone, I just thought I'd post this problem, hoping that someone else may have experienced this and can help me figure out what's wrong with my stereo system. The car is a 2005 Acura TL with all factory components (to my knowledge). I bought the car used. When I bought the car, I...

Do you need to take extra precautions when polishing raised edges if you are using a mild polish like DG501, WG FG, M205, or Opt. Poli-seal, with, for example, a CCS white pad? Or will you still cut through the clear over a period of time if you don't take precautions?

So my friends at work keep asking me about products, and most of the time they want an OTC product to use on their cars. So I'm looking for opinions on what you guys think the best OTC cleaner/wax is on the market. Thanks! :)

Hi everyone, I've really been thinking about this topic a lot, and I hope you can help me. Say you've used Megs 105/205 on your DD, and you have the finish looking good for a DD. So most of the time you would just need like a cleaner polish for the rest of the year or two to maintain the...

Hi guys, I would like to know...if you are using a sealant like WG DGPS or Klasse, do you always have to use some kind of paint cleaner/polish/AIO before applying the sealant? Do you always need some kind of cleaner step so that the sealant will bond to the paint effectively? If that is the...

Hi, Will applying KAIO with a tangerine hydrotech pad with a Flex 3401 create any marring? I know the KAIO has no abrasives per se (it's a chemical cleaner), but I'm concerned that the pad itself would cause marring on my paint. Trying to get my 1999 camry ready for the winter with KAIO + 2...

I have been thinking a lot about sealants lately, and I would love to have these questions answered: 1. I am assuming that most sealants have like a 4-6 month durability. Is that with only 1 coat? Or do you have to layer it 12 hrs apart with 2 coats to get the max durability? 2. If you...

DON'T do what I just did.... 2005 Acura TL with sticky gray leather OK, so I've been trying like crazy to figure out what will clean off the sticky/tacky stuff that is on the center armrest of my 2005 Acura TL with grey interior. Evidently this is a big problem with Hondas. I read somewhere...

Hi all, Been researching this topic, but I haven't found the answer yet...how long do you wait between coats of Autoglym HD? Is it like a sealant where you have to wait about 12 hrs between coats, or do you treat it like a carnauba wax that can be layered without the extensive curing time in...
