Good morning. In a few weeks I am going down to my buddies on Saturday and we will be polishing and applying cquartz. I have read conflicting posts saying it would be ok to drive in rain after an hour, while others say I would need to wait the full 48. Is there anyone with experience on...

Hey everyone. I have a vehicle that has some NASTY caked on carbon on the exhaust tips. I cant tell whats underneath so I don't quite want to go to steel wool just let. I don't think APC will dissolve all of that, but maybe you guys know better. I was thinking about getting some Brasso OTC...

Hey guys. General question here. If I have a few chips the size of pencil erasers and use either Dr. Colorchip or oem touch up, could I just use a PC and a light polish on a white pad to level down the glob? Or would it still be recommended to use the sealant in the Colorchip kit? I ask this...

Hey guys. I am going to Opti Coat my car (2nd time doing it) and I was looking on recommendations for a QD or a QW to use after washes. Only really looking for about a week worth of slickness since I do weekly washes and looking to spend 20-40 max on a gallon of said product. I know these are...

Hey guys, two years ago-ish I did my VW GLI with Opti-Coat. I used two applications and this is how much I have remaining: Is this enough to do a 2013 Lancer Evolution X? I would like to do two applications again, however I am unsure if I have enough. Thanks pros!

Hey everyone. I just purchased a 2013 Lancer Evolution and I am looking for a detailer that is willing to apply Opti-Coat to my wheels. I have a half of a syringe of Opti-Coat but do not have the patience or tools to get the wheels off and coated and retorqued properly. I am willing to...

I read you can clean opti coat with opti seal but I don't have any and it's not OTC. Can I use a cleaner wax by hand or red finishing pad to clean OC instead of opti seal? Thanks guys!

So I'm hoping this is the proper place to write this but I want to give a short review/success story of OC 2.0. Basically I've had this on my car since the spring and it was really put to the test when i was driving down a back road and some 5 yr old decides to throw an egg at my car. Now...

Hey guys, I Opti-Coated my car but am buying a new grill and some other trim pieces. How would you guys go about applying Opti-Coat to these pieces because of the intricate design? Just the standard foam pad and just try to get it the best I can? Spray gun is not an option here, just...

The new opti-coat 2.0 (just ordered Sunday), can be layered correct? The reason I ask is bc I think I may have missed a few spots on the hood and would like to re-apply there without having to compound it off if possible. Thanks!

Ahh I dropped a white polishing pad but I cleaned it out. Or so I thought. It left some scratches, none that can be felt by a fingernail, just deeper RIDS I suppose. Do you guys think Megs 101 + LC Orange CCS pad will get these out on notoriously hard VW clear? Also, what can I do to make...

Hey guys, I was working on my 2009 Jetta the other day and removed the swirls from the hood of my car but found some RIDS. The combination I used was XMT Swirl Remover 2 and a LC orange 5.5 foam pad. To get rid of the RIDs should I move up the pad first or to a more aggressive polish/compound...

I got this product in my light swirl removal product but I am not quite sure when to use it?? I read that it shouldnt be used before a sealant because it has carnuaba, but I also read it won't really work well as a LSP due to protection. Should this product be used between sealant applications...

Hey guys, I recently purchased Iron X due to its overwhelming good reviews and my need to remove rail dust from my white car. I will be using this in the spring but have a question on its usage. It says not to use on SMART paint repairs, but I dont really know what these are. The spots in...
