    First experience with Opti coat

    I have a few questions about applying OptiCoat 2.0. Some of you may have seen a thread I posted looking for an Opti Coat Pro installer, but I decided to put my man pants on and try using OC myself. The car is a silver Prius. My questions are - 1) I used around 8-9 CC of OC only, doing all...

    How to get old all weather floormats looking new again?

    I have some gray all weather floormats that are not completely gray any longer. They're covered in stains and in some cases mold (had a leak in the car that put water underneath the mat). Will a hot water extractor rented from Home Depot do anything to clean these? I'm thinking it will take...

    Topping Optimum GPS with Collinite 845?

    I'd like to try a product like GPS to do very light swirl removal and lay down a sealant at the same time (for cars that don't need/owners that don't want to pay for a full correction/seal/wax). My concern is will GPS play nice with my beloved 845? Ever since I tried Collinite every car I do...

    How to restore this trim?

    My 2003 Mazda 6 has black trim on the B pillars. It's showing some age. I tried some OTC trim junk once and it washed onto the paint when it rained. How can I permanently correct this?

    Restoring my CR-Z's showroom shine

    I got my new GG6 yesterday and went straight to polishing my CR-Z. It was in really good shape, just had some light swirls and scratches from (my) improper washing technique. Wash: CG Citrus Wash & Gloss (1 oz per gallon to strip old wax) Clay: Meguiar's Polish: Meg's M205 on white LC pad...

    Griot's Garage 6" won't accept Lake Country 5" Backing Plate?

    Griot's Garage 6" won't accept Lake Country 5" Backing Plate? Hi All, I've had my GG6 for a few years now, so I assume it is an older generation model. All I read on these forums was that a LC 5" plate will fit PC, GG and others so I ordered up six 5.5" pads and an LC 5" plate. They came...

    CG Blacklight

    Hi guys, I bought the CG Blacklight/V7 kits from Amazon (along with M105/M205 and Natty's Blue from AG Im the MAN) and I have one question - why is there no nozzle in the cap? Like every other polish/wax I've ever purchased. What gives? It's just the 1" mouth lid that will make applying it...

    Calling all Chemical Guys Aficionados

    After much research on this forum and elsewhere online (to the point my wife asked "Why on earth do you need to spend this much time reading about wax?!" - clearly she doesn't understand the bond between man & machine), I have ...almost... decided on going with CG for my new regimen. As I...

    Need replacement pads for 6" Griot's DA

    I've had my Griot's DA polisher for a few years now, and used it probably 2 dozen times. The pads are starting to show a bit of age (very tiny tears in a few spots, noticeable enough for me to think about getting some new ones). I'd like to get a range of pads that will accommodate mild to...

    Thinking of trying Chemical Guys products

    What would be a typical "one size fits all" combo from chemical guys as far as a wash/polish/glaze/seal package? V36/38 then jet seal? I have one black car (minor swirling) and one silver one so I try to stick to products that will work well with both light and dark colors. I heard CG is very...
