How much Touchless to put in the IK pump up foamer?

my search hadn’t revealed a thread on the topic since 2015 so… I have a pair of vinyl stripes in my old MINI that are getting pretty worn. I’ve tried to baby them but I think they’re done. Tips on removing? Bonus: I assume I’ll have to replace them as I won’t be able to match the paint under...

Next month, I’ll be doing decon washes on the Maverick and aNavigator. I imagine the CQUK is still good (and performance bears that out). However, the CanCoat on the Lincoln is not performing and after 28 months I assume it’s gone. I also want to finally coat my Astro black MINI convertible. I’d...

It is dry here and I’m always so rushed when doing a hose wash. Have a couple of decon washes I need to do. A general question and a specific one… G. Any tips for doing a wash with hose/pressure washer in very dry climates? S. Are those inexpensive inline (with hose) DI(ish) filters any good?*...

Friend of mine takes her big dog with her most places. There’s nose prints on all the windows. Is there anything to help make cleaning the inside of the windows easier. Thought about maybe getting some P&S reflect (suggested elsewhere). Here’s the windows directly after washing, claying...

Do wheels need a coating designed just fir them or will the same painting from your paint work just fine?

Just rewatched the video on the APP stuff I got from DIY and this time I noticed I can’t use a flat pad. Don’t have any non-flat. Don’t have their panel prep. Afraid I’m not going to be able to use the coating Guz sent me. Guess I’m going to have to guy buy a coating. Sick of all these...

Just got my new car but my wife’s Navigator is a 2014 model. It looks nice, runs well (so far), and doesn’t show too much age. When I talked with her about it being close to time to change tires, she said something about not keeping it too long. If she means getting a new navigator*, it’ll be...

A couple of years ago, when my ‘22 Maverick was new, I applied Adam’s interior coating to it. I have some DIY Interior Ceramic left over from another vehicle. The Adams was supposed to last a long time but if it’s near the end?

In December 2022, I put CQUK3.0 and Gliss on my new Maverick and at the same time put Gyeon CanCoat Evo in my wife’s 2014 Navigator. Hoping to do a Decon wash on both when it warms up. What are your bets on what’ll be left on each vehicle? For reference, they are both garage kept. We put very...

I’ve been told to use a compound on a microfiber pad before applying the ADS Glass coating. Here’s my choices: Meg’s D300, Wolf’s Medium cut, and Rupes Blue that came with my nano. What would y’all suggest (assuming they’re all still useable(the first two are a decade old at least))?

Can you use IronX like Yvan shows using their iron remover? That is using one spray on the clay towel and one spray on a panel per panel.

I have and have been using GTechnic interior clean (Tri-clean, Matte Dash, Leather). For the new Bronco, I’ve been eyeing DIY interior ceramic. Part of me says use up what I have. Part of me says use the GTechnic on my wife’s car and order the new stuff for my Bronco. Thoughts?

Hoping to get things arranged to pick up a new hot pepper red badlands Sasquatch Bronco with hard-top today. Is CQuk still the best option? I have it on my son’s ‘21 maverick and it’s still going strong. Here good things about mohs evo. I guess csl is still the worst option of the three main...

Put Cancoat Evo on my wife’s Navigator in December ‘22. Still seems to be doing ok; we don’t drive it much and it’s garaged. We’ll be taking it to Montana next month (from Texas). Have been considering putting a topper on it before then. Looking at, but not totally decided on, Gyeon Q2 Wax...

Put Gliss over CQUK3 about this time last year. Only maintenance has been using Echo or Elixir every once in a while. Anything except maybe a maintenance wash I should do?

Building on the SEMA 2023/4 thread, what new products are you looking forward to?

Do either Gyeon or CarPro offer a dash (etc) coating or long lasting protectant? Been using Gtechniq C6 dash but primarily use these two brands personally. If they don’t (or there’s something better), what out there performs superiorly?

How would you prepare for a long road trip? the details: We are going from the Texas South plains up to Yellowstone soon. We’ll be taking my wife’s Tuxedo black Lincoln Navigator. Figure I’ll take extra window cleaner and towels since we’ll take pictures from the car of wildlife.

Driving back from Port Aransas, Texas. What recommendations for any different cleaning you would do after driving on sand and through salt air?
