Bought a bottle of Cerakote Tire Coating. I shook the bottle for a minute. There was some gunk up at the top of the bottle. I think it mixed back up or settled to the bottom. My issue was that the sprayer wouldn't work. I ended up dumping it on the applicator and working it into the tire...

Seems like a pretty good product but final result seemed to be a bit streaky. Anyone else have this issue? I did a second application to see if I can even it out some.

Picked one of the Platinum 6 inch finishing pads up at WalMart. I used it with Mothers Ceramic 3 in One as a finishing polish. This pad seems a bit firmer than some of the other finishing pads. Seemed to work well on my Herucles forced rotation polisher.

These are being sold under the Platinum brand. They are 6 inch and look to be nice quality. At $7, they are a bargain.

My windshield is 23 years old and pretty scratched up. Since I have the Hercules forced rotation machine I decided to try polishing the windshield. I used a really stiff blue pad I got from a local paint supply store and Zaino glass polish I had in my box of stuff. I'm not sure what's in the...

Grabbed a bottle of the Adams Graphene soap since I had rewards at Autozone. My previous SIO2 soaps have been McKees and Jay Leno soaps. The Jay Leno soap is pretty good. It was almost as good as the McKees but the McKees was a little slicker. So I tried the Adams. First, I'm going to say that...

LA's Awesome can be found at Dollar General and other discount stores. I've used it for various things at full strength. It's cheap, only a couple dollars and it works for cleaning brake calipers and exhaust tips and for some wheels. For clear coated and interior stuff, it would probably be...

Picked up a Hercules FR polisher today. First thing I did was reposition the handle slightly upward. The next thing I did was remove the backing plate and looked for grease on the gears. My unit had grease but I added a bit more Super Lube for added protection. I didn't dig any further into the...

Did Autogeek kill sister site Autopia?

I picked a small bottle of CG V36 at Ollies a few months back. I got a chance to try it out today. It was about 50 degrees outside. I had a small section I wanted to gloss up after some compounding with Griots Complete Compound. The V36 is water based. It worked well and left a nice finish. I'd...

Cerakote is popping up at WalMart. Has anyone tried the sealant and what is your impression?

I saw a Lodge cast iron skillet brush with a nice wooden handle at Rural King. They have one stand alone brush and one shorter version in a kit. The standalone brush is about $5. It's some type of plastic bristle but not as stiff as most plastic bristles. Picked it up thinking it might be the...

I saw this product at Rural King, similar to Tractor Supply but bigger and better. Not sure exactly how this would work but figured I'd post it. Might be a good choice for 4x4 tires. Majic 8-0018-3 Ready To Apply Tire Paint, 16 Oz – Toolbox Supply

Colorbond is a OEM approved leather and vinyl dye in a spray can. It comes in many OEM colors. This would be applied in a manner similar to any other vinyl or fabric paint. Clean the leather with Isopropyl alcohol and let dry. Hold the spray can about 12 inches away from the leather and mist an...

I recently had a leather seat back replaced and it's darker than the seat bottom. Has anyone dyed leather and vinyl trim? What did you use? I ordered some Startso World from amazon to try.

Lots of complaints about various ceramic products gelling up in the bottle. Today I went to use my two year old bottle of Wolfgang Spray Ceramic Coating and transferred some to a clear spray bottle (Last year my sprayer quit working). I was expecting to find flakes or gelled up product but it...

After sitting the winter in the house, my Wolfgang SCS sprayer head clogged up. I tried soaking it in hot water but to no avail. Might have to source a different style sprayer.

I bought the Black Shine Tire Coating because of the word coating. I figured that meant that the product would dry to the touch. Wrong. It's nice and wet looking but it stays wet and needs to be wiped off with an applicator or towel.

Can Mothers Back To Black aerosol be used as a tire dressing. I have a can that I bought for hard plastic but found their liquid version worked better on that.

Mike, I'm just wondering if there aren't too many subforums on this site and if posts tend to get overlooked because of that. Opinions?
