    Body shop work - Is this acceptable?

    Actually, I do have a shot that shows the texture on the paint. I have an appointment in a week and a half to re-wrap the hood with PPF, and have to decide whether I want to cancel that appointment and go through the hassle of bringing the car back to the body shop.

    Body shop work - Is this acceptable?

    Several weeks ago, my vehicle was hit with some freeway debris, which shattered my windshield, and made a little dent near the top of the hood. I took it to a body shop, where they flattened the dent back into place, re-painted over the area that was worked on, and then re-applied clear coat to...

    Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant?

    I never used it on anything extremely faded until a few days ago, when I used it on a hard plastic hose nozzle that has been sitting out in the sun. On that item, the ETS restored the black color, but the finish was matte. On newer trim, it adds a nice sheen, but not overly glossy. Regardless...

    Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant?

    WG ETS is the best plastic trim product that I've tried so far. As for durability, I'd say it easily lasts over a year. YMMV based on external conditions that your vehicle is exposed to.

    Griots Garage glass polish issues.

    If I remember correctly, someone posted a how-to where they recommended priming the whole pad with polish before starting.

    Francisco, Do you apply any coating to the paint under the Xpel? Once the Xpel is installed, do you put a coating on top of the PPF?

    'dipping' cars

    To anyone who has experience with this: Would you recommend putting on a wax/sealant/coating first to facilitate removal in the future, or would you strip/polish off any previously applied LSP before spraying in order to ensure the best adhesion?

    It's a "Wrap"

    Nice. The car looks more sporty with the decals. Did you put on a coat of Collinite before the decals were applied?

    Ultima Waterless Wash+, spoiled or contaminated?

    The product in question was the ready-to-use 22 oz spray bottle, which did not require any mixing. Is the RTU product supposed to have the same scent as the concentrate? I wonder why concentrate is green, whereas the RTU product is white instead of a paler green. Has nobody else experienced a...

    Ultima Waterless Wash+, spoiled or contaminated?

    It has been stored in my garage. It has not been frozen. It spent several days in my bathroom. The solution that came from this bottle has always been slightly cloudy white, not green. I also wondered why it was not green, since I have a bottle of UWW+ concentrate that is lime colored, and I...

    Ultima Waterless Wash+, spoiled or contaminated?

    I have a 22 oz spray bottle of Ultima Waterless Wash Plus, and I opened it to transfer a smaller amount to a small spray bottle. When I opened it, I was confused and a bit grossed out to find some black gunk on the tubing of the sprayer. When I poured a little into the smaller spray bottle, I...

    Comparison: Tuf Shine vs Griot's Garage Tire Rejuvenator

    Thanks for helping me get the pics up, Ray. This was the first time I'd machine scrubbed my tires. In the past, I would manually scrub using GG Rubber Cleaner or an APC, followed by Rubber Prep. After the second scrub, I'd still get a significant amount of brown residue coming off the tire...

    Montana's Boars Hair Brush vs Griot's MF Brush

    I used to get discount coupon codes via email sometimes, but haven't received one in quite a while. I don't know if they stopped sending them, or if it's because I haven't ordered directly from them for quite a while. If you sign up for their mailing list on their website they might send you a...

    Montana's Boars Hair Brush vs Griot's MF Brush

    I have both of these brushes. I prefer the GG brush because: -washing a car takes a long time, and I don't want to prepare another 20 minutes ahead to pre-soak the boar's hair brush. -more importantly, the boar's hair brush does not come on a pivoting head. IME the head tends to unscrew and...

    Comparison: Tuf Shine vs Griot's Garage Tire Rejuvenator

    I started this thread on 1/28, but the dressings on the tires were applied a few days prior to that. It has now been 14 days since the tires were scrubbed clean and coated with dressings. Because I do expect fairly long durability for both dressings, I initially hadn't planned to post any...
