    Leather topcoat worn through, fixes?

    Cleaned the Katzkin seat covers in my RAM earlier today and ended up with what looks to be a patch where the topcoat has worn through. There was no dye transfer, but once I saw that patch I didnt bother to try and make it happen. Just used Gyeon mild leather cleaner, agitated with a soft...

    Are you kidding me, dealer?!?

    I made a do not wash sign for each window in my car, plus the steering wheel plus hanging from the rear view mirror. After the Infiniti dealer effed up my black opticoated g37, they deserve the signs. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Are you kidding me, dealer?!?

    A dealer did this to my basically perfect g37 that I hsd paid to get opticoated. Swirled the hell out of the whole car. I made them pay for correction and reapplication of opti. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Detailing stainless steel running boards/side steps

    I have a set of stainless steel running boards on my pickup. They have the typical black plastic step pads where people *should* step to get into the truck, but outside that is stainless steel. I want to clean and protect the whole thing...I figure the step pads are easy, whatever exterior trim...

    For those using coating saver applicators

    I agree. Just the fact it can conform to slight variations in the body shape is huge IMHO. Feels similar to using a round foam applicator when applying opticoat 2.0 but not grabby. Does it actually SAVE coating? Maybe. But to me at least it makes a good applicator for it. Didn't think of...

    Ruined my Meguiars MF pads on first use.

    I bought into the system when it was first released (to the public). It did come with its own backing plate, and compared to my previous backing plate the velcro was definitely shorter pile. So I changed over to their plate. FWIW, it seems to work fine on all other pads as well, so Ive just...

    Problem encountered with coating

    This happened to me when I used Optimum Gloss Coat. most likely nothing to do with the coating, but I was using it in the fall, and by early evening when I went to apply the coating I started to see cloudy spots underneath it. I attributed it to the dropping temps causing condensation. Hard...

    Morning dew and coatings, does it matter

    Yep I asked around here if one of those tents would be OK. I even have one with side and end panels to block as much as possible but was told it still might be an issue depending on overnight humidity levels. Self storage idea is one i didn't think about. Just not sure the minimum number of...

    Nice job bringing in The Rag Company, Autogeek....

    Any recommendations for which TRC towels for coatings? Specifically which to level and which to buff with. I'll be trying out the autofiber saver applicator for applying. Thanks. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    Mother's CMX CERAMIC SPRAY COATING

    Went to my local pep boys over the weekend and saw the shelf space for cmx. Not sure if they had some and sold out or just made the space. What I find interesting is how the average Joe will know why cmx is any different than the myriad of products already on the shelf at pep boys. *We* know...

    Coating Cars Outdoors

    I planned on using CSL on my truck this spring. I have no problem coating it outside, but they do say you need to prevent moisture exposure for at least 12 hours My truck doesn't fit in my garage.... Would dew from sitting overnight be an issue? Or even during the day if the temp changes...

    Starting with brand new leather

    Actually, they don't really have any instructions on *routine* maintenance. Just "spots and spills" and "stubborn spots and spills". I find that....interesting. Does that mean if I never drop anything on my leather, I can just leave it alone?
