    Collinate 845..I had to do it

    I have been using it for about 5 years. I have compared it to many other coatings and waxes. Still the best I have used. "Find a product you like and use it often".

    ONR on salty cars - Question about drying

    Been using it for at least 4 years on Canadian salted car. My method works both winter and summer. 2 buckets, sponge wash, rinse sponge in second bucket, drying towel to dry. I then wash my drying towels after and repeat. Car is 2001 and no rust issues on body. I think ONR is better than hose...

    Concours Metal Sealant

    Have used lots. Let dry 15 minutes wipe off. Takes 3 to 4 hours to "cure" but who knows.

    leather cracking - need advice

    You need the dye to cover these. Have it done by an automotive leather installer shop. They will clean the cracks and apply the dye. After use a leather protectant sold here to restore shine.

    Clearcoat spots (?)

    You can do small spots all the time. You need a polisher for 2' x 2' sections to be effective. Megs Ultimate Compound and Ulitimate Polish on a soft microfiber pad (they are blue about 5 ") work great.

    What speed for a finishing Polish and black pad?

    Black ThinPro has zero cut. Finish polish only. Speed doesn't really matter, but 4 is easy to control. I use same arm speed for most applications and number of passes to get job done. As always do a couple of test spots to get the results you want.

    Sanded through clear

    No the clear will stay the way it is. Actually there is no clear there and what you see is the basecoat. You will need to basecoat the burn through and then clear the whole panel. It is impossible to blend clear coat within the panel (body line).

    Yellow road line paint

    Lacquer Thinner or Window Washer Fluid if it is latex paint. Key is to put some on cloth or paper towel and let soak for awhile. Then wipe off. Unfortunately it is small sections at a time and will take awhile. On wheel wells you can be a bit more agressive with the solvents and still get...

    Need Help Removing Contamination

    All good advice here. If I clay and it still feals rough, I sand it with 3000 grit Trizact 3" pads. Repeat the claying to check. Can do only because is my DD and have lots of clear.

    This post kills me. Spider web syndrome? I guess you could vacuum them off if you really need to.

    Will dust hurt my paint

    I don"t get the risk of dust damageing paint. Surley waxed or sealed paint can resist the "dust" no matter what it is. Blasting it off or wiping it off is no different than if it rains on the car and you drive it on the hiway. The paint is designed to resist such wear snd tear. I don't get...

    Liquid WOWA sealant enough protection for Pacific Northwest winter?

    I live in South Western Ontario Canada. Opti-Seal will last the whole winter no problem. Easy to apply but should have paint as good as you want before use. In spring repeat.

    I had a new set of tires that turned brown like crazy. Cleaned with OPC straight, dressed with Optimum Tire Coat. Lasted one week, and turned even more brown. Broke out Tuff Shine and scrubbed until foam was going white. Applied Wolfgang Tire Coating. Lasted a week and turned brown, not as...

    So many colors...I'm so confused.

    I made my own chart based on pad manufacturer and Prodict supplier. Only work on my own car, so the chart is a guide specific to my car. Example: Orange ThinPro pad with Optimum Compound for swirl and 3000 sanding marks. I put in a plastic sheet protector and sits on the wall in the garage...

    How long does it take you?

    A more usefull tool would be what saved you time. I don't mind spending as much time as it takes to get the desired results (DD only). But I also like to use a better way if available. That leads to lots of trial and error. However once you find a good one you keep using it. That is why I...
