    Easiest way to prevent clear coat failure on older DD in Florida weather 24/7?

    That definitely sounds like the stuff I need. It looks like it is pink now.. I wonder if the formula has changed?

    Easiest way to prevent clear coat failure on older DD in Florida weather 24/7?

    How do you think Opti-Seal is compared to this? I saw Big Dave's post where his failed even though he has taken good care of it.

    Easiest way to prevent clear coat failure on older DD in Florida weather 24/7?

    There are lots of great suggestions here.. Thanks! It seems that if I can get out and wash it a couple of times a month and then just use one of the easy, long-lasting spray sealers that might be the ticket for me. If that doesn't work out I'll probably try to find a good car cover but I'm...

    Easiest way to prevent clear coat failure on older DD in Florida weather 24/7?

    I'd be curious to know what you used and how long it lasts? This might be the way to go for me.. that is quick. I saw a recent video from a diy detail supply business on YT with the former guy from Optimum Car Care.. where they used their sealant as a lube for their clay mitt and clayed and...

    Easiest way to prevent clear coat failure on older DD in Florida weather 24/7?

    What coating would you recommend and how long would it last? Could I get away with just claying the car prior to coating?

    If I used this as a drying aid after a car wash bi weekly would it give sufficient protection?

    Easiest way to prevent clear coat failure on older DD in Florida weather 24/7?

    I have a 9 year old Subaru Impreza that sits outside 24/7 in the central Florida sun and weather. I only wash it about once a month with a nice hand wash. I really don't enjoy polishing anymore but do have a PC dual action. It seems I'll polish it out once a year and wax it with Big White...

    Windshield coating - skipping wipers (new car)

    That's a great deal.. I've never seen a 40% off before. When does that usually happen? I also just realized it is a coating that lasts three years. Think I'll be getting a bottle when I catch it on sale (hopefully at 40% off).. I like how Mike describes it as being very slick... I like slick.

    Richy's M105 video (no dusting technique)

    Thanks!.. I'm not sure though. I thought they were talking about his misting his pad with water and I didn't see him do it in this video?

    Review: DP GR4 Graphene Wash

    Mike, I noticed you said it has been a few months since washing the DD and you had bug guts on the front. How long has it been since you cleaned the guts off and how did you do it if it wasn't a regular wash? The bugs have etched the heck out of my front bumper.

    How many here are still using the Porter Cable DA?

    I haven't tried that many but found good success with Maquiar's 5" pads though I didn't think they lasted very long before they wore out. Right now I have some LC HydroTech 5.5" that I just tried on some test spots and like them a lot. I hope to try their flat and thin pro pads next. I also...

    How many here are still using the Porter Cable DA?

    Back in 2004 when I bought a Corvette I met a guy online at the Corvette forum who worked for Autogeek. He talked me into getting the PC.. it is the pre-XP one. I never really got good results with it other than applying wax until I found Mike Phillip's instructionals on how to use it...
