    Anyone use 303 on interior leather?

    The label says it can be used on leather. I haven’t tried it, wondering if anyone else has and how they like it.

    Heavily water spotted windows

    Whink is my last ditch effort when all else fails. It’s acid so use gloves. I put it on a paper towel to apply it. Then wipe it off with windex. The windex seems to neutralize the acid. Then buff or polish the glass.

    Interior leather cleaning & care

    I’ve used Lexol cleaner & conditioner for years but haven’t done any leather for a while. Now we have 2 vehicles with leather to take care of. Is there anything better out there that isn’t a real chore to use?

    Blackfire black edition ceramic coating / shelf life once opened

    Yes mine was a bit loose as well. Guessing there is a seal on top of bottle or it would have leaked during shipping.

    Blackfire black edition ceramic coating / shelf life once opened

    It looks like time will not allow me to do all of my truck at same time. I have to clay, correct & polish each panel after work so I may have to do it in sections which I’m guessing will take about 2 weeks. Will the coating be good for that long once I open it? Longer if I can’t get it all done...

    Any updates on arrival of OEM 3401 backing plates

    Thank You Mike!! You did not need to send me that backing plate but I am glad you did. Looks like it may be a while before they’re back in stock. You said it was a used plate but it looks darn near new to me. Your help, advice and customer service are many of the reasons I support this forum and...

    The Shiniest Blue Car in the Slow Lane!

    Prius came out nice! I think the only person that likes the new Chevy trucks is the one who designed that ugly thing.

    25ft. Cord for the 3401

    I would think any quality extension cord would work as long as the wires are the same gauge or one size bigger. Cut the female end off and install it. It may void your warranty.

    Any updates on arrival of OEM 3401 backing plates

    I’m a bit disappointed in how long it lasted. I think it was a combination of deterioration through time and using it. Being a hobbyist I do not use it that often but love it when I do. I guess I will have to call tomorrow and order one of the ones Mike found. They still show out of stock in...

    What pads to use with Porter Cable to remove oxidation on a 2004 Trophy Pro

    I wet sanded my old gel coat with the Trizact 3000 discs on my Porter Cable before I polished it. Big difference and a lot less work than compounding before polishing. The Marine 31 captains one step compound/polish is good stuff.

    3” polisher recommendation for friend

    One of my friends wants to add a 3” polisher to his collection. I have the Rupes mini and am happy with it. Flex & Griots have come out with new models since I bought my mini. I am not familiar with their 3” tools. I’m guessing he can’t go wrong with any of them. I do like the trigger on the...

    Meguires Hybrid Ceramic on Gelcoat... is this an option?

    Marine 31 UV50 coating. Bit time consuming to apply/remove but looks good with supposed long term durability. Just used it on my 30 year old gel coat. Looks almost new.

    3401 replacement backing plate - in stock soon?

    Won’t be soon enough. The Velcro and foam separated yesterday. Crazy how quick it goes south once it starts deteriorating.

    Marine 31 Captains Coating Removal

    I did the coated hull side with the 3000 Trizact. It did not remove it but it did get rid of the tacky feel. I hit it with the buffer afterwards and it was shiny. I could probably leave it but will most likely put a coat on it from the new bottle since I still have to coat the rest of the hull...

    Random Orbital OK on boat gel coat?

    You can do it with the orbital but it will be a bit more work. Most use the rotary to get the worst oxidation & scuffs out and finish with the orbital. If your gel coat is in decent shape, the orbital may do what you want just fine.

    Marine 31 Captains Coating Removal

    I will let ya know. You will still have to remove the wet sand marks but I would think it would be easier than compounding the coating off.
