I would try Solution Finish. I've used in for roof racks that have faded and it works well. Seal it with WETS.

This Craftsman Wet/Dry Vac is 33 years old. It's outlasted two Professional Shop Vacs, had the wheels replaced, the plug replaced and has the hose extension from my old Shop Vac making it 12' long. When I first bought this it was used in my shop for cleanup and as a dust collector for...

I've been using Duragloss Wash since July almost exclusively in an MTM Hydro PF22 Foam Cannon. I was previously using Pinnacle Bodywork shampoo and liked it too. I'm adding about the same amount to the foam cannon bottle and the foam is great. The scent is not that big a deal. The price per...

I use Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay with their Clay Lube and don't get any marring with it. I do the baggie test first and if the surfaces are rough I clay the entire vehicle. This is a fine clay and I use it a couple times a year on my vehicles before applying wax or sealant.

I've been using Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay with their Clay Lube for a number of years. While some more aggressive clay can cause marring requiring polishing, I find that Ultra Poly Clay does not cause marring on my vehicles clearcoat. I go right to LSP after claying and frequently check the...

My truck sits in my shop as well and hasn't been used regularly due to having a take home vehicle from work. Any time you are using a saw, router, sander, etc. the fine dust is going to get airborne and settle on your truck. I would back mine outside of the shop whenever I needed to work on...

Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant works well for this. I have full length running boards on my Ram 1500 and use WETS to treat the black plastic. It can be slippery after applying but that goes away after a couple of washes. Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant, rubber protectant, metal protectant...

Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant works well for exterior plastic, vinyl, etc. It last for several months on my daily drivers parked outside 24/7.

I use Liquid Souveran on my vehicles as well and during the spring when the pollen gets bad I hit them with the pressure washer and blow dry with the leaf blower. When I do a full wash with the foam cannon (when the cars are really dirty after rain), I'll use Pinnacle Spray Wax or DG Aquawax as...

I took a photo of my work vehicle after using the coating wash and drying it off.

I mixed up just enough to fully cover one vehicle using about a 1/4" of coating wash mixed with a 1/3 filled bottle on my MTM PF22 foam cannon. I had a feeling the suds wouldn't last so I pressure washed the entire vehicle (that really wasn't too dirty) first, cleaned the wheels and tires with...

I recently purchased Wolfgang Über SiO2 Coating Wash and plan to try it out tomorrow when the weather warms to the mid-40's. Has anyone tried this product in a foam gun or foam cannon and how much did you add to the bottle? I usually add about 1/4" to the foam cannon bottle measured up the...

Nice! Good luck with it!

Had I known the Rim Shield would interfere with the tire coating I wouldn't have tried to top coat the tires, I would have applied tire coating first and let it dry and come back the next day with the Rim Shield and sealed the wheels. Lesson learned. I did check the wheels after scrubbing the...

I've already talked to the Ops Manager at our motor vehicle shop. When the front brakes are ready to be changed I told them I want to move to ceramic pads. I had them on my last truck and the difference in brake dust between the semi-metallic stock pads and the ceramic pads was night and day.

Does he ever do the math to see what he's actually earning after finishing one of these jobs? A $1,200 job at 35 hours is only $34.28 per/hr. That is not taking into consideration profit and overhead for his business. He needs to understand what it costs to run his business, his overhead, what...

I power scrubbed each tire twice with McKee's APC rinsing between each coat, followed by McKee's Tire and Rubber Rejuvenator and additional power scrubbing. The tire coating wasn't the problem, I've been using it for years. The issue was coating the wheels with Sonax Rim Shield just before I...

I re-coated both vehicles today with two coats of McKee's Tire Coating. Both came out good after 2 hours of power scrubbing with a cordless drill and CG stiff bristle brush. 2015 Durango Limited 2018 Durango SSV

I purchased Sonax Rim Shield on a BOGO about a year ago and just got around to trying it last Sunday. I was previously using McKee's Hydro Blue for my wheels on a couple vehicles and recently ran out and decided to give the Sonax a try. I thoroughly cleaned the wheels and applied a coating of...

I'm using McKee's Hi-Intensity APC. You can dilute the strength as needed for interior and exterior cleaning. I mostly use it 4:1 for tires, engine bay, etc., I'll use it straight from the bottle for cleaning pads, and diluted 12:1 for more sensitive materials. McKee's 37 Hi-Intensity All...
