    Car Shampoo for ceramic coating?

    LOL! Yep, I know many hate Chemical Guys, and a lot of their stuff is overpriced and not as good as many alternatives, but I do like that soap. Nothing else in my shop from CG, aside from a bottle of the worst-smelling cherry spray I've ever had! That stuff smells like the urinal cakes at a...

    The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    I dunno just yet! I am liking it debadged too, and not having them on makes it much easier to keep the truck clean where it used to be. Not sure why GM decided that they had to be so damned thick, it was impossible to get all the crap that got stuck in between the letters! Did a black chrome...

    '22 2500HD High Country, a couple months old: http://kolohe.net/art/2500hd.jpg Just finished CQuartz UK 3.0 on Tuesday, de-badged and ready for ceramic detail spray!

    Car Shampoo for ceramic coating?

    I too am late to the party, and after going through 6 pages, nobody's mentioned the one product I've been using for about 4 years now on my Cquartz coated vehicle, CG's Carbon Flex Vitalize wash. A little goes a long way, smells decent, foams well through cannon, works well with bucket washing...

    Best easy to use Topper

    Been using Technician's Choice TEC582 Ceramic Detail Spray for about a year now, and for 5 gallons, its pretty economical and works extremely well. I'd say better than Reload, there's almost no streaking at all and the slickness is as good or better. I use it on everything around here! RV's...

    rejuvinating dashboard, what can I use at this point?

    Ya know, I don't have any pics of the latest build, but here's some shots of the car from '19, she looks exactly the same: Waiting for winter to go away so I can pull her out of the back of the garage and get started detailing. Lots of paint correction will be needed to make her looking...

    rejuvinating dashboard, what can I use at this point?

    Wow! It has been a REALLY long time since I updated this thread!!! Just thought I'd follow up 3 years later, lol!!!!! The dash still looks perfect after the cleaning I did, and all I've been using on it is Meg's vinyl/leather conditioner over the last few years, its kept it perfectly clean and...

    Clay a ceramic coating?

    Thanks for all the replies! I really don't have much choice but to clay bar it to get rid of the overspray, I guess I'll just make sure to have more CQuartz on-hand to re-apply afterwards if I notice the coating has been removed. I assume it will be pretty evident that its been removed after...

    Clay a ceramic coating?

    Sort of another hijack for this thread, sorry guys! CQuartz installed on my 4Runner last year, had someone hit my bumper lately and took it to the bodyshop to get repaired. Got the runner back but noticed the vehicle has a light dusting of paint or whatever else was airborne in the bodyshop. It...

    rejuvinating dashboard, what can I use at this point?

    SUCCESS!!!!! So I had a break from real work today, decided to screw with the dash for an hour. I really felt it needed a really good, deep down cleaning, so I grabbed some Meg's APC, diluted it around 5:1, then drenched the dashboard with the stuff, wiping the drips with a mf cloth, then...

    rejuvinating dashboard, what can I use at this point?

    Yep! That was the whole point of putting the 1UZ in it, including the 5 speed transmission the car came with. I'll be honest, it would have been a ridiculously simple swap if I went with a GM or Ford engine, and way cheaper too, but I just couldn't stand the idea of having not-toyota in the car...

    rejuvinating dashboard, what can I use at this point?

    Hmmm, maybe! LOL! How about a pic of the engine going in it? Chris

    rejuvinating dashboard, what can I use at this point?

    Wow! That's definitely unorthodox alright! I'll try the other solutions first, and if nothing brings the shine back, I may just go ahead and pull the whole dash out (its practically there now with the wiring I'm doing for the new engine), strip the whole thing down, then shoot it with SEM...

    rejuvinating dashboard, what can I use at this point?

    I agree, they really shouldn't sit, I try to drive the truck at least a few times a month, although with me working 7 days a week most weeks, there's just no time to really enjoy my vehicles much. Here's the truck: As for the supra, it looks like a disaster right now, there's literally wires...

    rejuvinating dashboard, what can I use at this point?

    Well, I've tried a few out-of-the-box items so far, this one surely can't make it any worse! I think I have some of that creme in the house, off to search for it now. Thanks!

    rejuvinating dashboard, what can I use at this point?

    Thanks for the quick reply! Its garage queen #2! The car has only 125k on the odometer, and is really just a play car for me. After blowing up the turbo 6mge engine (yes, from Japan, not the original 5mge it came with), I've thrown in a Lexus V8 engine in it and just finalizing the wiring at...

    rejuvinating dashboard, what can I use at this point?

    Hi all, New member, but have been a lurker for years now! Here's my dilemma, I'll be honest, I've neglected the dashboard in my '85 Toyota Supra for years. Although its had a car cover on the car and placed in an enclosed garage (that's heated and cooled throughout the year) and not driven at...
