The paint and the wheels both have a base of Megs HCW and for whatever reason the paint doesn't like WW but the wheels do
I have tried more product, less product, different towels, wetter paint, dryer paint, etc and I get haze and stuff that I have to wipe way too hard to clear
OCW goes on like it always has and leaves a flawless finish with minimal effort
And to make things weirder, my Tacoma loves WW layered over 3D Poxy, although OCW works awesome as well
Go figure
:dunno:

Don't know if this counts, but I had to do a stock count on the small range of car care products we sell at work, before they put them on sale. Anyone heard of the Formula 1 brand, nobody at work has even tried it, and in the 3 months I've been there, nobody has ever ordered any.

I seem to remember Formula 1 being a brand typically sold and used through car dealers.

This is a great example for "try it yourself" as I've had nothing but a great experience with TWHS Wet Wax, I'm on my 4th bottle and have zero issues with it on my paint

Did a wash yesterday with PBW Strip Down and Reset. Today I did a follow up wash with Reset and used Strip Down one more time. The paint had no protection left. I used BH Cleanser Fluid as my panel wipe to ensure nothing was left from the wash. I then used Griot's 3 in 1. Forgot how nice this stuff is. I'll likely put a second coat on this weekend. Griot's 3 in 1 gives a nice deep glossy look.

Been wanting to try this with gyeon wax on top. Thinking it will be a great combo.

I wonder if he drinks it straight up or with a mixer like tonic water...
Since it's so fruity smelling he probably puts a little umbrella in his glass and a wedge of pineapple
All things considered, I think it's one of the best on the market, especially considering the price.

That seems to be the overwhelming consensus of opinion
I am looking forward to trying it

You mean the one you rented to store your products and just happened to have spaces for you to sleep and eat?

Got my IK Foamer 12 in today and Ammo Frothe and Hydrate the other day. I’m not sold on Frothe or Hydrate yet, more so Hydrate. It just doesn’t seem to go on smoothly trying a few different towels. And in the light of a parking lot light tonight, I saw streaking, which is what I saw when I was wiping with Hydrate. But it was only my first time so I’ll have to play with it more. Had to run in for a meeting so didn’t get a picture of the final result. Used the Milwaukee M12 Inflator and it worked well other than turning off after a few minutes. I used it to pressurize the IK Foamer 12 to 35 psi and I just topped it off 3 times. Need to get a little holder for the inflator to hang off the IK Foamer and it will be good.

I wonder what upgrades, besides being able to pump it up with comp air, they made to it? I'm assuming my cordless Ryobi air compressor would work on the Foam 12Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk
