    Suds Lab Ceramic Spray

    Yeah this would probably be fine for wheel duty but I took it back. I have enough crap on my shelf that outperforms this by a good amount.

    Question on ceramic adherance on new car w/ Simoniz on it

    Yeah, no doubt most car dealers are slime. A few good ones but the majority are out there to empty your wallet. I've purchased 50+ cars, it's a fun game for me now. I enjoy the look on their faces when they realize I am 110% emotionally detached from the car. At times I feel sorry for them...

    Question on ceramic adherance on new car w/ Simoniz on it

    I'd be more worried about the oils left behind from 205 than the original coating. I'm not entirely convinced the majority of cars that are dealer coated have anything more than a spray sealant thrown on after their initial wash. Its funny how much Simonize coating makes it onto Ebay. $35...

    Suds Lab Ceramic Spray

    So I though this stuff looked cool, nice bottle, nice label, I should have dug into the reviews some more but I figured if it's been on the shelf at Walmart for more than a year, it has to be pretty good. Let down. Its not slick at all, in fact it doesn't feel like you put anything on the...

    Finally tried out TW Graphene

    I picked up a 94 Mustang GT late last year. Its a driver, not a museum peace, like we used to call them back in the day at the car dealership, a pinata, hit in many places, lots of paintwork, the hood was painted very hastily and has some wrinkling clear, not orange peel, but wrinkles. TW 1...

    I definitely think that is a big part of it. Very few innovative products out there, mainly new labels and graphics. Product sellers are very cautious, you don't see many direct comparisons anymore. Mike Phillips nailed it, what two decades ago, focus on results, not products. It does take a...

    Duragloss is no more on Amazon or Advance Auto?

    I ordered a smaller bottle of Uber to test out, definitely some good reviews out there, seems its pretty slick which I like. I did an ONR (vintage version not a new bottle) was the other day and wow was it grabby compared to the DG.

    Paint Chip Repair Help

    Touchup paint is an art, one that I haven't mastered yet even after, well probably three decades of messing around with it. I haven't used Dr. ColorChip though lots of people seem to like it, but I do like Langka. Honestly you can make your own Langka, its about 3/4 rubbing compound with 1/4...

    Not sure what the draw is with social media. It really seems to attract people that can't even do a Google search. I'm glad we have a decent, if small group here.

    The holy grail, by TW??? Clear coat repair

    This is too good to be true, but I still bought it. Clear coat repair. Man if it can work on those deeper scratches not quite down to the color coat.....

    I wish I could offer more, but FK425 wasn't any slicker than Optimum instant detailer, it didn't look better either. Any spray wax outlasted it. I never used it on a dirty car, so I can't comment on how it cleaned. I bought a bottle of it and tried so many times to like it. Since you have so...

    Just a quick update, I'm really liking this stuff. It is just soooo slick, I don't think there is anything else close. I had some tree sap hit the car pretty good and it literally just wiped of like it landed on a Teflon lined nonstick pan. Crazy. Looks wise, it's very reflective, not deep...

    Finally tried out TW Graphene

    Well after some more use I decided I really liked the One and Done. Napa Online has some stock still at reasonable prices, I picked up enough that it will probably go bad before I'm out of it. This stuff and a topper is all I'm going to need for a while. There is stuff that cuts faster and...

    Mini-Review RYOBI High Flow Automotive Pressure Washer

    Excellent review. My stance on pressure washers is buy the cheapest one that will do the job for you, they are disposable items, at least the electric ones are. For those of you that haven't discovered it yet, directtoolsoutlet.com is a fantastic place to get Ryobi stuff, if you wait for a...

    Finally tried out TW Graphene

    There is a good chance it was my application method however keep in mind the instructions say you need to do a wet wipe down afterwards, which I did not do. Not a big deal on a silver car but a dark colored car would have probably shown the effects more. I'm excited to wash it soon and see how...

    Finally tried out TW Graphene

    Well, like I predicted the magic pop did wash away with rain, though it wasn't instant like some other consumer products, it was pretty gradual. But what remained was a pretty slick surface. Also before it rained, I could see on the roof of the car where my orbital applicator left some trails...

    HD Polish Replacement

    I know this is going to sound funny, I even waited a few days before posting, but have you tried Turtle Wax One and Done? It finishes as good as M205 without the greasy mess, maybe better. Only catch is, if rumor is true, it has been discontinued. Its really a pleasure to work with, cuts...

    I tried how it does on fading hard plastic trim vs my favorite spray wax, OCW, and it did surprisingly well. I think that darkening effect translates into pop on less than well maintained paint.

    So I got to use this a few times, it really reminds me of FK425, not super slick when first applied, but once cured it gets nice and slick. It seems to have a balanced look. I can't say I'm head over heels after first use, but it does smell really good, like a pina colada. I got rid of FK425...

    I saw the Collinite stuff is getting some good attention, I'll have to keep an eye on it. I'm trying to stick to one new detailing product a month...why does that seem to hard??? Lol....
