Which Would You Choose...Time To Splurge A Little

invalid@example.com (boredstudent3) — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 03:34:22 +0000

If you had a choice, which of these would you pick? I wanted to create a poll to ask the community but I can't do that.

Take into consideration all these factors:

durability
price ($ per oz)
refillable option, free refill, etc.
'wow' factor of container
uniqueness of wax
anything else you want to consider, etc.

I am not looking for the 'best bang for the buck wax' as that has been covered by other threads. The prices listed vary over several sources but...

Sealants Comparison Help

invalid@example.com (Jimmy) — Mon, 13 Jan 2020 18:29:47 +0000

Good evening guys,

I currently received some of these items through the mystery box and was wondering if anyone had any experience dealing with these sealants.

The sealants I would like to compare are:

Nanolex SiFinish
Fictech Car Gliss
CarPro Reload

Additionally, since Fictech Car Gliss is a ceramic-based coating, does that mean that I would have to dispose of the microfiber towel after application.

I do also have Fictech One. If I do the Fictech system, would I apply Fictech One...

Dealership Stickers

invalid@example.com (mbalicars) — Sat, 10 Aug 2019 20:03:11 +0000

hey guys, yesterday I was doing some minor work on a customer's car. He wanted me to remove those annoying dealership stickers that get put on cars when they are sold. Most people would try the heat gun and quickly peel it off. I for one do not have one. I feel my technique was safer for the paint and more effective with the removal. I simply used a steam blaster with a microfiber cloth on the tip so I can safely scrub the bumper. this removed the whole dealership sticker within seconds....

To-do, Or Not To-do: Hydrosilex-Recharge (again)?

invalid@example.com (Lance.D.PA) — Sun, 07 Oct 2018 00:17:52 +0000

My experiences with Hydrosilex-Recharge:

- Like the shine it produces

- Repels daily-driving grime (optional: wash less often)

- Less road-dirt adheres to surfaces

- Removes water-residue after washing

- Does not smear on glass

- Repeated applications/layers do fill-in swirl-marks and imperfections

- Personal-preference: I spritz with Recharge after each wash

- Important to me: Good value for the quantity...

Sealant/Glaze on top of Coating

invalid@example.com (Zatrekaz) — Tue, 22 May 2018 13:27:18 +0000

I currently have a very new (less than a month) coating of Gtechniq EXO V3 on the car... I have a show coming up and I am wondering what everyone would suggest in terms of a topper to make it pop a bit more for the show.

Sealant?
Regular Paste Wax?
Glaze?

Just wondering if anyone has experience with this.

HydroSilex Recharge

We received the HydroSilex Recharge a little while ago and all I can say is it's incredible! If you are looking for a super easy and quick way to get your car protected this is what I feel is the best way to do it.

Wolfs Glass guard lifespan? Trying to replace with Nanolex

invalid@example.com (jmeyer2) — Sat, 09 Dec 2017 18:27:12 +0000

Does anyone know the life span of Wolfs Glass guard? It working fine on some surfaces but has lost its touch on others.

I am also looking to replace with nanolex glass sealant this time around but dont know if that is possible without removing the Wolfs. Any thoughts on if that is possible / how to do it since that are both nano products? Just a clay / polish?

Thanks!

Details. Glass Guard applied about 4 year ago but not on a daily driver. Only about 15,000 miles since application.

CARPRO RELOAD ONTOP NANOLEX COATING

Hi

I was wondering if I could layer Carpro Reload over Nanolex Si3D?

Nanolex Shield

invalid@example.com (JSF721) — Wed, 12 Jul 2017 00:43:06 +0000

I purchased the Nanolex on Phil's recommendation last April/May. I applied to my wife DD a 2009 Acura MDX in pearl white. It is in Mint shape and after a one step polish, it was onto the coating.

I really liked the look of the Shield and it was super easy to apply. Main difference between this and all the other coatings I have used it that you apply the hood, let settle and wipe high spots, and then immediately apply 2nd coat to the hood. No big deal, just different,

It looks great on,...

invalid@example.com (hamlyn) — Thu, 11 May 2017 18:45:37 +0000

What coatings do you recommend for your wheels and exhaust tips? I have chrome as well as clear coated aluminum wheels. Would GTech C5 or Exo work?

Thanks

Wax/Sealant/Coating

invalid@example.com (Joseph Rogers) — Thu, 11 May 2017 18:41:20 +0000

Can someone explain the difference between the three, and when I should use one over the other? This is a new concept for me...I grew up waxing the family vehicles once a year, and that was all that was available... <_<

Coat on top of clearbra?

invalid@example.com (LandShark1) — Thu, 11 May 2017 18:39:28 +0000

I'm wondering if it's ok to Opti Gloss Coat on top of the clearbra? Or it's better just to use sealant/wax on top of it instead?

Also, could one lightly polish the clearbra? Like using the Sonax 4/6 with a green uber pad?

Thanks in advance guys.

I have used the polymer net shield, but was hoping it would last longer. Are there any better products to try out now, i used the net shield when it first came out. Looking for something easy to apply. Can be a wax also.
