    Review: Polish Angel High Gloss Paste Wax

    Polish Angel High Gloss Paste Wax...this stuff is just nutty. Soooooo reflective. Usually cell phone pics look better than reality but in this case pics can`t capture it. Every hard corner of a panel was shooting blinding, high def starbursts in the sun. It`s on top of Kamikaze Miyabi + Zipang...

    A little fun with SPS Graphene Detailer...

    This van was originally coated w/ Gtechniq CSL in January of 2017; after coating it was topped with Gtechniq C2V3. The self cleaning aspects of that combo were pretty poor, every time it rained it left (easily removed with wash) water spotting. It started keeping itself cleaner of its own accord...

The thoughts below are what I *think* but have no firm foundation behind them aside from my personal experiences. That is to say, don’t take my word for anything but rather read, research and...

    Think I`m done messing around with coatings, final thoughts...

    I heard a brief mention of the 3D kit, figure it will be something akin to Blackfire or McKees coating but whatever it it, if`n it`s from 3D/HD it`ll probably be extremely easy to use and priced nicely. Looks to be about $65 for 50ml but I see no mention of longevity `guesses`. Appears to be...

    Timber!!!

    Fascinating to watch the climbers work; the way they use ropes, friction knots and such to keep things moving all while dangling 150ft off the ground.

    Matte Black on Jeep Hood?

    Neighbor came by, wanted something to protect for upcoming winter. I`m not wanting to have much to do with it, was just gonna give him some CanCoat or FK1000P and let him have at it...until I noticed the hood and the matte black insert. Thought CanCoat would be nice cuz it`s so easy and could do...
