    Kamikaze Infinity Wax

    Dunno if it`s the color, the design of the body panels (maybe their angles aid in shedding water) or the product(s) but this car just always looks great no matter what it`s put through. Walking by, this particular area always just shows off the color and gloss...stops me every time:

    Feynlab Ceramic

    Feynlab Ceramic – Not even sure how I ran across this one, I believe I was browsing thru their self-healing coating offerings and, given the price and the limited info I could find regarding it, decided to order it up and give it a try. At around $60 for a 30ml bottle, the cost certainly piqued...

    Kamikaze Stance Rim Coat

    ...and I venture a bit further down the Kamikaze rabbit hole. Having used the other Kamikaze products with great results (Miyabi, ISM, Infinity Wax, Overcoat), I was looking forward to trying Stance Rim Coat and the opportunity recently presented itself with a set of wheels on a new car. While...

    Monroney Sticker removal...

    How do ya get the window sticker off intact on a new car? Soak it with water and then peel? Doesn`t seem to like being peeled dry...

    Feynlab Ceramic...

    Uh oh...couldn`t sleep so started wandering around the various forums, ran across the Feynlab Self Healing coatings...but cannot purchase unless certified. However, their Feynlab Ceramic is avaliable to hacks like me so I ordered up a kit (Wash, Prime, Ceramic & Detail). Anybody use this...

    Kamikaze Infinity Wax

    Well, in for a penny, in for a pound as they say. Have been wanting to add the Kamikaze Infinity Wax to our Miyabi + ISM + Overcoat coated car(s) because, well…just because I could. In all honesty, wasn’t expecting anything truly earth shattering from it (tough to beat the Miyabi & ISM &...

    Distressed wood finishing...

    Much as I`d just like to coat `em with 22ple or similar, probably best to polyurethane `em for use outdoors. Questions are: 1. How to clean without `un-distressing` them prior to finishing? 2. Will a non-gloss polyurethane protect them best for sitting outside all summer or would something else...

    Polishing off coating...

    Whaddya suppose it`s gonna take to remove what`s left of Spring 2016 Wolfgang Uber Ceramic? I think winter took care of it from beltline down on sides of car but hood/roof/trunk still bead/sheet nicely (maybe due to Bathe+/Wet Coat/Overcoat). Menz 3500, 2400 even? Sonax Perfect Finish? Rupes...

    PA High Gloss....

    Was the hot ticket item when released last year, curious as to thoughts from those who have continued to use regularly. Has durability/appearance over the months held up or is it kinda considered a `beauty item` with short-term occasional benefits? Used it last year for a short window before...

    Is he still the local Rupes support guy (or was he ever, for that matter? Sent him a PM...wonder if he reads regularly? Question about me Bigfoot...

    Gyeon Booster...anyone tried it?

    Thinking of maybe giving this a go over the top of CquartzUK or McKees Paint Coating. Product blurb says it increases the `self-cleaning` abilities of a coating. Curiosity is getting the better of me... Seems like perhaps the pro-only Gyeon offering of their Durabead product (Gyeon Q2 MOHS +...

    Gtechniq CSL seems to like the cold...

    Interesting; was not aware CSL was OK to apply at lower temps...so they say. Guess I`ll find out this weekend...

    Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light & Temperature

    The docs from the Gtechniq site indicate a `cooler` window for CSL application. Anyone ever try it at the lower temp range? Can find me indoor place at around 50F...wondering if that`s enough?

    Kamikaze Beast Backing Plate: LHR15 Mk 2

    Hopefully OK to post non-ACC item. To put it all in context: - Garage Hobbyist using LHR15 Mark 2 - Only about 20 or so hours with machine so operator competency likely hovering around `marginally functional` Anyway, best way to describe it is: Smoooooooth. And it likely makes up a bit for...

    FLEX, M101 vs. Rupes, FCC

    Hi Dave, Got a chance to run this comparison yesterday. Tried to take pics but didn`t get any that showed anything worthwhile. Flex 3401 w/ gray LC Force cutting pad, speed 5, 4 passes. Rupes LHR15 Mk 2 with Kamikaze Beast backing plate, GG FCC, white Fast Correcting foam pad, speed 4.5, 6...

    What coating to try next...

    Kinda spending the off season trying coatings I haven`t yet used to figure out a `favorite` for use this summer. With a fleet of work vans/Ford Rangers from 2008 thru 2016 I have a variety of conditions from `toast` to `just needs light polish`. Nice to use these as test vehicles as I see them...

    B & S Uro-Cell pads...

    Not sure if i just never noticed before but PBMG is promoting the Buff and Shine Uro-Cell pads, I`m guessing their equivalent to the Lake Country HydroTech (affectionately known to some as Hydro-Shreds) pads. Although *maybe* new to PBMG, these have been out a while from other vendors (I think)...

    Cquartz UK...because, well, why not?

    Picked out my next `victim` to keep me entertained during the winter when I can`t do anything at home. 2016 Ford Transit, bright red...only 24K relatively easy miles. Since I snatched up some CQuartz UK at 25% off last week, figr`d I would give it a try on this, probably get the warehouse up...

    Why do I live in the Northeast?

    My parents met in San Diego in the early 1960`s...and moved to Cleveland ON PURPOSE. Nice choice. Usual 30 minute drive to work took 2hr 30 minutes today.

    First date with The Beast, aka Flex 3401 VRG

    Umm, "wow" pretty much sums it up. Kinda went into a polisher buying frenzy when AG had discounted gift certs last month. Have been using GG6 for last year but wanted to try something new so snatched up a LHR15 Mark 2, Rupes LHR75 Mini. Still had some $$ left over so figrd I see what all the...
