    Let the stickies stay at the top. Mixing them in with posts in different colors look poor and make the page hard to look at for me.

    Coating that have stopped beading.......

    So today we had a 60 degree day in NY and I decided to take advantage of it. I had posted that my 2 opticoated 2.0 vehicles and 1 GTech EVO v2 vehicles had stopped beading like new and infact the water was sitting flat on the paint. It was recommended that I wash the coated cars with a strong...

    Analysis Paralysis

    I have 3 cars heading into the winter without optimal protection. All the cars were coated 2+ years ago. 2 with OC 2.0 and one with GTECH EXO v2. I can say these 2 coatings did their job and while they continue to protect and make washing easier, they don't bead like crazy any more. This...

    Where do I go from here....

    I had optic oat 2.0 applied to my son's Subaru in August of 2012. It has been a great coating, and very durable and easy cleaning for 2 years and month. See write up form 8/2012...

    Dealership Washed my car....:(

    Guess Do Not Wash was not clear enough? Cannot wait to see the finish in the AM. I was working late at work so I picked up my car through the showroom and as soon as I pulled up, I knew it looked too clean. A quick shot with the brinkman when I got home did not show anything bad, I hope the...

    Restoring Headlights

    My Nephew called to tell me that the headlights on his Outlander truck are getting cloudy and the mechanic told him that he passed inspection but should get those fixed or replaced. I guess they are not too bad, but bad enough? I have the M105, M205, 106, the entire Poorboys Polish line...

    You guys are alright

    I really got my start in detailing (my hobby) at Truth in Detailing. And that it where I was first exposed to Todd's unbelievable handiwork. Then we all moved here when that closed. I still remember a write up on an orange Lamborghini where he took the wheels off and I though wow, that's the...

    G Technig Giveaway Write Up

    So this weekend I decided to try the GTechnig goodies I got from Todd. Cleaned the interior and was planning on protecting the leather with the L1 by G Tech but I was not able to get the leather as clean as I wanted prior to sealing the leather. I will order some Leather cleaner and...

    Is Wax dead?

    Moved all my "sensitive" detailing stuff out of the house and back into the garage for the season. My son asked if that was my WAX. I said, I really don't have any WAX anymore. It got me to thinking that I would really never use a WAX again. I was a die hard wax guy starting with Turtle...

    The Eagle Has Landed

    Found this at home today when I returned from work…… Thanks again to Todd, Kevin and Gtechnig USA for the opportunity to try out some new Gtech Products and to Todd for sweetening the Gtech offering by adding a huge towel. Hopefully this weekend's weather cooperates and I can try and review...

    Interesting Lambo

    Saw this over the weekend at a car show I went to. The warm weather really brings out the monsters and this day was no exception. This car is wrapped and just sick to see in person. If I did not see it with my own eyes, I would swear it was a matchbox car. This car sounds like a...

    EXO v2 & OC 2.0 after a rough NY Winter

    My car has traveled close to 9,000 miles since I applied the EVO v2. I have done nothing to top up the coating other than regular 2BM washing when the temps were over 32 degrees and 1 winter wash in a texas style car wash all winter long. Just to put this NY winter in perspective we had a...

    EXO v2 Gtech

    I have taken some time off the boards mostly because I have been shoveling-LOL. Had some warm weather this past weekend 60's, got the cars washed up and they are all in pretty good condition and I am happy with the way the GTECH and Opticoat 2.0 have been wearing. My personal preference is for...

    Winter Follow up on some coatings.....

    The record amounts of snow and cold weather have really keep my quiet on the forums. Not much to report on or share as its been below freezing coincidentally every time, I have some free time. I managed one wash in the past several months at a Texas Style car wash to get off the big stuff...

    Ongoing EXO Update w/Pics

    I continue to be very happy with the EXO v2 on my DD. I just returned from a 2 day 1,250+ mile blast. Nover drove 20 hours +/- in 48 hr period. The Journey took me from Rain, to Snow and back the other way from Snow to rain :). Last few hundred miles were actually in the cold dry weather. I...
