    Anyone try 22PLE Rebellion coating?

    As the title asks, anyone have any experience or even hearsay on this? It’s new. I’m intrigued because I like the shorter-term coatings (this says 18-24 months) and have not yet tried 22PLE but have wanted to. I have a number of coatings (and lites) to use up and should really not hold on to...

    Mini-test: SiO2 Sealant comparison (hood)

    Hi all! I haven’t posted much this year, spent the first half looking for and purchasing and updating a new home. But I have been maintaining my vehicles. And I’ve done some small comparison tests since early spring, for my own knowledge since I haven’t had time to type or take pics. The one...

    Unopened Coating shelf life

    Is there a “standard” or even an observed (by you members) shelf life for 30ml / 50ml coating bottles that are stored in ideal conditions (out of sunlight, 65-75degF temperatures)? I rarely see any info from manufacturers on this topic other than maybe Gyeon. I think CQ UK can go 2 years... is...

    Do you coat or dress both sides of tires?

    The question is more for tire coatings due to having to scrub and clean. And due to the longer durability. But wouldn’t mind hearing if anyone uses dressings on the hidden sides of the tires. I’m about to get scrubbing on my winter tires (brand new last November and I didn’t apply anything...

    Megs Hyper-Wash dilution

    I know I’ve heard different advice about dilution, but I don’t understand why Meguiar’s lists the dilution ratio as 1:400 and yet instructs one ounce be added per 5 gallons (640oz) of water. I understand estimating or rounding, but these ratios are not even close. What are your preferred...

    SiO2 Ceramic Spray Sealant comparison test

    I figured “why not?” after correcting the X5 M. Roof was coated, polished with WG Finishing Glaze, then wiped with Kleen-Strip Prep-All a few times for prep, then CarPro Essence with Gloss Pads.. The two coats of applications for each product occurred on 6/10/20 and 6/11/20. Front Roof - The...

    Do you wash used wash mitts another other dirty MFs?

    I always have included wash mitts in my regular paint-dirty load. But thinking about switching up. I’ve been traditional washing a lot and I’m getting sick of trying to get the suds out of the mitts prior to washing (I do this more to prevent towels from getting old soap in them during the...

    Ceramic Paste Wax Showdown / Test

    First off, let me say this: Ceramic Waxes are my favorite type of LSP due to the protection, longevity, number of applications per jar, unique look/gloss, nostalgia of application and ease of removal. Additionally, they don`t expire in a year or two like many coatings and SiO2 sprays. I...

    Review: TW Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wash and Wax

    I just used HS Ceramic Wash and Wax today on my wife’s car that has CanCoat. The CanCoat is still doing fine, but not quite as shiny or as self-cleaning as day 1 (Christmas time). Temperature was around 60 but washed in shade. Directions require large amounts (6oz per 2gallons!), it comes in...

    Ceramic QD Face-Off

    On 02/17/2020 I polished and prepped the 3 horizontal panels on the Acura TSX (hood, roof, trunk lid) to do a short duration comparison to get an approximate idea of longevity of some of the new ceramic QDs (compared against older in some cases). Each QD will cure 24 hours. They were applied...
