    Optimum Gloss Coat application

    I`ve posted a little about this in the past, but my Camaro bumper was repainted a few years ago with an extremely brittle clear coat. At first I could wash it very lightly and it would take 5 washes or so until I started to see marring. Now probably 5 years later, one wash after a buff and I...

    Should I throw Meg's #16 and BFWD in the trash?

    I've had these for years, at this point I've moved on to the simplest detailing products possible, which happen to all be Optimum products by coincidence (i.e. Optiseal). I remember #16 looking fantastic on my old car, but what a PITA to use. I don't remember caring much for BFWD. What do you...
