    Old product, new use part II

    Recently, I've posted (HERE)) about using up about 1/3 of a bottle of Klasse Sealant Glaze that's been sitting on my shelf doing nothing, by diluting it to a 10% solution and spraying it on my wheels whenever I clean them. It's working really, really well. Once the wheel is clean, I just mist...

    Old product, new use

    Hi all, Thought I'd share this since I've been doing it for a few weeks now and it it seems to be working really well. I have about 1/2 bottle of Klasse Sealant Glaze that sat on the shelf for ages, since even though it's a a classic, it's ease of use leaves a bit to be desired. Anyway, I...

    What's your fav product for rubber sealant/protect/beautify?

    Just curious what the current hot products are to protect and beautify rubber/soft plastic trim and seals... My standard is Gummi Phledge. Someone on a car forum who happens to be (I believe) a hydrocarbon chemist swears by Krytox, even though it's ridiculously expensive (used to protect...

    Ready to give up on FK425 - very frustrated...

    Ok, a while back I solicited suggestions on a detail spray to try....finally used up my last gallon of 4* UGE. Based on feedback and reading lots of threads, I decided to try FK425. It's been nothing but trouble for me. Paint is BMW Monaco Blue (very dark blue), well prepped, with WolfGang...

    Meguiar DACP (#83): more or less aggressive than Meguiar Ultimate Compound?

    The subject sums up my question.... I have an almost-full bottle of DACP that, although old, seems to be fine. I haven't needed (or bought) anything more aggressive than it simply because I didn't need it. I may have that need now - in case I do, and need it in a hurry, is the Meguiar's...

    Best QD for over a sealant or wax-topped sealant?

    Hi all, Been a long while since i've posted here, and my product knowledge is most certainly not current. I'm looking for a QD to use on top of UPP. I used to use the Four Star QD spray (forget what it was called), but don't see it listed. I like the UPP combo when I used it because it gave...

    Good "starter" car to show

    Ok, don't know if I really have the $$ to get into this, but I'm curious after attending a local Concours event. Obviously, I'm never going to own a vintage Ferrari 275GTB. So what would be a good car for a person to "get their feet wet" with events? Something not too terribly expensive...
