There’s so many great coatings out there these days that it really all boils down to personal preference. With great polishing/prep one would be hard pressed to notice a difference in appearance on identical cars lined up next to each other. Feynlab was one that looked a bit brighter, kind of...

Do not doubt the power & economy generated by the Turbonator! A mere $17.99 will net you unholy power and fuel efficiency that would make even the most rigorous hyper-miler envious. Buncha skeptics around here… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Nothing much from where I'm sitting. In general, ease of use has improved considerably for most coatings. Somewhat optimistic claims still prevalent on many new releases..."Simulated results..."

If you'd like to try Over Coat I've got around 1/2 a bottle of the latest 5.2 version in my cabinet that I won't be using (Winter has arrived and don't think I'll be washing for quite a while!). PM me your address and I'll ship it to you at no cost to you...and who knows, a pack of those glass...

I’ve only used the machines very briefly, most noticeable was smoothness. I asked the guys who use them all day, every day and their preference is the corded Rupes Mark V. Smooth, quiet and consistent power were the primary reasons mentioned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I went through a High Gloss phase a few years ago, quite enjoyed it and thought it was very pleasing. Despite my desire *not* to like it, I’m currently a bit taken by POLISHANGEL’s Cosmic Spritz 2.0 after getting a hold of some to try. It seems a bit ‘richer’ in appearance than previous Cosmic...

I wouldn’t worry about any infinitesimal amount of graphene pixie dust causing any dangerous reaction as the base chemistry of graphene ceramics and otherwise ‘plain’ ceramic products is allegedly pretty much the same. What I *would* be worried about is the possibility of an unholy mess being...

Got a chance to play with one of these today. Definitely not a necessity but sure would be a convenient luxury! Light, surprisingly powerful and smaller than it looks, it was a treat. A little pricey though [emoji53] https://youtu.be/peWhvD3HoMs?si=M0yLnKSFnGFu3W2Z Sent from my iPhone using...

7 hours in 90+ heat & humidity was a bit tiring but bonus points for Bubba’s Shave Ice truck being only 50 ft from us [emoji846] Blue Torino probably my favorite of the day: Super clean GTO: Nice to see the old school stuff [emoji41] Edit: “Vettes, Rods & Classics”...

Every year a local collector puts on a big show to raise money for the regional Make-A-Wish charity. As primary sponsors, we are often tasked with driving cars from their garage to the show. Quite the parade each trip… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

A pair of these things showed up today… Interesting I guess [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Kinda interesting to see costs per car, $34k a month for the collection (generally about 1% per year of cars value) [emoji848] https://youtu.be/ZuuYYQ0SBfY

Well, didn`t get to see it in the shop; picked it up during yesterday`s Columbus C & C they were hosting where it was parked out front when we got there. In the end, passenger side fender, hood and front end resprayed, gouge in rocker touched up, few misc chips on roof and doors touched up...

An air freshener that smells like CarPro Eraser? I had to have it!

Well, so much for “I ain’t buying any more stuff just outta curiosity” but the Siren Song of a fluorine product was just too tempting; I didn’t end up shipwrecked though so that’s a plus. I kinda dig products with fluorine as the water behavior is quite entertaining; always enjoyed Gyeon...

And wasting no time doing it: https://youtu.be/NI25U9bq9DA Snow, rain, Taco Bell trips at 2am...they certainly do use the cars. [emoji33]

Looks like Winter will be a fine time to correct some issues w/ the paint and add some protection. When I bought this car as a CPO in August 2019 ( https://budgetplan1.wordpress.com/something-wicked-this-way-comes/ ) it was bit of a a departure for me in that I’ve always been a V8 kinda...

Kinda Cured Coatings Leftover Gloss Shop Titan and NV Nova Evo. Somewhat different outcomes after a week. The Titan (left) is kinda a soft, styrofoam-ish consistency, crumbled when I tried to pop it outta the little plastic cup it was in. The Evo (right) popped out nicely and has the feel of...

Ah, a new gaggle of 350gsm Lavender goodness.

Unfortunately it`s that time of year here in NE Ohio...clean up the fun stuff and put it away until next Spring. Washed her C7 and the Cayman one last time, then into the garage, hook up the battery tenders and take a break from it all for a few months. Looking back on keeping her car...
