These past two weeks I have continued to `up` my product game. Some of which are fantastic, some are nothing special, and all are smelly.
CarPro Trix and IronX decon kit from AG:
Impressions: I could smell the solutions when I picked up the shipping box from the front door, the smell became unbearable when I unpacked them. Guys, these decon products are very serious/caustic. I only applied it to one fender today (the neighbor is having construction done, not competing with constant dust), and the IronX worked fantastically, I have yet to try the TarX. The directions say to use the product in a well ventilated area, I don`t know about you guys, but when I do the entire car, I will be wearing a respirator. Gloves, I used my wrist lengths, next time I will be stepping up to my mid-arm length gloves. Leg coverings, I was a bit weary with this, however I lightly spritzed and stood somewhat away from the car. Eye protection, if you guys aren`t wearing chem goggles, you are complete fools.
Wolfgang Paint Work Polish Enhancer:
I bought this product for doing very light polishing and physical removal of sealants. I initially hit the fender with a green LC CCS pad (light cut) and this Wolfgang polish, I was disappointed as this created a buffer haze. I then brought the pad cut down to a black LC CCS pad (polishing), and my newly installed buffer haze became less apparent, but a trained eye could still see super light holograms. And yes I IPA`d after each application of polish. Luckily I have no fear, as I have a hope in the white LC CCS pad, Meg`s m205, and light pressure combo. For sealant removal, I`m just going to stick with m205 as a product and adjust the media. IPA wipedown showed pretty excellent finish, for a 145K mile car with a bit of road rash on the fender. Smell is like an oily rain-x.
Poorboy`s Blackhole Glaze:
Smell, terrific. Application, blue LC CCS pad, terrific. Performance, exactly what I was looking for. Price, excellent. I am very pleased with this product.
Poorboy`s EX-P Sealant:
Smell, terrific. Application, a little bit tougher to apply compared to FK1000P, then again one is a liquid and one is a waxish, I would also use less FK1000P per given area compared to the EX-P. Price, I admire it. Performance, I haven`t had too much time to get lost in the shine, but it looks like it has more depth than FK1000P, Blackhole is adding to the depth.
LC System 3000 Deluxe Pad Cleaner:
The only reason I purchased this is because it was open box, and $120 out the door. At first I was a bit skeptical, but when I started to clean my pads and see significant results, I changed my mind. This is a good buy, and for those that are using forced rotation polishers, I am really jealous because your pads will be cleaner compared to a non-forced rotation polisher. Oh, and the smell, well it`s plastic...
I wish I had pics, but I only had about an hour and a half to play around all the new toys.
