It is a matter of that was all that we could source at the time.

These are actually great for shorter bottles like spray ceramic...

I use the wash and wax just cause it smells so good...

For me it was the Microfiber cleaner that escaped... My new APC comes straight out the spray nozzle sitting on the shelf. Little neon green clumps all over the place.

I thought this was going to be about the new regular sprayer... The ones I've gotten on the last two orders have a shorter pick up tube that doesn't reach the bottom of a regular bottle and the top flops around even when the cap is on tight. For us OCD folks that have keyed all of our sprayers to face one way in relation to the label it's a pain.

I've also given up on the small sprayers... Had two clog within about 4 pumps of ceramic spray coating. The new Graphene Spray uses the regular sprayer so that's awesome.

Well.... My delivery just went from "out for delivery" to "no delivery scheduled".

I'm guessing the FedEx truck smells really good.

The truck is nice but I love the other SS in that reflection!

heckuva hair cut

It's not the cut part that costs...

Watching that vid reminded me of one of the most deflating details I've ever done. We went to a picnic with my wife's friend/hair dresser. She drove a black 4Runner that was all destroyed. White paint scuffs from getting too close to the garage door etc. Because my wife loves me and knows how much I enjoy fixing disasters she offered up my services in trade for a cut and color... I  spent 8 hours getting that thing mint which was a total pain because it had at least three different paints that all took completely different combinations to get good results. All the swirls, scratches, and scuffs came out. It was beautiful. When they came to pick it up the ONLY thing they talked about was how good the plastics looked on the running boards. Even when my wife went to get her hair done that was all that she heard about. So moral of the story, the trim really makes an impression.

Can't wait to see this end as a happy story. Good Luck DanIDT.

changing detail spray

I missed that one completely so can't compare it...

Has anyone gotten their detail spray yet?

It's supposed to smell fruity... I bought this release and the midnight release. That one smells like cologne. This one smells like... a fruity cologne.

My wife picked something like this up for her makeup brushes. It's brilliant. Unfortunately it doesn't work for my brushes... Anybody seen anything like this for detail size brushes? Doesn't look too hard to engineer but don't want to reinvent the wheel...

Could probably be a tactic to wow my customers

Absolutely. Especially since it proves that you did your job. Can't wait to hear the feedback on the coatings.

It's never finished... just stop at some point and move on the next step... and there is always a next step... and then back to the start.

That's one gorgeous Camaro. Keep sharing the journey.

I thought with the ceramic coat the waterspots would come right off?

I'll let the experts go into more detail on how to fix this but water spotting is actually common with ceramic coatings...

The new blue foam pad is definitely more coarse

Thank you sir! I don't remember ever seeing the blue waffle pads. Good to know how these new ones compare.

Not sure I understand your question

We didn't have blue pads before, unless you count the layer under the microfiber... Orange, White, Black, and Red. Just wondering how the blue compares to orange.

$67.49 with discount. My total wasn't pretty either but it's all stuff that's either new or I'd be been holding off getting.

FINALLY got a blanket..

combo of Compound and the blue foam pad 

OK... I've got the Compound with the SK Micro kit but I only have the 1.5" pads.... How do the blue pads line up with the old pads?

You can minimize those, but you're not going to get them out.  Best thing you may be able to do is just to treat them well with Leather Conditioner or with the new Interior Protection Paste.    Saw a post on FB  a while back where a guy used steam to stretch his seat covers as much as he could, but they he bought leather paint to fill in the cracks/wrinkles. Never heard of this stuff so I can't say why you would use paint on your leather, but the results were pretty good to look at.  My opinion is that by putting a paint on fabric, at some point in the future that stuff is going to dry out and start flaking off. I would just start a good moisturizing routine for your seats.  And maybe put a towel down when the dog is in there.  

Other than King Ranch or ridiculously expensive sports cars all auto leather is, for lack of a better term, painted. If the surface is prepped correctly the paint won't flake off. AMMO did a video of a complete color change interior that lays out the extreme scenario.

There are also a few companies that sell new skins for the seats. From what I've seen it's quicker if you are handy with tools.
