    JHL88 got a reaction from CMDChase in Undercarriage spray.. Disappointed.   
    For wheel wells I use VRT diluted with water or "vrt milk" as some call it.  It lasts A LOT longer IMO and keeps it looking dark.  I only use UC spray for underneath the car (Differential, suspension parts etc.)

    JHL88 reacted to meltd0wn in 2012 PB Focus ST Very First Detail   
    I am extremely happy with.  I went through 2 new cars to settle on this car.  I had a 2011 FJ cruiser in hornet yellow (i miss that car still) and a 2012 Toyota ruckus (scion XB).  The focus is everything i wanted.  I was told once that if you leave a car parked and don't look back at least once the car means nothing to you.  Well this car i always without meaning too always look back.  Everything is amazing on this car and what it comes with standard in Australia is well worth the money.  For a 2 litre turbo this car goes like stink and wife loves it almost as much as i do.
     
    I hate my driveway as you can see in a couple of the shots, i would love to have a flat undercover surface to wash and detail but alas it will have to be in my next house.

    If PFP on a finishing pad doesn't work, Instead of upgrading to the PCP, I would use the PFP on a orange pad and see where that gets you.

    When I get my buckets from Adams, I will switch one of the Gamma Seal Lid from Red to Black.
     
    I will use the RED one for WASH, and the BLACK for RINSE.

    That happened to me when i applied glass sealant and it started to drizzle and i used my windshield wipers.  It also happens when you don't buff it off good enough.  I recommend using a waffle weave towel for the initial wipe followed by glass towel

    Do you have the swirl & haze remover hand applicator?  Try using that w/ old SHR or PCP.  Followed by Revive & the corresponding applicator.  It may take some time but its accomplishable.  
     
    By all means if you think the 4in. focus pad on the PC can fit under the handles that would be ideal but I haven't tried that myself so I wouldn't know.

    Gotta ton of j's i've been collecting, few lebron's, answer 4's, etc.  Picked up my Ray Allen 13's and my ice blue x's and called it a day.  Last purchases before I picked up my gtr.  Most of my play money goes towards the car now, lol.  Too bad their not size 10's i'd probably copped them bred 4's since mine been cracking for a bit now, my old cdp's.

    JHL88 reacted to SYMAWD in Total Interior Detailer   
    I still have mixed feelings on this product.  It leaves the interior smelling fresh and does a good job at removing light to moderate dirt and light stains.  It's the "dressing" part of it that I don't care for a whole lot.  It doesn't leave the surface dark enough to look like you did something to your interior and it doesn't apply very evenly on smooth surfaces which my Optima has a lot of.  It leaves the turn signal and wiper stalks not perfectly even and the whole lower dash somewhat streaky, but as you can see in the pics below it can be evened out, it just takes a lot of effort on smooth surfaces.  I like it best for textured plastics and leather.  On vinyl it wasn't perfectly even either without some effort.  
     
    Here is a pic showing the difference between TID and a dedicated dressing that I use.  As you can see, TID on the left, left streaks on the smooth plastic when just wiped over the surface and the dressing on the right left it much darker and did not leave streaks on the right side when just wiped over the surface.

     
    Now here is what TID only looks like, but it takes too much effort IMO to make it look nice.  I'd rather clean with LIC and then finish with a normal dressing.




     
    For me, TID is a great light cleaner and odor neutralizer but just a half-baked dressing.  I'd prefer TID without the dressing aspect because then it would make a great cleaner without having to put in the effort of evening it out.

    Disclaimer before next statement - not meant to offend anyone - personal experience.
     
    I will never buy a Kia as long as I live.  That said, its not because I don't like the cars, or they aren't reliable, ect. - I won't buy one on principal.  I had not one, not two, but THREE terrible experiences at THREE different Kia dealerships.  All I wanted to do was test drive a Optima. That's it, test drive a car (while car hunting before I ended up with my ST). Every freaking dealership told me I needed to make an appointment to drive one.  Sorry Kia keep your optima, if you want my money you need to let me drive the car, and I'm not going to go out of my way and schedule time to be able to test drive your car.   On top of this, two of the three dealerships wouldn't even talk to me without a appointment.  Seriously who do they think they are Ferrari? This experience itself will prevent me from ever giving Kia a dollar of my money, it's a shame too because I really like some of their models.<End Rant>
