    Using a gas lawn blower

    I do not own a Metro blaster but I do know that they are well liked by the one that use own and use them. To say they work better would be a slight exaggeration. They do have some benefit (high HP in a very compact design) I personally have a Stihl 2 stroke backpack blower (for big jobs), a...

    tilted bed

    HaHaHa.... the "Raptor Lean". I do have to say that I feel somewhat "pimp" driving down the road. I guess now I have a legitimate reason!

    Using a gas lawn blower

    Only thing to remember is the better the wax/sealant on your truck, the more effective forced air drying is. It can be a very frustrating experience if you don't have a "slick as a baby's behind" paint, but what a joy to see those beads shed off if you do!. I personally use a combination of...

    Foamer question

    Well said! A wash and wax product, same as gloss enhancer spray wax are just "boosters" to the original LSP you put down. Actually to be technical about it, they are not waxes but hybrid sealant or full synthetic sealants. I do agree that we should support our forum sponsors, and wish that I...

    Foamer question

    Your question is better answered by another question/answer. What kind of shampoo are you planning on using?? If you are using a low quality car soap, you will have to use a small dilution ratio because the lubricity of the soap is not adequate enough to protect your paint. If you are using a...

    Caring for Paint Treated with Opti-Coat Pro

    I'll answer Nick's question for you.... YES! Claying removes a large variety of surface bonded contaminants such as rail dust, brake dust, industrial polutants, chemical oversprays, water mineral deposits etc.... Once the truck is produced and painted at the factory, it will be exposed to the...

    Caring for Paint Treated with Opti-Coat Pro

    Trust me, I've been reading! The main question I have for them is what is the effective filtration rate and production GPM rating on those. I like using my pressure washer and even the CR spotless (a company that specializes in this field) can't produce something that you can put behind a...

    Caring for Paint Treated with Opti-Coat Pro

    I was going to start quoting all the posts that I wanted to put a 2 cents on but it was a mess, so let me try this instead @ blockdoc, I appreciate the lack of flames because I opted to provide a devil's advocate perspective. I do wash my truck on average every 2 weeks because I live in sugar...

    Caring for Paint Treated with Opti-Coat Pro

    OC is a permanent coating, so if it gets scratched, scuffed, or if "exposure" (environment or man produced contaminants) renders the OC not as effective (as a sacrificial barrier) or if something comes to affect the optical qualities, then you will have to compound it off. The look, the...

    Caring for Paint Treated with Opti-Coat Pro

    I agree that OC needs to be applied by a competent person AFTER proper decontamination and polishing. The prep is the key!! There are a few techniques that can be used to prevent high spots, but if you mess up you will have to compound the section and will have to spot patch (which you can do up...
