20% off sale!

Nearly everything is 20% off! Some items have even better savings! (Porter Cable 7424XP excluded).
We're blowing out all Fall/Winter products to make way for new items this Spring and Summer.
Some items already going fast (Supreme towels, GONE) don't miss this once a year opportunity!

Truthfully speaking.....There may not be any at all. Im having reservations about continuing. Matter of fact I have an appt with an Orthopedic Surgeon next Friday for my shoulder. If I cant sample or really test products because of physical limitations, there no use an offering opinions on them or having them for sale.
This has been on my mind for over a year now, but has really come to light the last few days.

Anyone recommend:
1. Good polish...I have a year's worth of swirls... Figure I'll go with an orange pad for correction.
2. Sealant...great protection and shine
3. Nuba for topping the sealant.
4. Car wash (shampoo)
5. tire cleaner*
6. tire dressing*
* I have Continental DWS, and they don't take dressings very well for some reason.

Thanks

Patrick. I'm sooooo you're liquidating. Hope you get better.

4. Car wash (shampoo) Optimum Car Wash, great lube and RINSES GREAT
5. tire cleaner* Tuf SHine Tire Cleaner
6. tire dressing*
* I have Continental DWS, and they don't take dressings very well for some reason. Tires have a silicone compound in them!!

ehh..that's a bit out the way. I'll be out there on a business trip this week.

I was thinking at least 1, but there are a few other items I know I need to look into getting as well. No biggie...I still have not put together my list of items I need.

Btw Patrick....does FK 2180 have polishes/cleaners in it? Or, is it just a sealant?

Thanks again.

No abrasive polishes, but a small amount of chemical cleaning can be expected, thus brightening and enhancing.

Ok, so then by applying it, I will not remove another sealant if there is one? If I want to do 2 coats of the FK2180, by applying the second coat, will I be removing the first coat?

Thanks again.

I would give it a good 24-48 hrs before applying. When I use products like 2180, I like waiting a week for that protection to really set in, then apply another coat. I applaud you for doubling up on a sealant vs. 1x sealant + 1x Nuba........ Take no chances.

Thanks Patrick. another question....

Would it be ok to use the 2180 as a first coat of sealant, then go with the Optimum Spray Wax (easier to apply) as the second coat after waiting the week?

Perfectly fine......A hybrid atop a quality sealant is an excellent form of protection, and easy to maintain with OSW as well!

Medium is good if you live near industrial plants or the coastline areas, railyards or in the city. Or if its been quite some time since you clayed, like a couple years.
Light for most normal tasks, as well as for maintenance touch ups.......
Btw, light is just about gone. You can use medium without any ill effects if you're polishing afterwards.
All 32oz Optimum Polishes, now 30% off (or better)!

Can your yellow and orange pads be used without your backing plate? I only have the regular one that came with my PC when i purchased it. I'm looking at getting a couple or orange pads as well as a couple of yellows.

Also, what do you recommend in order to make my white diamond pearl pop? My paint is in pretty good condition and only requires minor correction. Thanks.

Oh, lastly, do I need to put in any special codes or anything to get discounts? Thanks again.

They are not that much $$ and they will help you do the job correctly.

Also, what do you recommend in order to make my white diamond pearl pop? My paint is in pretty good condition and only requires minor correction. Probably Optimum - Hyper Polish Spray...Easy to use and it work great. Use your orange pad with it. Then apply a nice sealant such as, Four Star -Ultimate Paint Protection. Your car will feel slick and look great.

Oh, lastly, do I need to put in any special codes or anything to get discounts? No. His prices are as marked on his web site.
Hope I didn't step on your toes Patrick. Thanks for the order btw.

PT thanks for filling the void! And well said.....
The trick with PW is to get all the trim looking good. Once the paint is clean, this is your next best step (and tires).
