    UGH!!!! Rust

    Just saying, before anyone trash talks my having the Camaro undercoated and it still rusting, I had the rustproofing done SEVEN years ago and just this winter, the car developed some surface rust on a lower seam in a rust-prone area. I can live with that. I found some rust starting on both the...

    An open letter to my Dad

    An open letter to my Dad We lost my Dad Monday, December 6th after a short illness (NOT COVID). But he had been fighting Parkinson`s Disease for almost 20 years, which left him all but unable to do his favorite things, except for the short periods when he was "good," and could move around. He...

    2nd 303 Graphene experience

    Just over 3 months ago, I tried out 303`s Graphene Nano Spray Coating. Looking back now, I made several mistakes with it. First, I didn`t let it `set up` for the recommended 5 minutes, I buffed it off sooner (which according to 303 will negatively affect the longevity). Too, I immediately...

    303 Graphene @ 3 months (abused) + Griots PFM 25 x 35 towel

    I finally washed the Camaro tonight, it`s been a solid 2 months since its last bath - life gets in the way sometimes :dunno: I do have to say that even with 2 months worth of driving in the rain, LOTS of miles put on, BUGS and being fully exposed to Mother Nature`s wrath, the car wasn`t as...

    Niece`s Kia

    My wife, sister in law and niece went to Virginia Friday to visit their 100 y/o grandmother, and left the niece`s Kia Soul at our house {Insert Evil Laugh}. So with no adult supervision, I decided to experiment on the car a little. 303 brags that their Graphene Spray Coating can be used on ANY...

    303 Graphene Can you see what`s missing?

    The other day, after giving the car a "Final Wipe" getting rid of the few remaining `missed spots` and making the finish perfect, it was driven through a moderate rain for several miles. Imaging my surprise when after the rainwater dried off the car, I noticed something missing. Can you see what...

    303 Graphene / 3 coats and a wash

    For those of you who have been following along with me while I experiment with the 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating, you`ll know that i have 3 coats of the product on the Camaro. A few days after removing the 3rd coat, I noticed some smearing here and there on the paintwork. It was all my fault...

    Response from 303 regarding application and removal Graphene Coating

    Question: I have a question about the 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating. Application is EASY, but it`s the removal I am (kind of) having issues with. If I let it completely dry to a haze, like say by coating the whole car before removing, then removal is a BEAR! If I go section by section, and...

    Some smearing and 1st time driving in the rain with 303

    Driving home from work today, I hit a light rain going down the highway. On the glass, the 303 acted amazingly like Rain-X as far as water repellency, with even the smallest drops of water shooting up the glass as I travelled about 70 mph. On the paint, the water literally FLEW up the hood and...

    2nd and 3rd coats of 303 Nano Graphene applied - thoughts

    Over on AG, I posted this in the "1st Wash" thread and the admins recommended that I start a new thread with it so it wouldn`t be missed. So I`m doing the same here... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It`s done. The Camaro now...

    First Wash - 303 Graphene

    First Wash - 303 Graphene UPDATED!! It`s been just over a week since I applied the 303 to the Camaro and in that time, I`ve driven close to 900 miles, and while the front end collected A LOT of bugs, the rest of the car didn`t seem to have collected much dust/dirt at all. So I guess it`s safe...

    303 Graphene + The Camaro = Observations

    I couldn`t stand it anymore. The Camaro NEEDED washed, so I figured why not...so I put a layer of the 303 Graphene coating on the car. Between the wash & application of the 303, it took a couple of hours with me taking my time not to miss anything. During the application, I noticed a few things...

    303 Graphene questions

    I`ve read everything I could about the 303 Graphene Spray (OK, so I read Mike`s review, twice) and I have a question. On the bottle, it says there is no cure time for water exposure, but that`s all it says. What about for washing or putting on a second coat? Should I just wait the 12 - 24 hours...

    Wheels are polished & sealed

    Well, I went out and picked up a Mother`s Power Cone and after a lot of self debate, some 303 Graphene. We finally got a break in the heat/humidity department, so I went out and polished the rims on the wife`s Escape. They were relatively clean, but they had a brown staining over most of the...

    Rim staining

    Once the 2nd coat of Flex Wax is on, I need to turn my focus to the rims. They all have some staining on them that won`t come off with an iron remover or APC. By HAND, a light polish started to remove it, but I was wondering if I should invest in a Mother`s Power Ball (drill attachment) to fully...

    2013 Ford Escape

    So just over a week ago, the wife picked up a 2013, Ruby Red Ford Escape. It has just 59,000 miles and has almost every option except AWD. The only "bad" part of the car is the interior, which is filthy, but the dealer is going to send it out to a shop to steam the seats etc. I said go for it...

    Flex Wax , application method #2 (drying aid)

    Washed the car finally after getting it snowed on & driving through salty slush. During the initial rinse, the water beaded on the top surfaces and sheeted on the lower verticals. Once washed and during the rinse, it went back to beading everywhere. I usually use the Wet Wax as a drying aid...
