    Paint - Ceramic Coating - Question??

    Paint - Ceramic Coating - Question??

    Thanks for asking somebody in the industry! And that's exactly what I asked the tech guys at the ceramic coating companies. Some claim that their polymer based Matte finish formula will more "follow" the microscopic contours, those little peaks and valleys, and harden over top, in their...

    Paint - Ceramic Coating - Question??

    Thanks for the input.. With exception of one anomaly, my clear is still amazingly pristine considering my Av has been a work truck since day 1, 134k miles ago (157 now).

    Paint - Ceramic Coating - Question??

    Been thinking about this for a couple years now. I've called 4 ceramic coating companies and 2 body shops to ask their thoughts about it, and have received 3 "yes, that should work but start in a small inconspicuous area first" answers.....and 3 "I don't know" answers. So I thought I would put...

    Another option for Motor/Engine mounts

    Good question....I'm sure he would give you the answer Not sure if this design would be best for rubber though?? Someone please correct me if Im wrong, but Im of the belief that urethane's benefit vs rubber is the ability to provide equally adequate shock absorption in a smaller package? -or-...

    Genuine Tech2 quick question

    Thank you for weighing in and for checking out that form... I would hope it was truly harmless, but as I've said before on here(Escalade cluster ordeal): one of my biggest no-no's is "getting got"; and honestly the entire process was just off, e.g. --I haven't been able to log back into the...

    Another option for Motor/Engine mounts

    Just wanted to share some of the observations I made during my search to cure my Motor Mount blues....and which style and manufacturer I ended up settling on, and why... About two weeks ago I finally got the nerve to make the TCC Lockup changes I shouldve made a year ago with my HP Tuners...
