    polish prep for ppf install

    Most reputable shops will wash and clay bar any area they are applying PPF to. I have also seen them use the Autoglym purple to remove any other oxidation from the paint. And yes Expel is probably the best product out there right now. Wax it after the PPF is applied.

I self isolated by the pool, drank a ton of water, moderate amounts of rum and every drop of cough syrup I could get. We made it back home and all is well. My wife thinks she...

    Question C5 Brakes

    Vinyl Wrap Roof Panel?

    I had mine done in a flat back vinyl (outside only) 2 years ago. It still looks as good as the day it was done. It was done locally in Edmonton at a shop called Carbon Auto. They have since closed and I lost track of the guy that did it. I have heard good things about a shop in the downtown area...
