An ode to Odin... Mercedes SL 55 AMG flavored

Thanks ! Actually my adventures here probably would make a good comedy Would you believe I was homeless 6 months after I arrived to Hungary? Sucked but I pulled myself out of it...

Thanks Sal! 5N is some really good stuff! Actually when The Wolf made it I wasn't too pleased with it and wanted to toss it back into the lab for refinement, but he insisted that I give it another chance. Once I got to know it a bit better I was simply amazed at what I could do with it, so this is actually the only polish that we left exactly the way it came out on the first batch. If the tire dressing isn't sticking that can mean a couple of things: One, the tire wasn't clean when you applied it. This dressing is really a cool dressing, because the solvents inside it are very quick-drying, so they open up the pores of the tire just long enough to let the "juices" in and then the solvents dry so they don't harm the tires. It happens within a couple of seconds really! If the pores are clogged, they can't be opened so the "good stuff" sits on the surface and will come off pretty easily. OR the tire is very dry and porous and isn't capable of holding a dressing for so long. I've had this dressing last for over 3 weeks on my tires and that was in the snow and salt, no joke. Even when my tires are filthy all I do is blast them with water and they're black again and the water just beads and beads...

 

Oh and the "clean surface" part applies to the trim, as well !

 

APC with some scrubbing before applying dressing does wonders. I learned the hard way by wasting product.

 

Thanks Jesse. I haven't given up on it and I know it was something I was doing because on the wifes van it looks great, I sprayed it and left it and some areas I used a MF pad to apply
