Toss in another vote for the Griot's BOSS Finishing Sealant. You should also test each formulas reaction to trim/plastic. I'm in need of a really bad ass AIO.

I tried finding the first episode on a bootleg streaming site because I don't like giving my money to Amazon and I had three or four links fail miserably. I think I saw about half of it and so far it's fantastic.

Different strokes, right? If it puts it into any kind of perspective, I hand wash ALL of my towels because I only have one washing machine and a white Husky that sheds more than any dog I've ever seen. I'm so afraid to wash my MF towels in the same thing that washes the clothes, towels, and...

Since I started using rinseless washes, I've always just used the GD method but now that I'm taking on customers I'm getting really burned out on washing all the MF towels. Does the BRS (or other media like a rinseless wash mitt) still clean stubborn spots effectively? Say there's a splotch of...

Finish Kare 425 or Chemical Guys Speed Wipe Both incredible, affordable products. Of the three you listed, I'd go with the Optimum product, but only because I haven't tried the other two.

Happy Thanksgiving, AGO. I don't do the whole online community/forum thing very much, but you all seem to be a good group of folks and I'm thankful for all the insight and expertise shared here.

I'm not sure I've ever bought into color-enhancing LSPs; as long as the paint is in pristine condition, a topping designed for whatever color really won't make a difference. Just make sure it's protected and well taken care of with whatever product you enjoy using. What does make a huge...

Congrats on your purchase! You're going to get a lot of different answers. I personally use microfiber pads and the Orange/White HexLogic style pads with M105/M205 compound and polish. I've had pretty great success with this combo, but I'm also still new to high-level paint correction and...

Are they all over the car? If not, I'd consider getting some polish and try doing it by hand. I worry the guy that installed those scratches will also be the one trying to fix them. "Professional detailer" could literally just be the guy in the back that preps all the other cars; people like to...

Do you have multiple orange pads? If not, you'll need to do a LOT of on-the-fly pad cleaning.

Even if you think it's hard paint, try a test spot starting with V36. If it gets desirable results stick with it; if not, move a step down. I personally haven't had a ton of luck removing deeper defects with the V compounds, but maybe I suck. The wavy look you speak of is likely 'orange peel,'...

I appreciate the responses! I know it's late, but the forum wouldn't let me access this page for a few days. I've had nothing but success with Griot's other products, so the next time I'm buying, I'll try that. M105 is awesome, but the dust is ROUGH.

It all looks so fancy. I want to try them!
