Thanks again for the responses. My short list was Dream Maker and Polish Angel High Gloss. I have a weekend vehicle to cruise in’s, car shows and Cars and Coffee so investing in High Gloss is not as painful as doing just one shot on a single vehicle.

The paint on the Cobra was already in very good condition. We went ahead and de-contaminated the paint……polished the paint with a finishing polish to remove hazing and spiderwebbing. Then was treated to a Griots 3 in 1 ceramic protection. It has only been driven 2 times since that process...

My nephew will be displaying his 2004 Mustang Cobra at the Goodguys Nationals in Columbus,Ohio in July. It is a special display of “6 Generations of Mustang”. I would like to get all of your opinions as to which product would give the maximum gloss/shine/pop for displaying the car for the 3 days...

Thanks Mike. I have used BF One Step on my daily driver. Very good results. I will use it on the RV.

Which One Step In Full Sun? A friend wants his 30 foot motor home polished to get it ready to sell. It has some mild oxidation and some streaks of staining from sitting outside. I will not have the luxury of doing the work in the shade. Full sun. which “One Step” “AIO” will work well in...

Impressive result Mike. You are a magician with a buffer in your hands. The paint looked pretty old and hammered. Surprising that you used a compound. You are more brave than I would have been. I would have bailed and just used Blackfire One Step twice. Just kinda snuck up on it. I have seen...

The car is clean. It never gets dirty. Just dusty. I will be working on the car inside the garage.

I would like to polish the paint this winter while the car is in winter hibernation. I won’t be able to hand wash the car because of too cold temps so that rules out removing the wax with a washed based product. I want to start with a clean surface so as to see the true condition of the paint...

It's been nine days since I started this thread. It's a nice 50 degree day here in Indy so it is my last chance to get a topper on the F-150 before winter. I decide to try Griot's new ceramic spray and see how it does. It became available to the buying public today. I have the luxury of...

I buffed the truck with a Griots G15 and a 5” ORANGE polishing pad. 1 inch per second arm speed and around 4 section passes. Dam it looked good!!

I applied Blackfire One Step yesterday to my F-150. Wanted to get some protection on the paint for our Upcoming Indiana winter. I used the synthetic clay towel with Sonax Glass Cleaner as my lubricant. Works really good as a dual purpose product. It lubrucates and also cleans the paint as...

I am starting to see a lot more buzz about these "SiO2" products and also "Ceramic Spray". Griot's debuted one at SEMA. Is it a better product than a "Sealant Spray"? Is it more durable? Does it produce more shine? More gloss? And my most important question is....can it be used as a...

I filled the washer tub with water on the hot wash setting. I then used a common food temperature probe and checked the temp of the water. It was around 115 to 120. Good to go! I set the dryer to the delicate setting. Very warm but not real hot.

I applied Pinnacle Souveran about 4 months ago. Since that time I have used Wolfgang Fusion Spray wax as a booster a few times. Also used Pinnacle Crystal Mist Detail Spray a few times before cruise in events. My question is .....can I apply Wolfgang Fusion Wax in the next month or so or...

I too use the Sonax Glass cleaner and synthetic "mini" towel from Nanoskin. I feel I am getting two things accomplished at once. I am obviously removing the bonded contamination from the paint surface but am also "cleaning" the paint and removing the grime and maybe evening removing the...
