    First time with Collinite

    Thank you! I can't wait to see the results once I get it properly polished. Some day... I have been planning on using the Wolfgang series (UC, TSR, and FG), so it's good to hear it's brought such great results for you. Which series of lake country pads do you like to use? I see they have the...

    First time with Collinite

    tpr, first I must say I've admired your truck for a while. You take great care of it and it looks awesome. I can't wait to get my own PC later this year and correct my own paint.

    First time with Collinite

    Thank you. I loved how the water beaded up with the DPPC Sealant, and I am excited to see how the Collinite behaves. Thank you as well. I cannot speak for it's durability, although I hope it will live up to expectations and last me a few months. That will affect my decision for sure, but as...

    My first ever detail with some product reviews

    Thank you all for the warm welcome. It's definitely nice considering how cold it is here in Newport. Unfortunately I don't have an outlet handy, so I'm searching around for places where I can park and use one once there's a break on this weather. I don't know exactly where I'll be moving yet...

    Hello! My name is David, I'm 24, and currently I'm in Rhode Island but I'll be relocating in the coming months back to the West coast. I never knew too much about detailing until recent months when I decided to dive in head first when I bought my truck last month (a 2012 F-150 Lariat with 20k...
