Getting my Riverside Blue 2SS 1LE and though I have ceramic and graphene my cars in the past for this one I would like to try going with a low gloss ceramic, I don't want the shine I almost want a flat look. The hood will have matte PPF over the flat hood so I will be using a matte ceramic for...

You're addicted, good job. Does the wife know?

I don't think the lake county blue pad is for cutting and correction so 5 would be a bit fast on the PC. I use a PC and I cut on 5 or 6 and polish on 3-4. I also use 4 pads when I do my car.

So let me rephrase that, well into my second year the Graphene is holding up well but it's neither here nor there.

Marine 31 Gel Coat Heavy-Cut Cleaner Wax, best boat cleaner wax, gel coat cleaner wax

Your question is like asking what is your favorite color/brand of underwear, I personally like the easy of use of Ethos Graphene cause I can do it in my garage on a warm day, I am two years in with no visible signs of deterioration. I had Adams and Renny Doyle professionally applied and they...

I would start with clay and then a gel coat cleaner wax.

With my PC I have found a Microfiber cutting pad is a good place to start and I like the D30016, 90% of the time it gets most of the defects out and if I want to get more out I step up to a yellow or orange pad have used 3D cutting, M105 and they both work well. Then I hit the entire car with...

Two thumbs up for GTechniq C4.

a sponge? I would never trust anyone with a sponge.

If you plan on taking off road I would suggest PPF on the bottom once you decide how to proceed with paint protection. Do the PPF after correction but before protection application.

It's my understanding that you DON'T sign the ticket, lock it in a safe and see a lawyer. If you don't sign it then the lottery has no right to disclose who you are and the lawyer can set up a trust. Then it stays all under the radar until you tell someone with loose lips you won.

I had the factory PPF on rear quarter panels and had installed PPF on the front bumper and front hood area. I have no chips after 4 years but I don't do a lot of highway driving. You are more likely to get stone chips from highways then in city. I did pull off the factory PPF just last summer...

Never had an issue with CarPro IronX staining. I don't spray directly on to glass rubber or plastic and I make sure I rinse throughly behind all trim and my next step is always a thorough wash.
