Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you were not driving the car during that 1 week detail stretch, thus, all panels remained clean after each detail session. My detail stretch will be something like detail a panel on weekend 1, drive for a week, detail another panel on weekend 2, drive...

I'm trying to come up with a process to detail my SUV one or two panels per day. I normally would love doing my detail in one full day session but can't these days due to time constraints and a 6 month old! Here's what's on my mind: The Subject: 1. 2015 Lexus RX350 (Starfire Pearl) w/ about 3k...

I would hope it lasts at least 6 weeks! But the claim of 18 months and beading at 20 mph sounded unbelievable - almost too good to be true. I thought the high price tag to it would back up its claim. I would be happy if it beaded at 30mph and in the same or better fashion than Rain-X. I would...

Thanks Nick. I'm located in Philadelphia suburban areas. The temperature during time of application was definitely below 60 degrees. It seems the consensus here is to do an IPA wipe down as a step right before coating. I will take your advice Nick and do two wipedowns. Your recommendation as to...

Some googling of Stoner's Invisible Glass shows that it contains some IPA and acetone. No concentration percentage is mentioned though. This made me thought Stoner was enough to remove the polish residue. I have a bottle of Pinnacle paintwork cleansing lotion and I'm wondering if I can use this...

Hi everyone, I recently purchased and applied some PBL Diamond Glass Coating on my front windshield. I unfortunately did not see the performance that I was hoping to see after reading about what it can do. My car is new with 3k miles and all glass has been maintained with Stoner's Invisible...

Your issue of the flaking sounds similar to what I've noticed but it wasn't to that extent where I saw flakes sticking to my car. Maybe it was but my car is white and it could've blended. But there was that "sunburnt skin" appearance around the wall of the tire close to the outer wheel edge...

Thanks Nick. I will try to apply another coat with a liberal amount. When I said drops on the foam pad, the amount ends up being around maybe 15 drops total and it was spreading very easily and much further than I anticipated. I would do maybe 5 drops, spread it to a third of the tire, another...

Hey guys, I recently purchased the DP tire coating kit and couldn't wait to try these products. I've been using Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel and love the look 1 coat of that gives but it doesn't last. Thus couldn't wait to try this for the durability. After following the instructions...

After experimenting with ONR and the GDWM, I found there's plenty of ONR solution left in my clean ONR mix bucket and pre-rinse spray bottle. It was all mixed at a ratio for rinseless wash. The spray bottle has been closed and the wash bucket has been sealed with a lid. Can this stuff be re-used...

Nice job. That car has some great reflection and shine for white. What products were used on it to get it there before this washing session?

Thanks for the advice guys. I read Mike Phillip's topping definition/how-to article and learned a lot from there. I know it's a bit of a risk but I guess my mind keeps thinking what else can I add to go that one extra mile. And I'd hate to end up going backwards so I may just hold back. Luckily...

Hi everyone - I recently detailed my new car and have a question about topping with wax. I detailed about less than 1.5 weeks ago and am now considering topping with Bouncer vanilla ice wax for that further depth and shine. My detail consisted of the following: 1. Wash and dry with Pinnacle...
