    In need of some maintenance advice. New to detailing.

    Thanks All!! The KISS principle in action. Keep it clean, boost it occasionally and that's all. I was afraid of a repeat of my PPF going dull quickly. No idea how it happened to begin with but i was told bad rolls can happen or maybe something got on it in the shop and it wasn't immediately...

    In need of some maintenance advice. New to detailing.

    Joe, help me understand the layering. PPF, graphene coat, every 4 months a booster spray. In between all of this apply IGL Premier? What can I layer over the PPF/Graphene layer to help things or just leave it to the weekly car wash and booster every few months or so and that's it? The suntek is...

    In need of some maintenance advice. New to detailing.

    So I have a 2017 Chevy SS sedan. I immediately had SunTek PPF installed (full front) an only occasionally (2-4 months) used Pinnacle Souveran liquid wax until a few months ago and now found myself using Beadmaker. It is my DD and sits outside. Within about the 6 month or so mark I noticed the...

    Hello, newb has 2 questions...

    Ok, I'll kill the circles, what about the intermediary step? Is there such a thing? Do you say 3wks out just arbitrarily decide to ...lay down a coat of polish followed with a coat of wax and call it a day? Just wax, or just wash and qd until 6+ months goes by and do another full? Curious as...

    Hello all, 1st post. Question, I am concerned with...

    I don't have one...yet. Goal is to get my paint back to like new as I can hope to but also saving some $. First thought was to try; the Pinnacle XMT Intermediate Swirl Remover Intro Kit along with the Pinnacle Poly Clay bundle and Poorboy's Natty Blue. Now I'm having difficulty converting...

    Hello all, 1st post. Question, I am concerned with...

    Im very interested in taking advantage of the current discount. I like some of the more complete kits but would like to save a buck and piece together only what I'll need. Suggestions? Sorry, I should (and will) do a search. Just eager to spend :) and later to reap the reward of the labor...

    Hello all, 1st post. Question, I am concerned with...

    PC? Porter Cable? Thinking about it. Just a bit afraid to experiment. I used a clar bar once (yes with lube) and the first application ...I was amazed. Several months later I kneeded (SP?) the dirty areas inward to expose what I thought was fresh clay and tried it again (sprayed the clay lube...

    Hello all, 1st post. Question, I am concerned with...

    Hello again, After reading and rereading detailing guides I believe I'm ready to make up a shopping list. Suggestions here are welcome. I own a Subaru WRX that is now 5yrs old (black) and it shows it's age. I thought I was doing all I can and now realize I can do better and I'm excited to get...
