    Clay before winter protection?

    So I recently waterless washed my car and noticed there's that 'sandy' feeling associated with embedded contaminants. Car has 1.5 year old Cquartz UK 3 that's due to be redone next spring but I'm wondering if I should clay and then apply something like reload for the winter. I know claying...

    GTechniq CSL+Exo v4 or Cquartz UK 3+Gliss

    Hi, I've had experience with Exo 3 by itself a few years ago and it was pretty good but didn't seem to last that long. Polished it off and then put on Cquartz uk 3.0. It was great but recently got into a fender bender so new panels yadda yadda. Now I'm looking to get the car recoated. I...

    Carpro PERL and Leather

    Thanks for all the replies. I figured since I had a bottle of PERL lying around unused and read it can be used on leather, I'd try it on the Nuluxe fake leather in my Lexus lol. Though if it does smell like crap, maybe I should just get a small bottle of gyeon leather coat instead

    Carpro PERL and Leather

    Anyone ever try Carpro PERL with Leather? Just found out it works on it and was wondering if it's similar in effect to Gyeon Leather coat. Have a bottle of PERL lying around so figured if it works safely on leather and similar to leather coat, I'd give it a try.

    How to remove a Ceramic Paint Coating High Spot by Mike Phillips

    Does essence+ actually work for leveling out a high spot? Figured that since it doesn't contain any abrasives (as per the bottle), it wouldn't really "level" it out.

    Finishing polish suggestion

    Hello, Long time lurker here. Just wondering what detailers around here think about the following polishes. Im almost out of Carpro Essence and have been thinking of trying something else. Was looking at Griot Perfecting Cream and HD polish. Both of those are about $15 cheaper than Essence...

    Dye Transfer prevention

    I tend to wear raw denim which is probably a bad idea for someone that cares about the leather in their car. Anyway, it has a tendency to transfer dye and I'm wondering how good are products like Gyeon Leather coat or Chemical Guy's Leather serum in preventing it. I know Carpro Leather and...

    3D HD Speed?

    Rather than create another thread about HD Speed, thought I'd ask in here. I recently used it for the first time on brand new B&S orange pad and it caked up on the pad and just sunk in. Pad end up being super soft despite cleaning after a panel. Any other pad recommendations for HD Speed...

    SONAX Fallout Remover - How to chemically decontaminate paint before restoring a show car finish by Mike Phillips

    Does the panel have to be dry? I recently got a bottle of this and was thinking of giving the car an iron decontamination. There's probably some light dusting on the car's paint at the moment Wondering if I should hose down the car and while its still damp, spray the fallout cleaner or do I...

    Essence and new foam pad use

    I recently got a bottle of Carpro Essence and was wondering how to 'prep' a brand new foam pad. I know for MF pads, you have to prime the entire surface but what about a brand new foam polishing pad? I've see people do the X, the whole face priming, no pad conditioner etc etc. Any advice...
