After 2-3 years of regular use, I am afraid that my CarPro Incredipads have reached the end of their lifecycle. What are your favorite car wash sponges? I alternate between regular washes and rinseless washes, using the 2B method in each case. Thanks! Feed back please

Hello all, I am considering taking the dive into coatings. Based on the posts of many, I can see many of you are big-time fans. To all who have applied one or more coatings over the past few years: 1. How have your coating(s) performed over the months and years (gloss, beading, sheeting...

Thanks Silverfox. If I use HD Polish as a pre-wax cleaner, how many passess do you think that I will need with a white hybrid pad? I have not used HD Polish before but I have noticed that you and a few other regulars highly recommend it. Do you often use it as a standalone polish when...

I am sorry if this has been asked before, but I have two black cars which are fairly well maintained. Both received full details (decon, 2-step polish) in the early spring and have been washed regularly (using 2BM). At this point of the summer I would like to renew the LSP on the vehicles...

Angus, Did you have a sealant under the Blackice?

Thanks for the advice Nick! It looks like I will be busy this weekend!

Thanks Kamakaz. Although I initially applied Blackice over Midnight Sun, I subsequently striped everything via P21s paintwork cleaner and applied a thin coat of Blackice - to no avail. Do you think that the P21s was insufficient? The hood felt very clean/striped post- P21s.

Hello all, I recently performed a full detail on my black BMW (wash, decon, clay, polish (Reflect), sealed with BFWD). Everything looked great at this point. Never willing to settle, I applied BF Midnight sun a week later (after washing). Taking things to another level, I then applied BF...

Hi all, I spent the better part of the weekend detailing my wife's DD, a black 2014 Lexus RX 350. Although I did not take any "before" pictures, the vehicle was thoroughly encrusted with bugs and had its share of light swirls and water spots (black shows everything!!). Although I am very...

Mike, Another great review! How does Endless Shine leave the surface in terms of slickness? Thanks!

When applying paste wax by machine, do you prime the pad with wax?

Zach, I love your work and your posts! A quick question... on a non-correction job like this, do you have a problem with clay-induced marring? I am still a newbie, but I have discovered the importance of claying to the final result. While I plan on polishing my vehicle twice a year I like to...

Thanks. How much time do you allow between coats? Jake

I'm getting ready to winterize my car for the winter. For all who use 845, do you layer it on top of a sealant? Or as a standalone LSP?

Reviving an old thread... for those who recommend spraying vs wiping perl on tires: How do you manage against over spray on the paint and wheels?
