You guys are going to laugh at me when I say this - But I will take my chances. My father in law had a very similar issue with his vehicles when he purchased new mulch and there was some sort of spore or mold associated with that type of mulch. If I am not mistaken it was called Artillery Fungus.

I ended up using a soap without any additives, blew off with my blower and hand dried. Locked it up by machine applying Wolfgang DGPS 3.0 (ordered the DGPS Si02 but it didn't arrive yet) and removed by hand. In the past I topped with Pinnacle Liquid Souveran but I think I might top it with...

With an engineering background - It would be bad if I didn't overthink. LOL. Thanks for the help.

Setec - Thanks for the response. I assumed I could just wash/dry and then seal but I wanted someone else's opinion. Yea, that first picture was prior to dressing the tires and they did look like SH**. Any wash you would recommend? I was thinking about Adams car shampoo. That polisher you...

Hey Everyone. Long story short I took the day off earlier this week due to excellent NEPA weather to detail my wife's 22 Outlander. I washed, rinsed, clayed, rinsed, Iron-X, rinse, dry and then polished with the forced rotation, 3D one and white LC Force Pads. The finish was amazing but it...

Well, I hot her done. Washed with CG Mr. Pink, Clayed with Griots, Washed Again, Polished with 3D ACA 520, Sealed with Wolfgang DGPS 3.0, 12 hour moisture free cure, and then topped with a coat of Pinnacle Souveran. Hit the trim with CG VRP (I need to get a good vinyl sealer) and gave the...

Good to know. Do you apply your sealant by hand or with a machine? There are quite a few narrow areas on this outlander that I am going to hesitate using the machine on. maybe do the larger areas with the machine and narrow areas by hand. I will certainly tape off all plastic areas prior to...

They were the Quantums.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I actually just ordered the Wolfgang DGPS, Pinnacle Souveran, Griots Clay, and 2 each of black/white/orange Chemical Guys Hex logic pads. This will be the first time trying the CG pads as I typically use the LC stuff but thought I would give them a try. I'm almost...

Im in Lehighton.

Thanks for the response Briar. Here is something interesting. I just reached out to Wolfgang's and they recommended Clay Bar/DGPS Sealant/and Fuzion Carnuba since it literally has 65 miles on it. Then on top of that I asked him what polish he recommended and he said no need to polish but if...

Hey everyone. I purchased a new 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander for my wife this past weekend and I want to seal the paint and trim as soon as possible. I want to Clay, Polish, Seal, Coat of Carnuba and then seal the trim. With that being said I have been out of the detailing game way too long and...

Has anyone tried the HD Nano Pad? It is supposed to be able to be used on a machine in place of claying. I did a search but found very little information. If you have used it, what did you think? Heres some info from the website. This long lasting, 6" Nano pad will quickly remove paint over...
