    Coating recommendation

    After much research, I decided on PURE. However, I noticed that it was strangely missing from Autogeek's website? Does anyone know why?

    Got my new garage wall-mounted vac: Prolux Garage Vac

    I researched wall mount wet dry vacs for an hour and was ready to pull the trigger on a prolux unit only to find out they are completely out of stock. I fear they are not making them anymore because EVERY store is out of stock. :( There are no other mid-range wall mount wet dry vacs out there...

    First time with a ceramic coating- need advice

    Hello everyone. Long time hobby detailer, first time ceramic coating user. I purchased Black fire pro black edition and have a few questions... I spent 2 days paint correcting my black dodge Challenger. I prepped the roof panel and applied the coating. I'm having a hard time knowing when I...

    2008 Honda CRV - Never had a wax a single coat of wax or sealant!

    That's a great idea. I actually have Luxe wrapping on my Challenger and didn't even think about it.

    2008 Honda CRV - Never had a wax a single coat of wax or sealant!

    Haha yes. The headlights are next. I told her they would have to wait. I've got some McKees 37 headlight restoration polish on hand. I may try that first and if they don't come out then I may end up going the route of wet sanding them. Does anyone know of a good coating to put on the...

    2008 Honda CRV - Never had a wax a single coat of wax or sealant!

    Thanks for the compliments! I originally used the orange pad with a lighter compound but it didnt remove a lot of the scratches. I tested with the 110 using a MF pad and it worked so well. I was very cautious to check after my test spot to make sure I wasnt burning through. I am glad I didnt...

    2008 Honda CRV - Never had a wax a single coat of wax or sealant!

    Last weekend I spent two days doing a paint restoration on my girlfriend's 2008 Honda CRV. It has never had wax or sealant applied to it since it was purchased back in 2008. It also had multiple scratches and a large damaged spot where she backed into something and swiped against something else...

    Review: WOLFGANG Iron Remover

    Does the iron remover strip sealants or wax? Is it safe to use on a detailed car or should I only use it before a detail job?

    Poor Wolfgang sealant endurance, need input

    Six months ago I fully detailed my black 2015 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack using Menzerna Super Finish 3500 and Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. I used a DA polisher and took my time. The job took me 2 days but came out great! I was able to remove pretty much everything except deeper isolated...

    2015 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack - Black- *Soft Paint*

    This is great info! Thanks for taking the time to show all of the different examples. This will be a great reference thread for people with these cars/colors in the future. Before I knew that paints could be hard/soft I always wondered why my car seemed to scratch so easily even though I would...

    2015 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack - Black- *Soft Paint*

    I used the 3500 for the first two steps (blue and tangerine pads) and the Wolfgang sealant for the third and final step. The challenger has extremely soft paint and the blue pad with the 3500 got every swirl and scratch out minus the deep ones. I was trying to use the least aggressive products...

    2015 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack - Black- *Soft Paint*

    Thanks fellas! I used the blue (cutting) pads first and then the orange (polishing) pads after. Then I used the crimson pads for the sealant. I'm still blown away with how good the car looks.. We took her to run errands tonight and I kept looking back. I was worried about swirls being that...

    2015 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack - Black- *Soft Paint*

    Let me start by saying this was my first big polishing job (with a DA). I recently found this forum, joined and made a huge purchase as it has been way past due for my Challenger to get a good polish job done on her. I have always done this by hand in the past. I started by doing tons of...

    ♫♫ I'm in love with a.. ♫♫ Challenger! What were you thinking?!

    I'm actually in Atlanta Georgia. They have a great challenger group over here that I need to start participating in. I recently bought a bunch of stuff and will document how the job goes. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    ♫♫ I'm in love with a.. ♫♫ Challenger! What were you thinking?!

    I remember reading that when I was younger. I had a black base model with lifters so loud that you could hear me a mile away! It was such a great looking car for the day! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
