Thanks Mike, I put this on the backburner until the weather improved. It sounds like the RUPES 15 is going to take forever to correct the holograms and topside oxydation. I am thinking of taking your advice and getting the flex 3401 with the autogeek 15% off sale along with your book. My plan...

Ive got a rupes 15. My boat is 32’ long with a Carolina flared hull that is dark blue, it has a 2’x2’ area of holograms. I want to correct the holograms. No hull oxidation. I plan to keep it waxed so I don’t have future oxidation. Top side, everything is oxidized and lost it’s bright white...

I used gold class plus carnauba to top Wolfgang Sealant and it looks pretty good. I used the liquid variety. I haven't had a chance to see how long it lasts. I do have some on one panel that is a few weeks older than the other panel, so I'll have to do a pic comparison of water beading soon. I...

I have 5.5" pads. I do have ceramiclear. Man this sucks. Think I should probably leave it alone if it is ceramiclear and just clay, seal and wax it again? I did use a cleaner wax once. And my car has been hit twice. Once on the side causing a lot of damage, and another time on the bumper. So...

One really important piece of advice I can give you is that the majority of the swirls and scratches on cars are caused by us when we wash them. The two buckets with grit guard help, so does really spraying down the car well before starting the wash to remove any debris sitting on the paint...

Hi, I have the blackfire duo and I want to correct swirls and mild scratches in my 09 Mercedes. I have a few questions. I used to use wolfgang by hand, but now I've just started using the porter cable. How hard do you press? I notice if I press harder the pad stops spinning and the index...

Hi, I'm going to polish a Silver C300 with a porter cable 7424. This is my first time using a polisher. I have always done things by hand. I want to make sure I have the right products and the right process in place. I've read the long ceramiclear thread from Mike. The car has some fine...

I wash about once a month and spray seal with wg spritz after washing (my cars are sealed with wg sealant) and I wipe with qd every few days. But I am always afraid that wiping with qd will slowly scratch the finish. I would rather keep the car protectants on the finish than let it wear off and...

I use the megs ultimate wash and wax. It just seems more slippery and softer on the paint to me and I like that it adds a little wax on top of my sealant. It suds really well too. It was on sale one day, same price as the gold class so I gave it a shot.

Thanks for the reply Kurt! Man, my trim is filthy. I started with some QD and a rag to get some of the black off. Then I moved to claying, but that was quickly blackening my clay bar. So I finished up claying the rest of the side of the car which I am doing today. Then I'm going to use the clay...

I was going to use IPA but I am afraid it will damage the rubber. Is it ok to use IPA on rubber? Will it crack or dry out? I just got my wg ets yestetday. I dont have any apc. Is there anything around the house I can use? Or maybe clay?
