Hey Mike, Can Gtechniq c2v3 or Opti-Seal sprays be used to top Wolfgang Si02 Paint Sealant or can they be used as a drying aid?

FK425 is my go-to detailer. Plenty of lubricant to protect against abrasion. Excellent finish and shine. Better than Meguiars.

I would like: 1) Wolfgang Füzion Estate Wax 2) Vapamore MR-100 PRIMO Steam Cleaning System 3) The Montana Original Tri-Angle Boar's Hair Brush/Telescopic Handle 4) Auto Wenol (blue) 5) Blackfire Wet Diamond Conditioning Shampoo Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Which is best for a new Mercedes Palladium Silver (metallic?)

Hot Wheels!

I've used the LC 6.5 flat and the Kompressor 6". The basic flat pads have done a great job on my car. However, the Kompressor, which I've used with glaze only, has more flexibility, particularly over curved surfaces.

I've just started using Meg's APC and I'm happy with the results. Strong enough to take off the grime but doesn't damage plastic parts I've tried so far.

Thanks for your replies! It has always been garaged and washed frequently, but just with Palmolive liquid or inexpensive car wash then finally, with Eagle One Wet car wash, which was very good, and had only been waxed a few times over the years with Turtle wax. It was never detailed, never...

Here's my 1998 Eddie Bauer Explorer. Couldn't do "before" shots this time. But here's the finished result. Sequence: Pinnacle Fine Clay>Using Flex 3401, LC flat white pad-Menzerna PO106FF>IPA>LC flat white pad-Menz 85RD>IPA>LC flat black pad-RMG>Souveran paste by hand, then subsequent hand...

I have a Flex 3401 and would like to try them. Thank you.

I used Menzerna PO106FA followed by Menzerna PO85RD for polishing. Then I used ClearKote's Red Moose Glaze and topped it with Souveran 100% carnauba paste. I particularly wanted combinations that worked on red, and these did well. It's a lot more than one step, but that's what I used.

Mike---thanks for the picture by picture on effective and safe bug removal. Learned a lesson a long time ago with a new Mercedes, black clearcoat finish and bird droppings. I was on a weekend vacation and when I got back and found the droppings, they had already etched deeply into the surface...

I received my Flex 3401 about a month ago. I called Powerhouse Distributing, the distributor and authorized service center in Omaha to inquire about lubricating the felt ring. They said that they weren't experiencing problems anymore, but it would still make sense to place a few drops of Air...

Like KAIO? This finish seems very susceptible to etching or staining; i.e. there are currently water etchings. But the KAIO plus a sealer makes sense. Thanks!

Does anybody have any information on cleaning and protecting the matte gray center section of my 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer grille? I believe that it is plastic, as is the chrome portion of the grille. Thanks.
