I was trying out some 3D pads today, I wasn't a fan of them. maybe the pad wasn't seasoned yet, but it seemed like it kept flaking on me spitting up some white little spots. I have rupes pads, but I haven't used them yet since I was using my 3D pads, and LC pads last time I used it. What do you...

I was using my rupes 15 today for the first time extensively on a full correction, ( I don't have a rotary at the moment ) What I noticed is that on my truck, it's a 2018, more of the newer vehicles have a lot of bends / curves in back panels and hoods, my rupes kept stalling out on almost...

Thanks for the input, if you dont mind either posting here or PM'ing me, could you shed some light on GYEON's prodcuts? Also, on Mckees, which product do you use to coat glass?

Hey everyone, did some looking around and can't find solid answers ( may not have looked hard enough ) on these few questions. -Can Cquartz UK 3.0 be applied to windows and plastic trim? I read yes on windows, and nothing on plastic trim but I did notice they have a coating specifically for...

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Have you heard any or any first hand experience with Blackwow? I've read up some good reviews on that also.

I've been using Meguiars Ultimate Plastic restorer for a little while now until I run out, It does the job, however I feel like there is a lot better for two reasons 1. to get a nice uniform coat, it takes a good bit of product and some elbow grease to rub it in ( to me at least ) and 2. It...

Gotcha. I bought a pad cleaner brush today. I did notice the other day as I was playing around with my DA on a 'test car' I only used one pad for the AIO I was using, and towards the end the foam pad started getting clogged up it seemed like, so that's why I bought the pad cleaner brush.

If you dont mind, PM me which ones you have. I may be interested.

I understand slinging product all over the place would be a sure sign lol, I mean would the pad get clogged up if too much is impregnated into the pad etc?

Thanks for the response. Is there a way to tell if my pad is overloaded with product? Would it just clog the pores. I'm using LC pads, and 3D pads with 3D product.

When preppaing a pad, how much is too much, and too little when prepping the pads, and also when applying to a working area? for example. Should there only be 3-4 sized pea drops per panel, or 3-4 sized pea drops per 18x18 section. What are some for sure tell tale signs of too much product on a...

Thanks for those answers. I plan on doing my first swirl / scratch removal today then applying hydro2. If all goes well and I'm happy with results I'll step up to ceramic!

I'm fairly new to in-depth detailing. I tried looking without exact answers, on a few questions about silica sealants. Does silica sealants such as Hydro2 provide a glossy shine to a vehicle after being applied? since silica goes on a clean surface, is a coat of wax needed or recommended ontop...
