It varies by the coating and the added product. Some will work, and others will nt play well as far as polymer, or carnuba based products. What does work on everything I have coated and tried, are the coating specific products by polish angel, car pro, gyeon. It is also dependant on the product...

I appreciate that rolling out of the factory. Its pretty easy to make big power these days. Most of the guys I know are 1000+ flywheel, and the cars can be as docile as stock except for cam rock at idle. Myself am around 700 wheel, and for sure you need to be carefull when you mash on it. Tires...

Coating are good for the thin clear coats factories are spraying these days. Carefully washed they can have any minor swirling repaired with Car Pro Essence+. Areas that need more extensive repairs can be touched up with Car Pro Essence and recoated without re-doing the complete panel. If you...

Another rinsless Mitt user here. I have 4 of them, and also use them for traditional washes. As Ron said they release dirt really well.

Simply amazing turn around. That is some top shelf work to say the least!

I use one of towels asked about in the OP, as well as the Big Blue. I use the Gyeon silk specfically for my ZL1, mainly becuse it has its own dedicated wash mitts ans well as microfibers. I works very well and has different nap heights side to side. It seems to behave differently and I use both...

Yes it does, I would probably go for it, but I have both already, so it would be essence then essence plus..... but essence plus is fantastic..I love both products!

Good catch been a few years since I have used it. Yes apply over bare paint.

I would try some Menzerna FG400 on a white pad, and then try it on the orange pad if the white does not work. Then re evaluate. Sometimes you have to live with the scratches. If the FG400 does not make some significant improvement I would be surprised. It the scratches are too deep sometimes...

My routine is based on water restrictions, and not a lot of free time. Various coatings applied to personel cars. Rinseless is prefered Car Pro Ech2o, works wonderful and is synergistic to all of the coatings. Light garage dust waterless with Ech2o as well. Detail spray/topper Ech2o mixed with...

Trust me for a quick detailer just use the Ech2o mixed with some reload. Many other detailers don't play well on top of coatings. You need very little used, a little goes a long way. I use is at 1oz to 20oz of water. Then a light mist per panel.

And it works much better and last waaaaY longer than V07 to boot. V07 is more suited to waxed cars than coated as well.

I have discolored mine, but have always been able to get them whiteish again. I take a bucket and let them dwell in water and microfiber detergent . Let them sit for a bit then agitate and wring by hand. Sometimes I let them sit in the solution overnight, and wash them with microfiber detergent...

I have no experience with that level, but have had physical therapy for deep tissue damage resulting from a motocross crash. Was off for 3 months for recovery, and that is a real challenge because I could not do anything except therapy, and take pain meds. Pain meds was the worst part, because...

Excellent. Let me know when the micro shipment arrives. Nor cal from C5. Look forward to the pics
