    Top overrated/overpriced detailing products sold today

    Top overrated/overpriced detailing products sold today

    Gyeon products are over hyped for me. Never had luck with their coatings or spray sealants. Always left streaking and water spotting , i just gave up on them

    Top overrated/overpriced detailing products sold today

    I used tide but i find that dedicated microfiber soaps doesnt leave suds or soap residue on my microfibers as much as tide does. I tried different amount of tide and it always leaves my towels soapy , no matter the amount of cycles. 3d soap does a better job and in the long run probably saves me...

I had a cadillac SRX with carpro lite and samething , all good after the rain . I had the same issue with GYEON can...

    GG9 on the way. Which pads?

    for correcting on hard clear coat , uro pads with 3D all in one has worked for me. LC red pads are ok same as car pro , I dont think they do much correction unless you combine them with a good compound , at least on hard clear coat. I wouldnt use uro pads on soft clearcoat , may be a bit...

    What PH neutral soap is everyone using these days?

    I ve used car pro reset for the longest time. Its a nice soap for coated vehicles but it kind of lacks on cleaning ability , like there was been occasions where ONR took out some dirty spots while car pro reset did nothing , I've tried different dilutions and still got the same results. For the...

    What color car to get: easiest to maintain

    I had grey, silver, white, brown, black, blue By far silver is the easiest to maintain, once a month wash is enough however it is the one that looks mehhh when detailed. Its a plain boring colour For me white with tinted windows or black really pop hard when maintain. Would take those 2 ( with...

    Detailing Pricing

    I personally wouldn't charge hourly for correction , I would charge for the job . Also, I would call it paint enhancement instead of correction . For a daily driven car correction is pointless , the owner will scratch and swirl right after the first wash . You are just degrading the clearcoat so...

    How often do you wash - what about LSP degradation

    I wash my black audi at least once a week during the summer. This year I ve done mostly twice a week because I just like staying active . The problem with black cars is that they get dusty very quickly. This one sleeps inside a garage and very rarely gets driving when it rains My white...

    yea i agree . Spotless works 1 out of 10 times. The only times that it has worked with me is when the water spots are no more than a few days old. having said that. I havent had luck with white vinegar or any other product for water spots that are older polishing the panel seems like the only...

    I'm about done with ceramic coatings, not worth it , need suggestions
