Use DI water for final rinse.

Thanks. He's my best bud. GMPR pointing lab..... Wyatt

The K2xx came out in 2014. Anything before is differnt. The frame is a HSLA steel that is very light (for fuel economy) but at the same time stiff. This would be ok if the rest of truck was built correctly. Any one small issue gets magnified thru the frame and is felt thru your butt a d...

Silverado...... best advice is get a mouth piece when u drive. They have a very bad vibration issue.

I use CG citrus wash in high concentrate.

I just did my new Ram. I had 2 hrs into wash (1st wash ever...dealer didn't touch) Decon, wash again and then clay roof hood). Yesterday I had 4 hrs into balance of Clay and polish, but my polish was getting the paint Perfect, being very picky, which is another 4 hrs. I am going to Cquartz...

I just picked up a new Ram yesterday. Dealer was not allowed to touch it. I was a 99 mile ride home. As soon as ai got home, the sun was low so started my work. Chemical Guy Citrus wash with heavily diluted in foam cannon and 2BM. After a good wash, still kinda wet, I did Iron X, rinse and...

I just bought a new White BMW and before it even hit the road I Iron X, clayed it, then polished with Essence before 2 coats of Cquartz. BMW paint is usually pretty clean from factory, so I used some light clay and pulled almost nothing off the paint. But the Essence really made the car pop...

Funny. my 'ol Lady dives a Subaru and has been eyeing that F-Pace.

I am in almost every OEM paint shop in North America, and you would be amazed on how many bodies get some type of repair. They all get some type of minor work done as inspected, some get sent to a special repair area offline, then others get sent to go thru paint booth again a second time...

Have u tried using a compounding pad with M205 as your last step? Sometimes a polish/finish pad is too soft and will "dance".....as the top of pad and bottom of pad have different center point. Dense pad will hold centerline better.

I did my M2 with CQClassic, so not UK but I assume same principal. I did a test spot on decklid with a stopwatch (smartphone). As soon as I started applying CQ, I started the timer. After I did 2 horizontal\2 vertical passes, I let it set. After 2 min I would just swipe my finger to see if it...

I use Stoner water spot remover on a orange compounding pad. Takes 20 min to do 6 windows on crew cab truck.

I was a bit nervous that MF would be a bit much but when the orange ccs wasn't doing it I gave it a go. It finished out great. Note... above I put white ccs when I shoulda said orange. White was too light. For the HD Speed..... No prime on foam just 4 dots them 2 thereafter. MF I did a very...

I just did a 2015 dark blue A6. Guy was on a budget so we kept it simple. Looked like it was only washed with an SOS pad its entire life. Wanted paint shinedd up and wheels to be easier to clean. Wheels: wash, iron x, then hydro2 lite. Paint: Wash - CG citrus wash n gloss high concentrate...
