Wow that came out excellent, nice job!

Had a Harley customer ask me if I could ceramic coat the chrome bits on his 2016 Low Rider including the exhaust. I told him probably not but honestly not really sure since I never had anyone ask me do it. I have coated chrome emblems/badges in the past with no issues but not sure how the...

^ This, that’s probably your issue. Make sure you clay bar the hell out of the paint first. Your probably just picking up a ton of contaminates. You don’t need to be concerned using a white pad either, there’s not enough cutting power there. If I were you I would probably to a 2-step compound...

Just use iron-x, clay bar will cause the coating to fail prematurely. The only coating safe clay bar I know of is 22ple but I have not tested. Normally for my own car and clients I recommend - treatment of iron x in the spring and in the fall right before winter. Doing that I never seem to have...

I have corrected several Toyota’s (newer) and all of them had a pretty hard clear coats and it took a lot of time to level down it the defects. Being a 2016 I can’t imagine that the clear coat would be near jeopardy if you were to hit is with a medium cut polish. Only true way to tell is to see...

Yeah I can see where that could be an issue. 95% of my details are out of the sun so I’ll keep that in mind if I ever have to clay bar in the sun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought one of these after being skeptical for a long time. After years of using clay bar It’s officially my least favorite part of the detailing process so I finally bit the bullet and picked up the NanoSkin Wash Mitt in hopes to speed up the clay bar process. I know a lot of people say it’s...

You sound exactly like me but I am in fact crazy lol. I am a Network Administrator of a large law firm and I still have a Detailing business on the side. I usually work my full time job between 37-40+ hours a week plus some weeknights after hours during upgrades. That being said, its not easy...

That looks fantastic, nice work! I find it hard to work with GM paint, well at least with the 2017 Silverado I just did a couple weeks ago. It had some hard ass clear coat....

That’s pretty awesome. I mean they better not be screwing up McLaren paint! I think they can afford to hire qualified retailers though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those are OEM optional I believe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally got some above freezing temps this weekend and tackled this beast. I don't know what it is with this Chevy's paint but it was extremely difficult to work with, I still am not completely satisfied with the outcome and feel somewhat defeated. The truck definitely looks a hell of a lot...

I agree with you, He was just in a rush to get into a new vehicle. When I bought my brand Accord I told them to not even take the plastic off and they were happy to do what I wanted. I wouldn’t have even dealt with a dealer like this, pretty ridiculous. Like other mentioned, the majority of...

I just couldn't believe my eyes so I had to share this with my Autogeek friends. One of my good buddies bought a brand new Chevy 1500 High Country from a dealer in CT. He immediately gave me a call before purchasing to ask me about doing a GTechniq CSL/EXO ceramic coating. I said sure lets do...

Excellent, That was going to be my next question if claying could possibly shorten the life of the coating. "Can I decontaminate using IronX" Guess the answer to that is yes. Thanks!
