Hi Mike, thanks for checking with PJ! I'm definitely curious to hear how it has held up for him. Have a terrific day!

Hi Mike, Last November, you treated a buddy's tonneau cover with C Quartz Leather. Have you heard how it held up? Thank you. Jeff

Hi Mike, right out of the gate, your Texas Cadillac comment made me laugh! I love it. I appreciate your thoughtful, honest response, and respect your opinions tremendously; thank you for allowing me to pick your brain a bit. So many parts of your answer resonated with me. As I'm getting into...

Thank you, Mike, I look forward to your thoughts. It's also a good reminder for me to close the laptop, and relax a bit, too. Take care, my friend. Jeff

I greatly appreciate you taking time to offer well thought out insight. I mirror so many of your thoughts, including minimizing touching the paint by using hydrophobic toppers and blowers before a final wipe dry. I've had great experience with Cquartz's other products, as well as BF, so my early...

Hi Mike, In 2017, I reached out to you regarding your thoughts on protecting my first new car purchase. I live in south-central Wisconsin, daily drive my vehicles year-round, garage them in the evening, and have access to touchless automatic washes in the winter months. In 2017, your advice...

Mike, as far back as when you were with Meguiar's, I've always appreciated your willingness to share your favorite products. Thank you for the tip on the CarPro pads. I have access to a PC 7424 and I'll give it a try. I seem to recall a discussion years back about obtaining better results with...

Hi Mike, I'll try to make my question brief. I have great success with Pinnacle ASR, Meguiars 205, and 3D Speed for swirl removal AND finishing with my Makita 9227 (I know, I know, I need to purchase a Flex Beast). With nearly every clear coated vehicle, I can apply wax after using these...

Lol, I went with some Beadmaker, Aquawax, 4 Star, and a bottle of Souveran. I chose the Souveran mostly because I am absolutely in love with the depth of shine with the Sourveran wax, so I had to try it! I had a 25% off coupon to use today, so hopefully I didn't forget a super obvious choice. I...

Without breaking the bank, I picked up 4 recommended spray waxes and I can't thank you guys enough. So many times, I'll order 7,8,9 products, just to try them all. In this case, I don't have the time to do that, so to be able to narrow the pack down to 4 absolutely makes my day. Feel free to...

Thank you so much for your input, it helped a ton. Thank you to everyone, too. I rarely post, as almost all questions seemed to be asked before and can be found by searching. I detail a couple pickups and large SUV's, but many times, the owners just want quickies. I wanted to give their paint...

I love all the recommendations! I've put several in my cart, but I'm not sure I can justify the Polish Angel's price! Maybe somewhere down the road I'll try that one if I feel like treating myself, lol. Please feel free to continue to chime in, I'll likely hold off until the weekend before...

Great question, I understand what you're saying. If I have a customer who just wants their car washed and lightly detailed, which spray wax or gloss enhancer (if that exists) can I use after washing to help the paint best pop. I understand that by not removing swirls and other defects, I'm...

Thanks for the quick tips, guys, I will check out both products and read some reviews. I hate even asking stuff like this, as I usually like to experiment with several products first. BUT, in this case, I was hoping someone bought 6 or 7 different products and put a gloss meter to them. Anyone...

Hi guys, I'm slightly embarrassed that I'm even asking this, as I'm typically not an "easy way out" detailer. BUT, here's the scoop: every once in a while, I get a vehicle where the owner just cares about saving money and I'd like to offer a spray wax option that gives the best gloss. I'm not...
