    My first "big kid" ceramic coating

    I finally gathered up the courage to do a "real" coating. I mean me and my (few) customers have been more than happy with the witches brew of hybrid ceramic coatings I come up with, and I always prep their car like they were getting a true coating anyway. I just needed to take that next step in...

    I'm going to be dumb this weekend..I need a brain

    Its a "special" product from the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions line. Both products are black colored and there is some "filler" on them to make the black look even slicker

    I'm going to be dumb this weekend..I need a brain

    So this being my first weekend off work in a while, I'm gonna be nice to my dad at my own expense. Seems like a good time to get his black infinity ready for the hot sun. So here's the dumb plan I came up with. 1) wheels and tires,2)cleaner wash 3) clay 4) restore all the black trim 5)panel...

    Anyone top Griots Spray ceramic with Caranuba?

    You should have no problem using it as a Topper. But the ceramic always needs to be first on the paint otherwise it's not going to bond to anything. I personally use Chemical Guys butter wet wax as a Topper on every car I do, it adds a little more protection as the ceramic cures and it just...

    Ceramic coat on guitars...

    Please don't do that to your guitar. The wood needs to resonate for tone and breath. The ceramic will choke that off. Top 5 Peter Green Jerry Garcia Trey Anastasio Duane Allman Warren Haynes A Les Paul theme for sure

    What did you do today non-detailing related?

    Laid in bed and cried all night because I finally figured out that this whole time my dad was right and I'm never going to be a real man

    Am I crazy or is this for real?

    I understand, reading is hard when there is a lot of words. Thanks anyway. I don't know why I'm trying to figure this out. I can't fix it cause anything that would have fixed it, didn't

    Am I crazy or is this for real?

    So after doing my dad's Audi already where the previous owner took it to a gas station car wash once a month for 10 years he asked me if I could do his Honda CRV.

    I think Groits doesn't like me tonight

    Oh yeah, totally. This stood out a bit to me cause literally I just took it out of the box. That was the first time it touched paint in its short life, and could only handle 3 section passes. I gotta say pad failure. I don't see any other possibility

    I think Groits doesn't like me tonight

    Hi, I'm Uncle Dan, I'm new but don't worry, I do not age well on people. So I'm in the middle of this nightmare correction on this CRV (story and tip requests will be on their way) So I got groits red/white thin microfiber pad on my long-throw, using Megs 105. The 2 of them already met, hung...
