I would not contact him unless you dont see the refund within the next few days. A response from him like that is totally unprofessional and shows the quality of his work. I have no respect for him whatsoever.
1. From my understanding the Ceramic Pro coating needs to be sanded off rather than...
I actually took your seriously and didnt think sarcasm personally. But could see how that could be interpreted. MOST people do not know how to wash or dry a vehicle properly. 25% or so of scratches and marring comes from the washing phase. 75% or so of scratches and marring comes from the drying...
Well, hand wash with the appropriate wash soaps, wash mitt (or multiple MF towels, one for each panel), and the most important item ----the drying towel. ONLY use a microfiber specific drying towel. DO NOT use a bath towel, or any other towel that is not specific for drying a car. ie.....if you...
To the OP --- I am so sorry this took place. Your 70k or so Yukon deserves much better than this person. I, throughout all the posts, saw numerous red flags.
1. Getting a car with even a light coat of dust on it after someone paying anything is unacceptable, unless your wife drove through a...
I do alot of high-end one -step vehicles. I primarily use my Flex 3401 due to complex curves on the vehicles. ( I do own a Rupes 21 MKII with a 5" backing plate). I have 2x GG 3", one for 2" pads for tight spots, and one with black 3" pads to apply Ammo SKIN and Carnauba or any other type of wax...
Hey buddy,
Great work with the Aston! The black metallic is the best paint IMHO they have. I unfortunately have the fast track "Jet Black" for my DB9. But I wasn't going to pass up an extremely rare manual DB9 just to get a slightly different paint. If the above are your steps in order, you...
I think a mini Flex might be too heavy and with the ability of using 5" pads and being able to TILT a Flex 3401, not too sure if one would be needed. I found that I didn't even use my NEW Rupes LHR 3" and ONLY broke it out just because it was new and I should use it. A piller to B Pillar areas...
Rupes iBrid has all you need, but very not cheap
I stripped all the wood out of my AMG then polished them with a 3" GG. Same steps as the car paint. The clear is soft. When I finished I applied 22ple coating to the clear. I also have applied several other brands of coatings. The coatings will...
Great to hear the pad choice!!!!!!! Definitely recommended. I spent hundreds on CCS, CG Octagons, Megs flat foam etc.... till I tried the Hybrid in 5". Perfectly awesome.
Menzerna FG400 might be the perfect product to use with the Orange cutting pad that will level the surface down while...
1. How long has it been since you had the vehicle re-painted?
2. If longer than 2-3 months, then you need to make sure the Paint is level again, like it was directly after the re-painting.
3. When the paint is completely level, that is almost the maximum gloss you can get, when scratches begin...
For the FLEX 3401 the HYBRID pad system with 5" pads are the best pads for the machine. They were specifically made for the 3401.
1. Get the LC backing plate system with the 4" plate that was mentioned above.
2. Get a combination of orange cutting and white finishing HYBRID pads for those two...
There is a whole bunch of misconceptions out there about coatings and what they are, how they function and their maintenance. I hope the below will help you understand the Hardness misconceptions.
A coating will not prevent normal swirls and bad washing methods. They possibly may prevent very...
The water spot issue point is that in order to get to the spots and correct them the panels must be heated up, so then you see them to correct them. (IE....under sun at car show they show up due to panel being heated up). That is the only way to make sure on a car with those issues that you...
Bryan,
I am glad this thread is starting to get some responses at least in question or understanding form.
Bryan, I own a 2005 Aston Martin DB9 black on black with the very very rare 6-speed manual. Its one of 20 first year cars for that model brought to the states w/ specific options. So a...
