Hey all, So I just acquired a Tornador Black. Never used anything like it. Seems very promising. Essentially planning on using it mostly for interior detailing. Fabrics. Leathers. Trim and other difficult to clean areas. Looking for some advise on the right dilution ratios for common...

So I have gallon of Optimun Power Clean, Meguiars D108 Super Degreaser, and the new Meguiars D107 Citrus Power Cleaner Plus Was wondering what people use each product for, assuming they have all three?? Standard things sure, but what about other random applications, or household uses for each...

Would you ever lightly use a claybar or autoscrub on a car that is coated? Any real downsides to doing that as far as the coating is concerned? I ask because I did a complete full wash the other day on my coated car. No decontamination soap, and no iron X, etc. Just used my standard rinse...

Yes Indeed I do. I do CR spotless rinse, blow dry 85% of the water off paint and out of the difficult cracks. Completely blow dry the wheels. Then I have been using one of a few different products for maintenence drying aides. My car is Coated with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra/Exo so I use...

Hey all, Just a quick poll, question, inquiry... On wheels with a ceramic coating applied, are there wheel cleaners that should be avoided? Yes, I understand soap and water should be enough, but sometimes I dont want to pull out the full buckets and perform a full wheel wash. Would love to...

Anyone using the new D107 APC+ compared to 101 or other APCs??

If I am going to all this trouble and expense to take the wheels off and coat it myself, I will definitely care of the coating beads/protects and washes the dust off. I have no idea how the existening coating will interact with a new coating applied directly on top of it if it isnt removed. No...

This definitely seems like a viable option. I've never used the product before. Thanks for the advice, I reached out to Dr. Beasleys to see if that matte paint cleaner would be safe/effective for the wheels.

So the wheels are standard Porsche 911 GTS wheels. Matte black. Centerlocks. Personally, I love the look. However, its definitely a pain in rear for Porsche gearheads due to the ~$400 torque wrench/breaker bar combo usually recommended to get off the wheels. Let alone any cost that goes into...

Hey all, Just a quick question to see what people may recommend. What would be a safe and effective way to remove a coating that was applied to a wheel? Reason why I ask: I have a 911 GTS with centerlock wheels. When I had the car professionally paint corrected, wrapped, and coated a few...

Hey all, Just a quick query to see if Ultima Waterless Wash + works well with ceramic coated cars? Anyone with experience with this product on coated cars specifically? Thoughts? Cheers, W

Good stuff here. So I was wondering the other day if I hadn't gone with the EXO topcoat, what the results would look like. In your experience, whats the real life difference in look and functionality between the Crystal Serum Ultra alone, and when its topped with EXO? Water spotting and...

So what would be the recommended touch-up process for someone who has light swirls, marring, and scrathes to their ceramic coated car?? I presume this is why a product like Carpro Essense plus exists? Any other solutions?

So question: Can you reuse Ech2o/water mixture after you are done with your rinselss wash just like ONR? I have seen plenty of people just leave their ONR mixture in the bucket with their sponge for the next time. When water levels approach grit guard, they dump it, rinse bucket, and refill...

So this is definitely the take home point I have after my experience with my expensive paint correction and coating. I think I will be moving away entirely from quick detail sprays or even waterless washes. I still would like to have a quick process/routine to touch up a panel at at time, in...
