    Bug Removal

    If you have a coated vehicle, I recommend CarPro BugOut. I only use it when I have a lot of dried bugs or recent heavy bug periods. Spray it on about 2 minutes prior to washing the affected area and the regular wash will take care of 90+% of the bugs. I just rewash with firmness to get any...

    Mud, Bugs, Bird Crap, Tar, and now a 5th... which requires a visit to my detailer.

    My list of progressively bad things to ruin a nice clean car has just grown. I can now add cement sling to my list. A month ago I passed through a concrete construction zone and didn't realize it until a couple weeks later that I got concrete slung along both sides of the car. Now it's caked on...

    I used 3D BDX on my toilet.. (pics)

    Many thanks to Eric 7810 for coming up with this solution. I've had success removing iron stains with Soft Scrub and a stiff brush on my fiberglass tub, but I haven't been successful with that solution for the toilet. Interestingly enough, neither BDX nor CarPro IronX were successful in...

    Ceramic maintenance spray

    Americana Global - Detail Spray - Ceramic Pro Ceramic Pro recommends this product. It's more than a detail spray as it leaves something behind. I tried it on my Ceramic Pro coated car after detailing it early April. Easy to apply and it's still going strong at this point. I'm hopeful for 2-3...

    FINALLY - Looking into Ceramic Coatings!

    Have you tried CarPro DQUARTZ CO Nano? Sounds like it's the next generation of CQUARTZ. They apparently took the professional application and made a similar product for the enthusiast. If it lives up to the promotional materials (which is where many products fail) it is a great product.

    Length of ceramic coating

    After many years, I lost my enthusiasm for polishing and coating, mainly because I don't have the expertise or patience to do it right. In the spring of 2019, I purchased a new SUV for my wife. I is driven about 17-18k miles per year, in all four seasons. I didn't know much about ceramic...

    Are detailer's anal and critical??

    I'm just an old-geezer enthusiast who gave up on polishing because it took too much time and effort to get it right. Now I pay for the polishing service and have resorted to reading too many posts on this forum and "pretending" what I would buy if were a detailer. All the while learning about...

    CarPro Waterless Wash as a Rinseless?

    Thanks for the quick and thoughtful responses (brain fart excepting...but we all have those, so you're excused). I can confirm that my question is about the ECH20...I'm still getting used to the CarPro product names vs. generic. You guys gave me the info that I was hoping for and i'll be using...

    CarPro Waterless Wash as a Rinseless?

    I'm new to the CarPro line having just used the Reset product for my ceramic coated car and I'm sold on it. i just purchased a few other CarPro products, including the waterless wash primarily for use as a quick detailer. Although winter is behind, it's still on my mind. I prefer a rinseless...

    New Tint Installed - How do I protect the film from scratches

    I've never had a problem with film scratching, and never cleaned the channel. On a previous car, I complained about bubbles in the drivers side film. It turned out those were nicks caused by my seat belt buckle hitting the window. I have another car that was tinted 18 months ago, and I also have...
