    WG Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 multiple coats?

    I corrected with WG Swirl remover and Uber and put on my first coat of WG Deep Gloss Paint Sealant and it looks fantastic to me. Is there any benefit of more than 1 coat in terms of protection/durability? The shine is great. Thinking about WG coating in the future but would like as much...

    Restoring/maintaining rubber window seals

    Thanks ronkh57 and Mike. I'm looking for a product that not just coats the surface but can work itself down below the surface and restore some of the properties of the rubber and not need to be used frequently but only once or twice a year. Gummi Pfledge looks like something to that...

    Restoring/maintaining rubber window seals

    I don't want to just re-blacken the rubber around my car's window as a dressing would but is there a product that would re-nourish and maintain the softness/moisture, sort of like a "lotion." The rubber is still in good condition but want to start maintaining it before it's too far gone and...

    Does headlight protective film prevent clouding after restoration?

    I just got the WG headlight restoration kit and have read that most headlight restorations need to be redone several times a year to maintain clarity. Will using one of the protective films (from Xpel or Lamin X) prevent the loss of clarity if I just used the WG headlight sealant at the end of...

    How to start fresh after 2 coats of DG Environshield?

    I just seriously started detailing my cars this summer; bought the Porta Cable DA and Duragloss system (Swirl Mark Remover, Pc. No. 2 and Environshield). Using both, I estimate 70% correction which was great compared to no prior detailing and years of hand washing but with light scratches on a...

    Polishing hard to get to parts.

    I polished for the first time this year using DG but want to do a more complete job using WG Uber or Swirl Remover on my '95 Land Rover Defender that has single stage Arles blue paint. The problem is, it has a roll cage that makes using a DA unfeasible under the windshield. That part of the...

    Beginner question on single stage vs clear coat paint

    Thanks. I just got a response from the Defender forum that Arles Blue is single stage although I don't remember any color transfer that was obvious when I used the DG polish.

    Beginner question on single stage vs clear coat paint

    First, I'd like to thank all of you on the forum as everyone has been very supportive, helpful and very friendly to all of my previous questions. I've learned a lot and unfortunately, have spent a lot as well; I got a PC 7242XP followed by a Flex 3401 with at least 30 pads of various sorts. I...

    Need cheap wheel cleaner

    Thanks for all of your suggestions. I'll try Meguiar's DUB first as it seems less harsh than Meguiar's Wheel Brightner. Though all factory wheels are coated, I'm worried that eventually the coating will be compromised in certain areas and the WB may damage it. Am I overthinking this? Also, I...

    Meguiar's D114 as Quick Detailer?

    Thanks for the response. Just another thought, if using as a QD, would D114 or D115 be better?

    Need cheap wheel cleaner

    I just used about 3/4 of a 16.6 oz spray bottle of the SONAX Wheel Cleaner Full Effect on my wife's SUV. They were quite dirty so I liberally sprayed them, waited about 4 minutes (cold wheels in the shade) until they looked as there were starting to dry, went at it with a Speed Master wheel...

    Meguiar's D114 as Quick Detailer?

    I want to get a cheap QD as I use a lot of it. I have ONR but read it does not have the lubricity common of most QDs and is not good as a QD at the specified dilution ratio. UWW+ is good but not cheap though it is on sale right now. Does anyone use Meguiar's D114 as a QD? If so at what...
