Adams last REALLY long on trim, but I have found the durability on tires to not make a difference regarding the polymers. It also makes trim nice , dark and dry. But on tires is more glossy unless wiped down with a towel afterwards. PERL strikes a nice balance, it has the performance similar...

When it comes to all out correction with a DA, nothing is more powerful or as fast as the FLEX. Their has yet to be a replacement. The Rupes is great , but you still have to finesse it to be effective on modern cars with convex and concave panels. The Flex will power through anything even...

Ultima Paint Gaurd Wash claims to make a PH-7 solution when mixed per the instructions. 3 gallons of water and 1 oz of product. That means filling your bucket with 3 gallons of water FIRST.... not putting an ounce in the bucket then blasting it with the hose and filling a bucket with suds and...

sounds like user error. sorry to be blunt. CQUK is insanely easy to apply and remove. you just need to really follow the directions and wipe it on, wipe it off. I personally dont even wait between application and removal. one panel at a time. CarPro could really use better directions on...

I totally agree !!!

Menzerna SF4000 and a 4" orange pad will make that spotless and clear. i have personally used that combo on dozens of gti's. Use medium pressure for the first 4 pass's, then make an additional 2 pass's with no pressure. Speed 4 on the polisher.

Try using Stoners Tarminator on the tires. spray it onto a MF applicator or towel and scrub it in, then rinse. you will be shocked at how much more crap you pull off the rubber. No matter how clean I think I got the tires, doing this last step really gets them clean with a very even finish...

If thats your white VW in the picture, the good thing is that color on the GTI in all my experience has a rock hard clearcoat. so you can go at it aggressively with the DA and you wont be putting any hazing or swirls in it with the wolfgang polish's. I taught my dad how to use a DA on his...

because polycarbonate (clear plastic) is extremely sensitive to solvents and alkaline cleaners. most all bug and tar removers contain one of these chemicals. And most manufacturers of products containing either chemical are responsible enough to state this on the product label. just look at...

i'm not surprised by the majority of results in this thread. Seems they are inline with Black label paint coating sheeting/beading as well. The prep should not be rocket science here, especially with a dedicated pre-coating polish.. My personal opinion is that the "ceramic nano-glass whatever"...

I REALLY like this shampoo. I pretty much have switched to it exclusively. As far as I know it foams very well. The things that stand out to me is the -thick lathery foam -tons of lubrication -unmatched cleaning strength I hate weak shampoo's that dont work well on road grime. perfect...

I have absolutely no doubt that when it comes to all out cut, the FLEX is the most powerful DA type of machine in the industry. the only thing more powerful and effective would be a rotary type polisher. Its a real treat to be able to cut out defects that would be impossible with a traditional...

Mark, yesterday I polished my car with a 1 step process using the Rupes Duetto with the washer mod. I am extremely impressed with this polisher. I really am. I'm surprised how much better it is than the LHR15 and LHR21. I was able to polish out the entire car with this machine, something...

swanicyouth, I dont think you should put this product in the back of your shelf. Its actually a really impressive product. I have a black bmw, so I found the easiest way to use this product is to dampen a MF towel, wring it out, and use it as your application towel, then follow up with a dry...

I just picked up a Duetto as well. I had to ditch the Rupes 21. I couldnt get it to work with Foam pads (rupes foam) on my 5-series bmw. The pad just wouldnt spin unless the panel was 100% flat. The washer mod helped, but I was able to cut out defects much faster and more effectively with...

SF4000 works great with an orange pad, it will actually remove quite a bit. I think you have the right idea. You may not even need to follow up with the gray pad depending on how hard or soft your paint is. I can use SF4000 and an orange Flat Lake Country pad on my BMW paint and it finish's...

if its a new car your best bet is to just buy new badges. they come with a template to center the badge and have new adhesive on the back that you just pull the tag off of and install into the template. nothing, and I mean nothing is worse than having a nice car with badges that arent plumb...

btw, i love that stool. i have the same one and find it to be priceless !

just buy both and test for yourself. Im not saying that to be a jerk, but I have always found the need to test towels for myself. Some towels that get a ton of praise on the forums, ive picked up and wondered what the heck everyone was talking about, and the same the other way around. Ive got...

I agree, the orange hybrid pad teamed up with the flex and slow arm speed can really tackle some serious defects. and the pad is super durable. I too found FG400 to correct better at a slower speed (speed 4 on the flex) and the polished just reacted better, easier to wipe off and less dust.
