I have worked on many new cars and you would be surprised of which cars actually benefit from having the iron decontamination done. It’s not necessarily a deal breaker. But I like to know that it was done. That’s all. I will say this. One time, I forgot my clay at home. But I had Iron X on...

I have a Mille. This is the one thing I didn’t do. It always amazes me how different variables can (potentially) alter how the same task can be done. Paint Correction is quite a craft. As I am waiting for my wife in the parking lot, I saw a Maserati drive by with holograms. At least I know...

It is weird paint. Even though my job was to treat the paint with a one step. I did test out the paint with a two step approach. I used Hyper Compound to cut on a RUPES yellow foam pad. It was TOO aggressive. Then I tried the same pad, but with RUPES Zephir. That seem to have yielded the best...

+1 for the Optimum Clay Towel. I was using a Nanskin Mitt and that worked great. Truly any clay alternative will function similarly. High-End Paint Correction and Opti-Coat Ceramic Coatings * Portsmouth, NH

Claying will remove above surface contaminations that traditional washing won’t remove. It will also create a smooth touch of the paint. Additionally, as mentioned, an iron remover can also benefit the paint as well. When polishing, your pad is not having full contact with the paint...

Till this day, I still have yet to try these towels. How long have they been out? Lol. High-End Paint Correction and Opti-Coat Ceramic Coatings * Portsmouth, NH

On my old car. I had once left a high spot to experiment with it. To monitor it. For this particular ceramic coating (AG does not sell it) I was told that after some time that the high spot would fade away on its own due to the elements. This was information passed down to me from a company...

I used a fine polish, but not an ultra fine polish if that makes any sense. Yes, I did try to one step it. High-End Paint Correction and Opti-Coat Ceramic Coatings * Portsmouth, NH

I recently bought a Rolair VT25BIG air compressor to run my tornador black. It was a leap of faith. But it performs better than anticipated. It cranks 6.5CFM @90PSI Loads up fast and keeps up with the tornador. High-End Paint Correction and Opti-Coat Ceramic Coatings * Portsmouth, NH

INTERESTING. I would say that the Tesla I had yesterday was more hammered than that. But all in all, that looks great. How many passes? Which pad specifically? High-End Paint Correction and Opti-Coat Ceramic Coatings * Portsmouth, NH

I typically am a fan of CARPRO Clearcut & Essence. No longer in my stock currently. All in all, no problems on black Tesla paint? Word has it is that black Tesla paint is the softest one in production. Described as “SUPER SOFT”. High-End Paint Correction and Opti-Coat Ceramic Coatings *...

For the second time as a professional detailer, I felt defeated. I didn’t take pictures. But for the record the paint was HAMMERED with bush brushing on the sides etc...and it still is hammered. Just more refined. The goal was to prep the paint for a coating. Which technically I did. The the...

After watching the video: The first thing that came to mind is possibly the fact that polishing oils are still existing on the paint. Typically I wash my brand new towels also. But have also used fresh new ones no problem. But as someone had mentioned, some products don’t wipe off as clean...

Thanks Guz! That’s what I thought. But you never know. High-End Paint Correction and Opti-Coat Ceramic Coatings * Portsmouth, NH

I need to double check. This includes coatings as well? Or is that different? High-End Paint Correction and Opti-Coat Ceramic Coatings * Portsmouth, NH

Happened to my Subaru. They took a dry rag to the paint and swiped pollen across the paint. Even after my wife said, “My husband said not to wash it.” Failure to listen to customers request is...I’ll stop here. High-End Paint Correction and Opti-Coat Ceramic Coatings * Portsmouth, NH

As mentioned above, keep in mind that it is Honda paint. I have been successfully at removing swirls with RUPES yellow pad. It is known to be more like RUPES universal pad. It terms of polish. I have had success also with Keramik. But if you need more bite without going too aggressive. Try that...

First off, Welcome to the “Thunder Dome”! “Black is not a color. It is a full time job.”, as someone had said. Depending on how crazy you want to go depends on product selection. Knowing what I know now and taking into consideration that paint is thin; I would prefer to do the occasional...
