    Tire coating

    Well... there are some differences ;) The first one I used was Turtle Wax, can't remember what they called it. That stuff was awesome! It had a black dye in the coating, was really easy to apply and lasted a long time. For some reason they removed that product from the market ;( Then I...

    Blackest/Darkest (external) vinyl trim goop/coating?

    I love Solution finish. It did not win in the test Scott HD did, you might want to look at his videos when it comes to choosing products. He is really great at submiting a lot of products in comparative tests, and you can see the evolution of each products over time. I still use Solution...

    Small rant.

    Here we are also having strange weather. 90 degress for 2 weeks, then 53 degrees for a day or two. Completelly bonkers! We went pretty much from winter to summer then back to early spring within 3 weeks. Been doing ok on rain so far, pretty standard 2-3 days a week of light rain. We...

    did some 800 grit wet sanding..97 M3

    Holy crap 800!!! I hope you took paint depth readings before doing that! The lower grit I would go to on car paint is 1500. Then you have to work your way up: - 2000 grit - 2500 if you can but can be skipped - 3000 Then you need to compound the scratches out with a rotary if you have one...

    Tire coating

    I have not asked how I can get out more of the coating ;) I asked if there were any newer products that might be better than what I was using. Ask for cleaninest, what I am doing have worked well for me. I run a business, if I am to clean them times like you are doing and assuming that would...

    Best "One Step" product

    I have spent a lot of time trying to find the perfect one step polish. After watching a lot of comparative tests and reviews, my short list is : 1. Angelwax Regenerate : Never tried it, could not find it in stock when I did my last 1 step product purchase 2. Menzerna Medium Cut 2500 : The...

    Tire coating

    I do a 3 step cleaning: 1. Aggressive cleaning of the tire using a stiff brush and tire cleaner (Usually P&S Breakbuster or Meguiars Non-Acid Wheel and tire cleaner) 2. Normal wash of the vehicle including foam bath with a degreaser on the tires. 3. Invisible glass to do a final cleaning. When...

    Tire coating

    That is what I am using. This bottle was ordered a month ago so unless my retailer (Carzilla) had old products, it should be the latest version. So far I like that product. I still wish Turtle Wax had kept making their amazing tire coating... still sad about that ;)

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Today I have the day off (kinda, doing admin stuff) because it is raining. Been working 70 hours weeks for a month so I will enjoy slowing down a little ;) Yesterday I did this Beautiful Porshe Taican 2020. Interior detail, 2 year nano-ceramic coating with 1 step of polishing (used Rupes 21...

    Tire coating

    Hello guys, hope you are all doing well! I have not been on the forum for quite some time, will have to change that ;) I have been using McKee's Tire Coating for quite a while, probably 3 or 4 years now. Yesterday when I opened my new bottle to do the tires on my clients car, I had the bad...

    Compound selection after 2000 grit

    The one reason I can think of for switching from M105 would be the dusting. I never use it to compound a car. I just use it for wetsanding scratch marks removal, so because it's a very small area, I don't mind the little dust it creates. On a whole car though, what a pain!

    Waterless wash or just water

    No. I have used Optimum No-Rinse for about 8 years now. This summer I switched to McKee's 37 N-914. So far I can't really see a difference between the two when I use them (which is a very good thing). I decided to switch because N-914 doesn't leave any protection behind which makes it...

    PPF over BF AIO, a good idea or not?

    Coating over the PPF makes sense. The full correction looks like it doesn't.

    PPF over BF AIO, a good idea or not?

    I was shocked when I saw it. I was told the complete opposite, that PPF acted as a magnifying glass and made all imperfections stand out...

    Meguiars endurance tire gel question

    Not sure what is going on with the site but a lot of problems posting. It keeps reposting my first answer when I try to post a second one. Very odd.

    Meguiars endurance tire gel question

    My guess is the gel it too thick and doesn't finish well. By making it less viscous, you can apply a much thinner layer and get a better result.
