I really miss having a white car lol Great job on the coating.

I would not polish more than once every two year to be honest. If it's a show car, it won't get driven a lot anyway. If it's a daily, you gotta balance clearcoat preservation with looks. Best thing to do is to improve your wash techniques.

There's too many to name to be honest.

There are some cars I like, some cars I don't. I haven't seen dogs yet that I don't like.

I agree with you 100 percent Paul. Never use the most aggressive method. For example in Interiors, I 99 percent of the time don't use APC. My favourite cleaner of choice is McKee 37 Rinseless wash in an IK foamer at a 1:65 dilution ratio and a soft brush. Let dwell for a minute or two then agitate.

Hey fellow Canadian! Acura is correct, Iron X the car and then re-apply. I don't know how much salt they use in Newfoundland but I know here in Ontario, nothing in the PA line will survive the salt. Just from personal experience. The best thing to do IF you were to drive this thing outside is...

Damp towel. I mean spraying water on the towel does the same thing.

This is how I apply any SiO2 spray product. I dont apply any of it on a towel by itself.

Nice work! How would you rate the graphene coating for application and ease of use? Which coating have you used is this most close to in terms of application?

No, it has nothing to do with whether or not it's water based. It's because you're giving the solvent more liquid to try to dry off or flash and leave the streaks behind. Basically, it gives you more time because now there's more liquid to dry, so you're buying yourself more buffing time.

I would suggest having the towel damp with cold water. Then give the towel one spritz per panel you apply it too. Have a seperate towel for a buff off afterwards. Then with your damp towel that has some product on it (don't spritz anymore on) when you're done with the whole car, go ahead and if...

I agree with Paul. If I could talk to myself back when I started, I would've spent the money on the Zentool 21mm I have, then a good 3 inch mini polisher off the bat. Then again hind sight is always 20/20

I think for paint that old, microfiber is almost a necessity. If not just for the hardness of a lot of those paints but also the massive amounts of residue and build up from embedded dirt.

Try using it. If your clay starts crumbling tiny pieces off bit by bit as you use it, it's gone bad.

Depends on what you do too. If you get into coatings and the like, you're gonna a need a buffer for sure.

Creme should actually be quite durable. It has a strong enough solvent in it that's basically acts like paint thinner. Carnauba always worries me in a product when it comes to durability.

Washed both cars. McKee 37 N917 in an IK foamer for some suds.

This makes me wonder if perhaps they need to re-think whatever their testing process is. I know they turn out great products, I have a G8 that I use for a lot of things.

I don't normally like BMWs (Just the head lights get to me for some reason) but I got some giddiness out of seeing the condition of your black paint.
