    Ceramic coating over protective film

    According to Xpel's own FAQ, you can apply Ceramic Coating over their film. They mention no issues with the warranty. They go on to mention that it won't stop the self healing properties of the film. If the coating is thick it may need to wear away and then the film will self heal. That is, the...

    Ceramic coating over protective film

    Thanks. I read your review on Carpro's product: Review - CarPro Skin PPF & Vinyl Wrap Coating Thanks for posting that review. Was a little strange that the removal solution that they speak of is not on the market and you need to call and speak to them about this (if someone were to call, they...

    Ceramic coating over protective film

    Just had xpel protective film put on my car and want to coat it with ceramic coating. Any thoughts? I've put ceramic coating on other parts of the vehicle already. As I understand it the xpel film is not very slick so the coating does this and also helps protect the film to some degree. I'm...

    One Way To Apply Plastic/Runner Protector

    I mainly use 303 Aerospace Protectant on the interior of my vehicles. It provides good UV protection and leaves a matte finish. I've applied it many different ways. All of them required that the product be applied or immediately wiped off with a rag. I've not switched to the following method. I...

    3D Prints for Detailing

    I am not 100% sure what you are asking. The two tools I made as mentioned here I'd say are better used for carpets and seats. Both pick up debris very well. The wide one is also good for extraction (water and the like). Would also be good for a rear deck, above the rear seats. A roll of...

    3D Prints for Detailing

    I just used the crevis tool today. Worked very well. Only downside was that vacuum tube fit on the outside of the tool. It was the perfect shape to get between placed like the seat and door. Worked well in general on carpets as well. I like these tools better then and attachment I've bought.

    3D Prints for Detailing

    I was thinking about something like that. Focus the blower down to a smaller, wider area might be good. Yesterday I printed up a crevice tool for my shop vac. Had 3 false starts in that I thought I could print it up without a raft or supports. Nope. I did not realize that the opening I was...

    3D Prints for Detailing

    Yes, I used PLA. It is rock solid (I used 20% infill and cubic for the infill pattern as it is pretty solid). I just used it quickly today to quickly vacuum some car mats and the carpet. Worked well. Today I'll print up a crevice tool and see how it works. Shop Vac Attachments by mklange -...

    3D Prints for Detailing

    Well, I used one of the prints today. It is a vacuum attachment for my shop vac. I had printed it to try out on the carpeting but just a few hours ago I decided it might be a good time to pressure wash the Bed Rug in the bed of my truck. I used the tool to extract the water. Worked _perfectly_...

    Kranzle New “Swirls Free” Car Wash Method

    I'm not seeing a problem. Your drag a brush over the dirt and grit filled wheels and and then finish the rest of the car. He then went over the paint and washed away all of the dirt that was ground into the paint. It's not like he left it on there. Should be titled... how to wash 100 cars in...

    3D Prints for Detailing

    I agree. I'd not buy one just to print detailing items but if you have one, I think it would be useful for this. I've had them the past couple of years. I started with a Tevo Tarantula and just bought a Creality CRS-10 Pro. The Pro _rocks_! So I've printed a ton of stuff with it. I have been...

    For those of you who have a Forced DA, when you you reach for your Rotary ?

    I'm a little different. I bought the Flex PE8 just for small spaces. Try getting a Flex 3401 into a tight/small space.

    Which MicroFiber Detergent You Use?

    At least with regular detergent, the enzymes start to breakdown after a year. It will continue to clean but at 12 months it starts to loose it's effectiveness.

    Which MicroFiber Detergent You Use?

    Tide Free and Clear. Have used other brands of Free and Clear as well. All seems to work the same. I just don't see the need to invest in a limited use product when Free and Clear can be used on MF as well as all of my other stuff.

    LED Light Setup

    Read a prior thread on LED lights and ordered up the parts. It was cheaper to buy 4 120w/18w LED flood lights so I went ahead and ordered an extra set of clamps and light sockets so that I could use all 4 at the same time. Only drawback to this set up is plugging in all of the light. But a a...

    Flex Backing Plate - Lake County - FIX

    I don't like poo poo'ing on a product but I also think people should know the truth... and for information as to how to make the best of the product. I've owed the 4" Lake County backing plate for about a year now. I have probably used it 40 or 50 times. It is a great product except for one...

    Feel like I was duped here with detailing and ceramic coating

    I read through several pages but I must admit, not all of them. IMHO, I saw two problems with the initial job... there was not enough correction and someone did not correctly buff out the ceramic coating. There were high spots _all over_ the paint. Either they did not allow it to flash correctly...
