Foam cosmetic wedges work well for applying coatings and dressings into tight tricky areas. These are readily available at any Walgreens, CVS, Wal-Mart, or any other retailer that sells cosmetics. They are cheap and disposable. Just do an internet search for “cosmetic wedges” and you’ll see...

Not to derail this thread, but do you feel that iron removers are unnecessary and dare I say “snake oil?”

It was a joke. Merry Christmas everyone!

Interesting, I’ve never heard of “Car Candy” before. Don’t care for their name or logo personally. Good luck to Meghan though…

Buying a Corvette back in 2001 is what got me serious about detailing too [emoji6]. Welcome aboard theTown! (and yes, I still own and enjoy the corvette)

It’s a winter wonderland out on my deck this morning in Southern Wisconsin.

Finished coating another Dodge this weekend that was pretty trashed. Two step paint correction using my Boss G15 w/Griots Fast Correcting Microfiber Pads + 3D One, followed by my Flex 3401 w/LC White Force Pads also with 3D One. Coated with Artdeshine Nano Graphene Coating.

Finished up coating this Charger SRT Hellcat w/ Artdeshine Ceramic Metal Oxide. Polished with Polish Angel Master Polish on LC White Force Pads followed by Gyeon Primer on CarPro Gloss Pads. Could probably use a little PA High Gloss after the coating is fully cured [emoji6].

Finished coating my first C8 detail today with Artdeshine Ceramic Metal Oxide V2.

Sweet ride and great work!

Gtechniq HALO Flexible Film Coating Could give this coating a try on your vinyl tonneau cover. I just bought some for my vinyl wrapped car but have not installed it yet, so I can’t share any personal experience. Reviews are very good though.

You can actually do a light polish on the vinyl which is how I was planning to remove whatever I put on it as temporary protection. That or use something like a CarPro Gloss Pad (super soft) and a mild cleaner like Polish Angel Escalate Lotion. Will have to do more research on what chemicals...

I don’t know about a “cult following” Mike [emoji1787], but I think he has earned a lot of respect due to his knowledge, experience, and professionalism. He is a good example of how a pro should run his shop IMHO.

I have used Artdeshine’s Ceramic Metal Oxide on several vehicles now and it is excellent. Brian worked with Artdeshine to tweak the formula for improved water spotting performance. Acid rain and very hard water seem to be a problem in your area. It is not where I live here in Wisconsin...

Just picked up my newly wrapped (now one of a kind) Lincoln yesterday and need to get some protection on the vinyl for a trip to Detroit next week for the 100th anniversary of Lincoln. I’ve ordered Gtechniq’s Halo coating, but won’t have it in time. I want to stick with an easy ceramic type...

Ziva is a really cool looking dog Big Dave!

That is your opinion, it is not a fact. Not trying to pick a fight with you but just wanted to point that out. My experience with some of the coatings I have tried is not the same as yours.

I think your location has a lot to do with this issue. I can’t offer any specific advice, other than to make an observation that your geography and weather in your part of the world seems to make a big difference. I don’t experience any water spotting issues in my area. Have you experimented...

Turned a trashed soccer Mom’s luxury SUV back into a proper Supercharged Exotic. Lots of french fries, candy wrappers and glitter in all the cracks and crevices in the interior of this one! Uro fiber pads, 3D One, Flex 3401 used for 1-step paint enhancement with a small amount of hand wet...
