Thank you, I was looking for this. The general item descriptions of both say to "power wash off" so I couldn't remember which one was which Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

@ZRX61 This is what you need! An acid will help dissolve the mineral deposits stuck in the crevices. An alkaline degreaser won't touch those. If you don't have a water spot remover like 3D Eraser Gel, try spraying on some vinegar and agitating with your brushes. Then neutralize with water or a...

Bumping this thread to talk about pre-soak foams some more. :bump: To those that have used both of the BH pre-foams, which one is better if you are not rinsing with a power washer? I'm working on a beer keg pressure sprayer project and will soon be going almost 100% rinseless (CA water...

Yeah, my experience with the BOSS polishes is the same. Very thick and creamy consistency. I think I recall reading about some other people experiencing a runny batch of product though. If that's the case, Griot's customer should be able to sort that out and get a proper product to those with a...

Hey! I think I responded to your post on reddit with some suggestions like the SDO pads and Griot's BOSS polishes. I will stand by those recommendations here too! Here's an example. This is my Nissan SUV with super soft gloss black paint. I corrected it early last year with my G9 with 5"...

Nice BRZ. Definitely gotta be one of the best enthusiast buys out there right now.

SiC is awesome. Take your time to figure out the wipe off window. I set a timer and checked every minute or so. In ~75 degree weather with fairly low humidity it was about 7-8mins for me. The resulting finish is insanely slick. I had the older formula (TiO2) go for over a year on a single...

In the forced rotation camp there is another choice as well, the Makita PO5000C. I have one and it's been my only experience with forced rotation thus far, but I love the thing. It is similar to the Mille in that it has a smaller orbit (5.5mm for the Makita, 5mm for the Mille). I actually like...

I have not used Gliss unfortunately. SiC has the advantage of being able to layer over UK within a 1 hour timeframe, whereas Gliss was a 4 hour wait. SiC can be a little tricky to time the wipe off though, I had to wait around 8 minutes to wipe off. Gliss I believe is a wipe on/wipe off process...

If I have to keep topping a coating to extend its life, then I feel that the coating didn't have a long enough lifetime and durability for my needs. Topping somewhat defeats the purpose IMO. I will top with a lighter ceramic quick detailer type of product for gloss (and the fun of it)...

Sounds like you need a priming/transfer pump to step up the water pressure going in to the pressure washer.

To get the true longevity and characteristics out of a coating they do need to be periodically "decontaminated". While a coating is an awesome and durable thing, it's far from bulletproof. I don't subscribe to the thought that a good coating needs constant toppers and SiO2 this and that. Only...

A man of great taste I see. Is that the 35th edition? Looks great.

If you want to take a step towards the world of coatings, Gyeon Can Coat (Evo) is a much loved entry level type coating, for very good reason. It has outstanding performance and durability while being nearly as easy to apply as any spray sealant. I've used it on a few vehicles and really...

I'll take the Integrale, please :drool:

Have you checked any warranty materials for your car? I think some GM products have a 6-year paint warranty. This seems like manufacturer defects in the paint quality and wouldn't be the first time a GM product has had issues like this. The only thing that can truly fix this is a full repaint...

I went with one of Mike P's most recommended towels and now I have a couple dozen of them. The Rag Company FTW (For The Windows) towels. They are a twist-loop weave like a Griot's PFM but with a lower nap. I use them for almost every paint-related task. They are awesome for polish removal...

Yeah I see using D180 almost solely as a "conditioner" or LSP for leather surfaces, or for general maintenance of leather surfaces that don't need much more than a quick vacuum to clean. For cleaning, I'm still a huge fan of P&S Xpress on basically every hard surface. I also had an impulse buy...

I received this package on Monday, thanks Eldorado!! I gave it a small test run on the back seats of my GLI. To me Meg's D180 smells like a cross between their Natural Finish interior dressing and the Quik Interior Detailer, both of which I use regularly because I love the way they finish the...

Lol I'm glad someone else does this too. Can't have the sidewalls dragging and destroying the even tire shine I applied!
