Durability is actually quite good in my opinion. last time I applied it was in January, and the tires have since been through a few snow storms and some rain. The shine lasted a little over a month and a half (like I had just applied PERL that same day). In march, the shine started to fade but...

I'm thinking of returning my Nanoskin Fine wash mitt (as the rubber doesn't look right, although I've been told it's fine. Bought from Amazon): Thinking of picking up the Griot's version instead.

I use CarPro Perl on my tires with great results. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Yeah I don't think you'll have a problem. It will go even faster if you have a second set of hands to help, depending on the size of what you're wrapping. I was also thinking if wrapping the roof of my range rover sport, but not sure what color/pattern to go with since the vehicle itself is...

I've wrapped a few vehicle roofs before, and also some interior trim pieces on some vehicles. I've never used any sort of lubricant for the process. Only used a heat gun/hairdryer and an application squeegee of some sort to get air bubbles out. My process was to peel some of the backing off...

Chemical guys New Car Scent is spot on if you're looking for that new car smell. Spray it in the vehicle's carpet and you're good to go. Only downside is it only lasts about 1.5 weeks. I've tried the Meguairs air purifier (new car scent) but it left some sort of weird smell in my car whenever...

Yep I agree! I got mine for $90!The money I save I can use towards the pads. Just need to figure out which pads to use (going to be using the Blackfire SRC Finishing polish). First time buying my own polisher/pad system.

Yep! I was initially going to buy the PC, but then I read a forum member's comment on one the many threads on the PC vs GG 6 here at AG, and his point made me decide to go with the GG instead. I can't remember what thread it was, or which member, but in short: GG Has more power, and also has...

If you'd like to save some cash on a polisher, Autopia Car Care has some Open Box Sales going on in their forum for some polishers. I just picked up a GG 6 for $90! I think they have a PC 7424XP for $80 (obo). You may want to check it out so you can save some cash. Sent from my SM-G930T using...

Another update. I actually picked up a Griot's Garage 6 (Open Box) from Autopia Car Care for $90! So the search for finding a place where I can use the polisher begins! I wasn't planning on picking one up since I didn't have a place to use it, but the price was just too tempting, so I jumped on...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Your thoughts and opinions have been enlightening. To update, I wasn't able to detail the exterior of my vehicle over the weekend due to sketchy weather, Although I did clean up the interior. After reading everyone's thoughts, what I am now thinking of doing...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. The more I think about it, and after reading everyone's more experienced opinions, maybe I am better off sticking with just a sealent since I can't machine polish at this point in time. I do have the blackfire wet diamond sealant and blackice wax that I can...

The paint is free of defects, it was professionally detailed a while back, so the paint is in good condition. With regards to using the gloss enhancing polish, isn't that what the crystal coat paint prep is for? To remove any oils that may have been left behind? well from the readings I've...

Thanks for the advice! This will be my first time applying a coating. I decided to go with Blackfire because I have previously used some of their products and liked them more than others so decided to stick with their brand. I have been reading up on the application process on the forum and...

Thanks! Yeah at the moment I don't really have anywhere to use a machine to polish because I live in an apartment, and while they have a car wash area, there's no electric outlets nearby where I can plug a machine in. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Thanks! Yeah I've used a clay bar before and never really liked it, so when I saw this product I had to give it a try! This is the process that I'm considering using: 1. Wash and clean wheels with Sonax 2. Wash with Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II Super Suds (using a foam blaster) 3. Iron X 4...

New member here. Been detailing my own vehicles for a while now, but just starting to realize how many different options/products are out there! I'm planning on detailing the exterior of my 2010 Range Rover Sport (black) this weekend, and was hoping to get everyone's input on my detailing...

Thanks for the confirmation! Glad I can stick with this one :-) would have ruined my detailing plans for the weekend if I had to return it!

How does this one look? It looks better than the first but still has some irregular patterns. Is this what a normal wash mitt looks like?

Yep, I sent it back to Amazon and placed an order for a fine grade wash mitt. Hopefully that one turns out to be fine. On another note, I'm not sure why the pictures in my first post aren't showing up. They aren't in my imgur account either (which I used to upload the pics to). Can't repost...
