    Something better than aquapel?

    That wasn't my experience.... we have tested that product on several applications and were disappointed every time. Sticking to Aquapel until something better comes along.

    Is this calcium buildup? If so, how do I remove it?

    Would not trust any ceramic coatings to protect against rust or corrosion. That's not what they are designed to do. They are way too thin, not enough mass to protect. Talking about clear WOWO ceramic coatings such as CQ, etc.(not talking about sprayable ceramic coatings designed for high heat...

    Compounding when there’s touch up paint on hood...

    Just go over them. You'll be fine. It's a buffer, not an angle grinder. I don't think I've ever "polished off" or stripped touchup with a buffer. Even with a rotary and wool pad. That paint is cured harder than you think.

    Menzerna Powerlock Prep

    I agree with Bob. Depending on the color or aggressiveness of the clay bar, you may mar the paint in the process. Soft paint mars easily. Inexperience also leads to marring that you might otherwise avoid or minimize. I always polish after clay bar.

    MK360 or HDSpeed on 19 Black Silverado

    HD Speed is my favorite "fast" product. I am sure alot of it is just fillers, but man can it shine up a car and make it look great from a distance. Not everybody has the time or budget to do a real correction.

    1963 Porsche 356B 'S'

    Nice work mate. Those cars can be tricky to work on. The only thing that's more time consuming than correcting them is doing PPF on them. Always a challenge with all the curves and the amount of trim and hardware that needs to be masked or worked around. The nice part is Porsche paint corrects...

    Q: ceramic over xpel...overkill?

    Honestly. All the best PPF installers in my area just come, wash the vehicle, clay bar, IPA and start wrapping. Some quick touch up paint if needed. Never had any issues. These are people who have done this for 15+ years and do all the exotic car dealerships in the area. True PPF artists. Never...

    Your goto undercarriage spray?

    What's the reason you want to spray the undercarriage? Is it for winter/salt/road chemical protection? If that's the objective, then Fluid Film is easily one of, if not the best products. It's a wet coating so it never dries, creeps into every crevice, and attracts dirt. Will keep the chassis...

    Sonus Motorkote for undercarriage protection?

    Fluid Film, Amsoil Heavy Duty Metal Protector, or Boeshield T9 is what I would use for undercarriage. Been doing it for years and great results.

    Best clay mitt / towel?

    Have you guys found any of these "clay pads" or "clay mitts" that do not mar the living crap out of the paint? A few years ago, we strictly used the Nanoskin round decontamination pads (around 6-7" diameter if I had to guess) with a velcro backside designed to use on a DA. We used them by hand...

    Masking for Iron-X

    Spray everything. Don't let it dry on the surface. Stop worrying about it so much. You'll be just fine. Don't believe everything you hear on the internet.

    ATTN Dent Repair Business Owners. How can I hire dent repair employees or find business partners?

    It's funny how everybody's PDR guy is "incredible" and "the best" haha. I hear that all the time. You're either good at PDR or you're not. That's the way I see it. We had a good guy that made easy work of most dents but he moved to the other side of the country and now we can't find anybody...

    Compound with the most cut

    I like M100. Menz FG and Megs 101 are too long working and more oily/difficult to remove. They might have more cut but there hasn't really been a car at the shop where M100 didn't do the job with relative ease so I don't bother with the other products
