Should be an awesome writeup if you get the job Guz! :-p

Iron-X full strength.

I probably wouldn't have used a product designed for cold harsh climates in Arizona in June for starters. I think Frank's advice is your best shot.

That's my process, Unicorn Tears (Folex) hasn't failed me yet. I'm not in favor of using anything in the water tank because I don't want anything being deposited into the carpets.

Those look like they could be some sort of water or mineral damage. Try a little bit of light abrasive polish on a microfiber towel, I bet they come right out.

That's the same number for Dominos right? I really love me a 3am pizza....

I'd use it as a test panel to learn how to wetsand. You can't make it (much) worse so why not see what happens? If you burn the clear, so what? That part of the car already needs to be repaired in a body shop anyway, so what's the harm in playing around with it?

Pics would be helpful. Are they clear coated? I'd give a call to the manufacturer and see what they say.

Maybe I'm missing something. If you can't see the swirls then what's the problem? What are you looking for? My wife has a pearl white Mazda and I love it cos it's so easy to keep clean without having to worry about swirls.

John, don't beat yourself up, we all start somewhere. Don't really know what the VSS product is or what it's supposed to do, but a lot of Chemical Guys products don't do what they are supposed to do and don't do what they show them doing in their fancy Youtube videos. Unfortunately, you're...

First off, the coating will NOT protect against marring from a car cover. I am vehemently anti-car cover for this reason: always have been, always will be. If he's going to insist on using a car cover, he's going to have to learn to live with the scratches that will inevitable find their way...

I had a pearl white Optima and loved the paint on that car. Since you are working on 3 different cars, including a black Honda which can be a little challenging and want to stay cost effective I would do the following: 1) Wash however you want: 2-bucket or rinse less, just make sure you have...

Haha, enjoy the color of your car the way it is supposed to be!!!! :buffing::buffing::buffing:

How old is the repaint? If this is fresh paint, less than 30 days old, then I think you are actually being too aggressive with your polishing. Like Mike, I am not a fan of the Chemical Guys line of polishes. Not bashing the company as they do make a few truly excellent products, I just feel...

Grab a DA, whichever one you choose will work fine, some Lake Country green polishing pads, some HD Speed and some clay. Give you the car a clay bar treatment twice a year and go over it quick with Speed. Use a spray wax after regular washings and the car will look good for as long as you own it.

Yes, Corvette paint in particular is known as being some of the hardest paint out there. The thing that sucks is the body panels are made of fiberglass so you can't use a paint thickness meter on them. Since this car is a 2001, you most likely don't know the history of it. What I would do if I...

Second, when I got my new (used) car in June last year, I didn't have time to do a proper wash and sealant on it until the following spring. Rinseless washes with Midnight Sun spray wax as a drying aid made the black paint super slick and shiny and got me through a New York winter.

Agree, there is some sort of sodium derivative chemical in dedicated tire cleaning products that is not found in regular degreasers and all-purpose cleaners. I used to use Bleche-white too but stopped because I had read about it degrading the leather with chlorine. I use a product called...

Even the beading shots they advertise with on Facebook aren't all that impressive so why would you waste your time? To me, this is comparable to spending $1800 to have someone put 14 coats of Ceramic Pro 9H on my car. *eye roll*

Jedi mind tricks never really worked for me :-p Sometimes if you're lucky the towel will "stick" to a vertical panel. Otherwise you're doing the waiting game.
