Never used their Honeydew. For cleaning power the Citrus Wash red was the best but it looks like they discontinued it. It had no waxes or silicones so it was great for coated cars. I'm pretty sure Citrus Wash and Clear is it's replacement. Hard to tell with Chemical Guys sometimes...

Mr. Pink is one of their weaker soaps as far as cleaning ability, I have found. I would try CarPro Reset or Chemical Guys Citrus Wash at higher concentration. Iron-X snow soap would also be a good choice. Most likely your coating is contaminated in those areas and needs a thorough cleaning to...

I can respect that. It sounds like you have the best possible way of covering the car since you *must* cover it. I did work on a buddy's race car, and it lives inside a working auto shop so he keeps it covered too, just because keeping it clean would be next to impossible if he didn't. I have a...

You should wait forever to put the car cover on because car covers are terrible. That is my opinion.

This is the reason I am FIRMLY anti-car cover. Nice work! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

See you there Mike, can't wait!

I voted both. I was in the same camp as Jeff, money is money, whatever people want to have done I was willing. Now that I have the little one running around and I'm finishing up on grad school on top of working a "real" full time job, my free time is super precious to me. So unless it's someone...

The birds always manage to land their dropping right where there is some sort of seam that makes it super tough to get out. It's like they know....

On a Corvette, probably not due to hard paint. Because it's a dark color though, you might see a benefit to a second step polishing before the sealant. No way to know really without trying. Speed 6 is your friend on the Griots working on a Corvette. Make sure to mark the backing plate so you...

I do this as well. I find something like a blue "woobie" towel that is damp but not soaking wet with rinse less wash solution helps prevent towel induced marring on soft paint.

First thing I would do is take a paint thickness reading. It will at least give you an idea of what is there. If the readings come back really low, it might be the beginning of strike through. My other thought is that you might be going too aggressive. I'm not a fan of M105 personally. Yeah it...

I agree with Ron. Don't buy into claims of increased scratch resistance with a coating. I've never seen it play out that way in real life. Of those in your list, I've used PBL with good results. I had no issues with durability. That type of problem usually results from improper care of the...

Yup, Autogeek rocks for stuff like that. Total Polish and Seal is a very light abrasive product and Corvettes are known for having hard paint systems. You will most likely need a more aggressive compound to remove your defects. Here's an example. The picture in my avatar is a 1932 Ford. I was...

Mike, please include me in the distribution list for a copy of this, thanks! [email protected]

This probably won't do you any good. A red pad is designed for applying wax or sealant. It doesn't have enough backbone to engage the abrasives of a compound/polish/AIO product against the paint. Think of it like a hard or soft mattress. The abrasives will "sink in" to the foam of a red pad and...

I'm with Paul A., I use the Lake Country force pads on my rotary. I'm personally not a fan of any of the pads with "texture" like the kompressor or CCS. You're talking about working on 2 Asian cars and you can expect them to have softer paint. If they're dark colored paints I would expect...

Lawrence, you are one of the MASTERS! Looks phenomenal, great work.

You should have come here before you bought those Chemical Guys polishes. They make some very nice products but their polishing line leaves a lot to be desired. Their marketing machine, however, if best in the business ;-) Your scratches don't look that bad to me. I would look to Menzerna...

A nice rinse less wash kit.

I have a 2014 R/T. It's the perfect combination of utility and fun factor. I don't think there's any other vehicle on the market like it.
