    Topping a DuPont Coating?

    The DuPont coating (from what I have seen) is a creme sealant that is applied then buffed off. Do a good decontamination wash, clay if needed, and apply CarPro Reload.

    Mobile Detailing-new venture

    Top sealant with reload?

    Technically; Reload is designed to bond to bare paint or a CQuartz coating. Will it bond to the Wolfgang? Possibly. How long ill it stay? Unknown. I would ensure the Wolfgang has had time to cure at least a week before applying Reload over it. Reload also does awesome on glass and wheels fyi.

    Best car scent

    I`m careful with many of my clients who have kids when spraying fragrances. I will usually let him/her smell the scent beforehand to ok it. I keep 3 scents: - New Car: a few spritzes after an interior detail with cloth seats - Leather Scent - same as above except for leather seats - CG...

    Next 5 Friday's off.

    That`s super smart. When I was in the corporate world, I would try to use a day or two of my vacation with holidays to get the most use out of them. My favorite was to take a half day off on Friday and whole day Monday. We could travel that Friday afternoon, have 2 good days of fun, quick drive...

    C2v3 or Reload over Crystal Serum Light?

    I`m one of those weird guys who likes to stay within a company`s realm when using coating toppers as the company`s develop them for their specific coatings. So, if I was using a Gtechniq coating, I would use their topper. I top CQuartz Family of coatings with Reload, and Opti Seal over Opti Coat...

    Orange peel on sitting somewhat fresh paint

    Pretty good plan. Wipe with Eraser or similar after the compound step and inspect to ensure you removed all sanding marks and there are no pigtails or RIDS you want to address before moving to polishing.

    Interior cleaner and conditioner that smells good

    I love Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer for a light smell and wipe downs. For heavier cleaning, Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel smells amazing!

    HD Speed topped with CQuartz

    Theres absolutely nothing wrong with topping an AIO honestly. Is it redundant? Maybe to some. I, for example, top HD Speed with Optimum Spray wax for a bit more slickness and longevity in protection. Can I see topping it with a traditional creme sealant or paste wax? Not personally. But, it...

    A real conundrum (may purchase a car)

    Buy it. Teaching your daughter (or any new driver) with a manual is safer in my opinion. It forces them to pay attention more and ensures no other kids will be able to drive it.

    School me on extractors

    If you're not willing to spend close that on a heated extractor, then buy a steamer. It will not take the place of a good extractor however.

    Chemical Guys Hybrid V7 or Meguiars D156

    I personally like Hybrid V07, but don't use it anymore. Meguiars D156 is awesome to use as a drying aid. I am a huge user of Ultima Waterless Wash + as a drying aid and detail spray. Check with Nick @ McKee`s and see what his recommendations are on using the N-14 as a drying aid and suggested...

    Paint Correction Necessary for a Brand New Car?

    From experience of correcting and coating brand new Tesla`s, I say with confidence it will need at least some spot correction. The ceramic coating installer should also have built at least a polish into his price honestly and should inspect the car with you and inform you of what he feels needs...

    Would you include water spot removal in a basic detail package? and how to?

    Its important to neutralize them first. I keep a bottle of Spotless and if I detail a vehicle with bad spots, I will usually try a small spot with it to see if there will come out. If the remover will take them out, I will usually let the customer know and uncharge a bit if they wish. If it need...
