Desertnate — thanks. Maybe the smearing idea is the right one. I clearly see the rainbow and have a good idea that it’s flashing like it should, it just seems like it wipes off too easy even at 4-5 minutes. Maybe the grabby idea has led me astray, and I’m too concerned with taking it off too...

Cayenne — I use the carpro suede mfs to remove, and while it is mildly grabby and takes a little pressure To remove, I have no high spots that remain. Bsoares— I’m in St. Louis where it can get hot and humid. Seem to have this same pattern of extended time (with a few minutes of variation)...

Thanks Guz. Agreed—I do follow those instructions, including on a freshly polished vehicle with Eraser prior. I don’t think I am putting it on too thick as a 30ml bottle is sufficient for my midsized Acura MDX SUV. I’ve literally used my IPhone stop watch on the initial test spot to get the...

I really like using coatings and encourage those who have not tried them so do so...really have not encountered any difficulties in application. However, I am challenged to identify the correct “flashing time” required between application and wipe off. I realize if I wipe off too soon, it...

Thanks Mike! Is the Supa Beast’s positive drive the same as The forced rotation on the Beast? Does the Supa Beast perform like the Beast, e.g, great for compounding? Maybe it’s better? Let me know your thoughts. thanks.

Must admit—- this news of no more BEAST — has caught me off guard. I have had one for 5-6 years and love it. Is FLEX going to come out with a new gear driven forced rotation model to replace? If not, what options will we have for other forced rotation polishers? I think Rupes has one...

Which model is the Supa Beast?

It seems like all glass coatings leave a haze after application. Most coatings I have used say to wipe off excess within 1 minute of application. Flashing occurs quickly and the remainder is to be wiped off with a mf towel. There is a lot of hazy residue that cannot be wiped off. How do you...

What do you think is the best coating for windshields? Do you have a favorite? I have used car pro thirty, McKee’s glass coating, and gtechniq g1. Hard to give a winner, perhaps the g1 performs slightly better. Have not tried optimum at this point, and unsure if it’s worth the cash. Maybe...

I have not regularly used the soap foaming step in my wash routine and did recently after a highway trip to get all the grime off. I’ve always wondered if you guys foam regularly like each wash? Or every other? Have you noticed any advanced rate of degradation of your wax, syn wax, or coating...

I like the Si02 sprays and have used them only on my cars that have been coated in their last full detail. i have not used them to top my car that has a synthetic sealant —- WGDGS. I have used the WG spritz or Beadmaker as a topper on this car. Wondering if you have used a spray Si02 over a...

I have a few detail sprays but I find myself not reaching for those if I have a quick wipe down to do between washes. With the waterless wash products now available, and the ability to get a detailer level concentration, it seems like the waterless wash has more lubricity and less chance of...

Thanks guys, this helps.

Interested in your favorite interior cleaner that you use for the vinyl and plastic surfaces in a full detail. I am doing a deep clean on the interior, and I have some quick detailers I use on a routine basis, but I’m looking for a stronger cleaner for this full detail. I have tried the 303...

That’s it!

Thanks! I used parchment paper (didn’t have wax on hand) and it appears to work great.

This was a great find. This towel is small, I believe it’s 7” x 7” and is great for claying wheels. I bought it just to add to my arsenal of claying tools (nanoskin mitt) and wasn’t sure exactly how I was going to use it. The wheel claying idea was great. This towel easily fits in your hand...

My nanoskin mitt and speed master towel stick to everything when I store them. The towels clay surface sticks to itself when folded and I have to be careful when unfolding. The mitt sticks to the plastic container it came in and the cardboard insert. I’m afraid of ripping the surface and...

I have a minimally used flex rotary that I want to sell. What suggestions do you have about how best to sell it? Can do eBay, Craig’s list, etc. just didn’t know if there you had other specific auto detailing options that would be better. Thanks.
