Do you have to use a MF pad? What about LC hybrid pad use? I have a daily driver in decent shape -- last correction 6 months ago -- so I am considering trying Essence with the LC pad that gives the right amount of light correction and gloss. Any thoughts here?

What size of bearing?

Will the stainless interact with the product or infuse any unwanted metallic properties that could undermine the product function?

Anybody seen an electric product mixer/shaker like the ones for paint in the stores? I have thought it would be handy to have one with adjustable holders at 90 degrees to hold any size and shape of detailing product to shake it up...especially the gallons of product that sits a bit and...

I really like leather masters. The cleaner was effective, the moisturizer actually made the seats more supple, and the protectant is working thus far. I am more satisfied with these products than others I have used.

I'll take a buff and polish please....

That is too funny!!! Me neither.....

Thanks everyone for weighing in. The prep steps, no doubt, are the key to the final look and shine. I believe I have got the routine down, but am always trying new products. I do think there is some synergy between the prep and the final protection and know that each topper has slightly...

Since I've never used a coating, I would like your opinions about coatings' glossiness, reflectivity, shine, and depth as compared to LSPs like WG3.0, 4*UPP, etc. I have read a lot about coating durability and slickness and sheeting for rain and dirt, but haven't seen much talk about improved...

I need some information about the longer term use and maintenance of coatings. I have never used a coating -- using LSP's. How do you determine when it is time to reapply the coating? I assume it's inspections for slickness, beading, etc. just like with other products? Is the process for...

So what is your alternative method, if I might ask?

Nick, from your reply above ( sorry, don't know how to post quote of just part of posting and dint want to quote nicks entire response): The "2 year" longevity rating is very conservative. Anyone that's experienced with coatings will easily see 4 or 5 years from Crystal coat. Nick, what is...

Was there any durability testing done on uber? Maybe nick can weigh in on expected life?

Justin thanks. I like the multiuse idea too. Have used cquartz uk, DLux and DP wheels coatings and love what they do for shine and longevity, e.g. No brake dust build up. So I am intrigued about the simplicity of using uber everywhere on car!!

Justin, great review. How do you describe the shine and reflectivity of uber ( or black fire, etc.) vs LSPs like WG 3.0 and 4*UPP? I am using these and have not used a coating before, so I'm interested in the degree of pop between them. Anyone weigh in. Thanks.

Does anybody have a pro/con list or a "special characteristic" list for all the new coatings -- black fire, Wolfgang, PBL, cquartz and uk, etc so one can pick the one that is the" best fit"? Longevity, temp, rain, shine, durability, dark/light paint, slickness, etc. are some of the variables...

Do you wash mitt before first use?

FWIW, I used DLUX for the first time on 2 cars last cycle of headlight cleaning and I am on 2 years and still looking good. I like the constant look out for new/ better/ different products, but the DLUX may be hard to beat IMHO.

Found them listed under the porter cable section where you can buy them as single brushes. It doesn't expressly say they are the same brushes as those in the cyclo 2 pack but look the same.

Any way to order single brushes --- not 2 packs -- so I can get a gray and aqua for my tires?
